Highly recommend this tram. Interesting commentary, great way to see the CBD! Hop on and off as much as you wish. Trams run every 15 minutes. We had no problem getting the tram, no wait! Visit all the top spots, great way to get around without a car! It is a bit expensive but worth it in my opinion!

I liked having a very different trolley car every time I got back on. Being able to follow on the paper map made it easier to decide which stops to hop off at

Great way to see the city of Christchurch. I love the live commentary rather than recorded. Learn a lot about the history of Christchurch !
Not great value.

The whole route round takes about 50mins if you stay on and get off where you started. Of you are just going to do that, it's a bit over priced. The commentary vary's depending on the driver bug in the main quite good. You can use the tickets at anytime during the day, so if you're using the service to explore different parts then it is useful but the city is very walkable so you can wander around and see all the good bits anyway.

We really enjoyed our ride on the Christchurch tram. A great way to see the city. Really interesting commentary by the drivers. Although the queue was quite long, it moved up quite quickly.
Excellent value to see large part of the city.

This is a great way to get around the city if you don’t want to walk. Hopping on and off introduces you to different guides who point out slightly different things. We went round at least twice for this very reason, sitting on different sides of the trams.
Perfect ride around.

The information that is given is enjoyable.... we jumped on at the interchange( bus station ) stop... i was concerned that we would needs to start at the begining to get tickets..but we showed our tickets and got our passes. We went for a drive around and then jumped off..

The all day pass on the Historic hop-on hop-off tram was worth doing. The commentary helped give you a sense of the city and the rebuilding that is still going on. We utilised the gondola shuttle from stop #2. Then on our return continued connecting to the city. Definitely worth the experience.
