A brilliant walking tour conducted by our guide Liam. It was smooth paced, so informative and engaging. We learnt a lot about the city of Christchurch, its history, modern times, architecture and infrastructure and a lot more. We also got recommendations on what to see / try / do during our trip and Liam made sure he kept the group together, engaged and was respectful of everyone. He also answered our queries and also gave tidbits of information on cultural nuances, colloquial words, etc - we got to know a whole lot more packed in 2 hours than we would have otherwise. Time well spent and highly recommended activity when in Christchurch!

A great and extremely interesting tour. James was a very entertaining, friendly and informative guide. He knew how to give us his knowledge of the city and its special features. Glad to have been there.

We had an excellent experience on this walking tour with James. He was very knowledgeable about the city and everything it has been through as it reemerges from the earthquake of 2011. He focused on all the positive progress being made and showed us both the "Classic" city and the renewed modernized version. We truly got a sense of the vibe of the city and its people.

This was a last minute addition to our plans and it was well worth it. Our guide Sam was fun and very knowledgeable. She made the tour interesting, fun and relaxing, and we got to see places that ww would never have found on our own. It really helped us get our bearings and allowed us to go back on our own to certain places she pointed out during the tour.

Our guide, Sam, could not have been better. She had a passion for the city and was so proud of the people and ethos that is Cristchurch post earthquake. The 2 hours went so quickly we could have done it again!

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.
