Great way to experience the city of Christchurch. Very convenient and trams were not spaced far apart making it easy to get off and do a tour and then hop back on.

Enjoyed the tram which gave us an idea of what Christchurch is like. Good for shopping and gifts for taking home

There are no toilet breaks you can get out on a couple of stops to take photos and stretch the legs. Good tour

If arriving from a cruise, recommend going a few stops back since the line gets pretty busy at first. If you are able to walk, the important parts of the route can easily be done by foot rather than taking the train. The train was more for the experience and getting some info on the city whilst onboard.
