A must for every traveller - Great tour, Reg was a great guide providing a very informative and interesting commentary. It was good to see the buildings that were established after the earthquake and the effect it had on the people of Canterbury.

Don’t miss this tour! - A very interesting walk guided by the passionate, knowledgable Reg who is a great Ambassador for Christchurch. We learnt so much about the history of this beautiful city and how it’s occupants have dealt with the tragic earthquake in 2011. They have responded with resolve and determination to rebuild the city to the excellent standards we see today. Very many thanks Reg and well done Christchurch! We highly recommend this tour.
