Simon was a great guide, full of knowledge while flexible to go in directions that we were interested in. It was a great way to get to know the central business district of Christchurch.

We did the Banks peninsula half-day tour, which was beautifully scenic and very informative. We learned a lot about the city of ChristChurch and the surrounding territory, including much about ecology geography early history, Maori culture, and even current politics. Our guide Simon was friendly informative and very accommodating. We’d recommend this tour to anyone. He’s adept at tailoring to the interest of the group
Wonderful overview of Christchurch

We had a wonderful time exploring Christchurch with Simon. Firstly he was very accommodating of our schedule, allowing us to meet up earlier than booked. He was very understanding of the different ages and walking abilities of everyone in our private group, and went at a pace that was just right for all of us. The history of both past and present Christchurch was engaging, as well as his tips on what to see and do once our tour was done. All in all it was a perfect tour and we highly recommend booking a tour with Simon if you are visiting Christchurch!

Great, fun tour through Christchurch with wonderful tour guide Kim. Really enjoyed it. Kim gave great explanation about Earthquake history and development of Christchurch since the quake. Pointed out interesting facts about buildings and historic monuments as well as artwork.☺️
Not your average generic tour

This interesting tour takes you beyond the expected, and provides a Christchurch residents perspective of where Christchurch is now following a 10 year band of natural disasters/bad luck. Easy walking pace and plenty of opportunity to ask questions. Highly recommended.
