3.00Thoroughly enjoyed the tram ride (informative) and the punting on the River but found the fact we had booked the gondola ride a waste of time This cable car is not in the city but some distance away in Littleton. We had docked from a cruise ship in Littleton, paid to transit into Christchurch, then found we were expected to pay either on a shuttle or go by public bus [no cards taken) out to the cable car. If we then tried to walk to the ship we were not allowed to walk through the dock yard. Tram and punting good fun, much extra time and cash needed to get to the cable car.
Very enjoyable and a good way to see Christchurch

5.00All 3 attractions are great, especially the gondola, fantastic veiws. Could easily spend 2 - 3 hours on a good day taking in the veiw and even the gift shop had some unique things. The punting is great fun on the rivet and with the tram ride you can learn some interesting history of the city.
Watch out for the extra cost!!!

3.00Enjoyed the three activities but was disappointed that we had to pay an extra $30 for a shuttle bus from the city to the gondola ride which only leave from the tram stop on the hour. I would have thought that would have been included.

5.00the tram pass is great even the cable car super nothing to say easy to access and pick up by the shuttle on the other hand you have to pay the shuttle which is not included in the tourist pass the visit of the boat was not carried out because bad weather was at the rendezvous rain and lightning they were very responsive and advised us well for 1 partial refund to see with the booking provider or postpone to 1 other day but it was not possible for us because we left tomorrow morning on queenstown
Great package deal to see the sights of Christchurch

5.00The best part of the package was the flexibility and also the cost saving, we chose to start off punting first thing in the morning as it was a very calm and beautiful morning with only a few others, no kayaks yet and no big tour groups. We then went on the tram as the weather came in with some showers as it was nice to do the whole loop and look around, plus it made us see where other things where located. We then went on the Gondola, very easy to take the local bus from the interchange, just tap and go credit card or $4 each way, great system and very regular. The view from the top of the mountain was fantastic, even though it was blowing a gale. The weather had cleared, so it was perfect blue sky you could see all around. We chose to have lunch up at the top as the cafe was reasonably priced with nice staff and the food was great quality. We even bought stuff from the gift shop as it was well priced and decent quality. I would strongly recommend this package for anyone with a full day in Christchurch as you can also hop on and off the Tram as much as you want to get around
