5.00We had a fantastic experience on the Discover Christchurch tour with Pete and John! Pete was very engaging and knowledgeable about all things New Zealand. The transition between each activity was seamless, and we never felt rushed at any point during the tour - which we greatly appreciated. This tour was the highlight of our time in Christchurch; I would highly recommend!
A throughly enjoyable day, would recommend without reservation.

5.00This tour was the first of several pre-planned activities across NZ South Island and it got us off to a great start by setting a very high standard. Pete is a very personable and knowledgable guide, friendly, informative and efficient. In a few short hours we covered a lot of ground including a City Tram ride, Punting on the Avon, a Gondola ride above the port at Lyttelton and visits to Mona Vale and other landmarks. All were included in the initial price and each time Pete left us to enjoy the experience by ourselves while he waited to collect us at the end and drove us off to the next stop. Pete also explained a great deal about the Christchurch earthquake and he showed us in detail how it had impacted on various parts of the city and especially in some of the suburbs. An additional surprise was the excellent lunch that he organised for us, not just a paper bag with a sandwich and a piece of fruit but a superb meal in the beautiful Curator's House. This time he joined us so we could enjoy hearing more about this beautiful city. Full marks for that Pete!
