Good tour that’s worth doing - We really enjoyed the walking tour of Christchurch with Ash. She was engaging. A little Māori culture, a little Christchurch history, we tasted chocolate then lunch and drinks and Gelato to finish. Very enjoyable. I probably would have preferred more small food tastings than sitting down for lunch, but that doesn’t take away from a very good tour that’s just my preference.

Fantastic!!! - A tour through the corners of the city's history and culture. The fantastic guide, helpful and attentive. Very knowledgeable about the story to tell us, the Maori culture and the dishes tasted. Particular attention to my not mastering the English language, speaking slowly making it easier to understand. Even if you were to stay in the city only a few hours it is worth taking this tour to learn a lot about the history and culture of the city.

Better than expected! Good Value! - If you’re visiting Christchurch I’d highly recommend spending your time with Riwi Grace with Amiki Cultural Food Tours! The conversations were deep in Māori culture sprinkled in with plenty of food and beverage for lunch, ice cream, coffee and chocolate.

Fantastic Experience - One of the highlights of our trip to New Zealand. Riwai was an incredible guide mixing history, current events, culture, and food. One of the most genuinely nicest humans I have ever met. Cannot recommend this tour enough.

Excellent tour - Our tour with Ash was amazing. Her love of Christchurch shone through as she showed us her city through her eyes. She is articulate and knowledgeable: a dynamite combination. Her storytelling is engaging and helped us to begin to understand the Māori culture and New Zealand history. This should be a don’t miss tour in Christchurch, especially under Ash’s guidance. We are all grateful that we had this opportunity with her.

Christchurch food and historical tour - The guide was knowledge and toured us through the most important segments of the city, showing the devastating earthquake effects and the reconstruction processes. Lunch was excellent, there was a chocolate tasting, a Manuka honey tasting good and ice cream.

Magnificent Tour - EMILY was terrific! She was a fountain of information about the city & shared about the Maori people including her personal family connections. She made the city come alive for us, and the food was tremendous that she ordered. What a treat to have her as our guide & to see Christchurch through her eyes. Couldn't have asked for a better tour.
