Pete was very... - Pete was very professional and knowledgeable. Great tour! Very good value for money. Saw all the main sites around the city - including the gondola and punting on the Avon River. Pete personalised the tour, taking into account our interests and also giving consideration to my wife's mobility issues. Lunch was included in the tour which was a nice touch, and was delicious. Would definitely recommend the tour and cannot speak highly enough of Pete who really made the tour exceptional.

Discover Christchurch Tour tram - The discover Christchurch Tour tram is a must. Make it one of the first things you do, to help get your bearings around the city. It is a hop on/hop off all day experience. The driver "motorman" is extremely knowledgeable, with a sense of humour and will answer your questions. We did feel it was a little expensive for what it delivers, but worth the toour.

Worth much more than you’ll pay, a truly outstanding experience! - An exceptional value, must do when you’re in Christchurch. Pete knows everything about the area and will lead the perfect tour. We got so much done, much more than we ever could have on our own, including a driving tour of the area with expert commentary, a citytram tour, the cable cars, and punting on the Avon. Pete even arranged lunch ( no additional cost) at a charming restaurant by the river.

Spin and Soak Mid Canterbury - The tour was well-organised and efficient. Pete our guide was engaging and entertaining. He kept the tour lively with his anecdotes and stories, making it feel like a real adventure rather than just a lecture. Pete managed the group effectively, ensuring everyone stayed on track and had a smooth experience. We had an amazing time on our tour. We would highly recommend Discover Christchurch.

Excellent tour of Christchurch - We have a fantastic day with Peter. He was very friendly and informative. Loved the activities, and the lunch provided. If you only have one day in Christchurch definitely book his tour. He picked us up from the drop of point with the cruise. It was great to get local knowledge as well as a guided tour of the main attractions of Christchurch.

An exceptional tour in all aspects - Pete was a wealth of information with an obvious love for this beautiful city. We were on a tour with just 4 people, from a cruise ship. From the moment Pete picked us up he accommodated our needs and worked around the weather. We learned so much about the history of the city, the devastation as a result of the earthquakes and the positivity of Christchurch citizens during the rebuild. Tapas lunch at the Curators Cottage was exceptional. Worth every cent do not hesitate in booking this tour. Thank you so much Pete

Secondhand review :) - In full disclosure, I had to skip this tour but my group had such a great time they made sure that I took the time to write a review on their behalf. I had a bad upper respiratory bug and didn't want to expose other tour participants so I stayed away. My wife and friends came back from the tour with only great things to say about their experience. They said it was well worth the money and were sad that I had to miss the tour.

Great tour - Had a great guide that was very accommodating seeing as my wife broke her ankle just before we started our cruise and was in a wheelchair.
