5.00Pete 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!

5.00Pete 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.

5.00The 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.
Worth much more than you’ll pay, a truly outstanding experience!

5.00An exceptional value, must do when you’re in Christchurch. Pete knows everything about the area and will lead the perfect tour. We got so much done, much more than we ever could have on our own, including a driving tour of the area with expert commentary, a citytram tour, the cable cars, and punting on the Avon. Pete even arranged lunch ( no additional cost) at a charming restaurant by the river.

5.00The tour was well-organised and efficient. Pete our guide was engaging and entertaining. He kept the tour lively with his anecdotes and stories, making it feel like a real adventure rather than just a lecture. Pete managed the group effectively, ensuring everyone stayed on track and had a smooth experience. We had an amazing time on our tour. We would highly recommend Discover Christchurch.
Enjoyable tour
