Great insight into Christchurch and surrounding region!! - We did the Banks peninsula half-day tour, which was beautifully scenic and very informative. We learned a lot about the city of ChristChurch and the surrounding territory, including much about ecology geography early history, Maori culture, and even current politics. Our guide Simon was friendly informative and very accommodating. We’d recommend this tour to anyone. He’s adept at tailoring to the interest of the group

Simon was an excellent tour guide, and the 2 hour walking tour was perfect! - We had a wonderful time exploring Christchurch with Simon.
Firstly he was very accommodating of our schedule, allowing us to meet up earlier than booked.
He was very understanding of the different ages and walking abilities of everyone in our private group, and went at a pace that was just right for all of us.
The history of both past and present Christchurch was engaging, as well as his tips on what to see and do once our tour was done.
All in all it was a perfect tour and we highly recommend booking a tour with Simon if you are visiting Christchurch!

Not your average generic tour - This interesting tour takes you beyond the expected, and provides a Christchurch residents perspective of where Christchurch is now following a 10 year band of natural disasters/bad luck. Easy walking pace and plenty of opportunity to ask questions. Highly recommended.

Great overview of Christchurch. - Simon, the tour operator was great. He was on time, personable and welcoming. The tour was extensive, adaptive and informative. It gave a good overview of Christchurch, its history and the rebuilding after the last earthquake. The walking is easy, and Simon goes at your pace.
