Pete is very knowledgeable and passionate about Christchurch and was a very friendly and respectful guide. Unfortunately it was a very rainy and windy day and both the punting and gondola were unavailable. Despite this we had a great time driving around and learning about the city and the tram ride and lunch were great. Pete also arranged a partial refund, which was paid very quickly, to for the activities we couldn’t complete. Highly recommended

Pete is a superb tour guide; informative, friendly, and entertaining. He knew many of the other operators that we encountered along the way too, such as the tram drivers, and is evidently a popular man. There was a perfect balance of time together and time to ourselves at various activities, with no push to hurry at any stage. I'm very glad I chose his company for a snapshot of Christchurch, cementing my determination to come back and spend more time here in the next couple of years. Thanks for being a great Christchurch ambassador Pete!

Pete was very professional and knowledgeable. Great tour! Very good value for money. Saw all the main sites around the city - including the gondola and punting on the Avon River. Pete personalised the tour, taking into account our interests and also giving consideration to my wife's mobility issues. Lunch was included in the tour which was a nice touch, and was delicious. Would definitely recommend the tour and cannot speak highly enough of Pete who really made the tour exceptional.

The discover Christchurch Tour tram is a must. Make it one of the first things you do, to help get your bearings around the city. It is a hop on/hop off all day experience. The driver "motorman" is extremely knowledgeable, with a sense of humour and will answer your questions. We did feel it was a little expensive for what it delivers, but worth the toour.
