5.00A 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 must do!

Christchurch "classic" and reinvented tour

5.00We 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.

5.00This 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.

5.00Our 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!
