5.00Fabulous outing on the tram exploring the inner city. Our guide Elliot was so informative, amusing, knowledgeable, professional made for a very interesting tour. I learnt things I never knew about the city I was born and bred in. Highly recommend anyone takes the tour, not just for the tourists.

5.00Change paper tickets is easy, just give Viator's booking to staff at the station to change paper tickets. The train goes very slow, probably like the pedestrian and through some prominent points such as New Regent street, the shopping center streets...
Great way to see Christchurch

5.00The Christchurch Hop On Hop Off Tram is the perfect way to get to know this beautiful city. The drivers were very friendly and knowledgeable, and we really appreciated the live commentary rather than a pre-recorded message. It made the experience feel much more personal and engaging. Definitely worth doing when visiting Christchurch.
Cheap option to see Christchurch
