  We actually had a private Christchurch private tour of Christchurch and the surrounding area. Our guide was Mandy and she was fantastic! She asked what we were interested in and we mentioned street art, cultural places, recovery from the earthquake and aftershocks etc. She showed us many examples of street are during the day - some so stunning - one was a 3D of the storefronts that had been destroyed by the earthquake - so cool. We visited many places in the city including the catherdral, riverside market and so much more. We then drove into the hills above the city and had breathtaking views of Christchurch. Our recommendation is to ask for Mandy if you want to learn about the city and have a very pleasant day.

  This was a really great experience! Our guide, Tia, was knowledgeable, personable and professional. We thoroughly enjoyed her company throughout the better part of a day. Her personal connection with the wineries made for a special experience as well. Another special aspect of the tour was Tia's personal recollections and commentary on the rebuilding of Christchurch.

• Christchurch and wine.

  What a wonderful day out. Sue took us to the highest point above the city for far reaching views surrounding the area. We drove on with great explanations of the cities history and viewpoints. We next visited two lovely small vineyards in the region. We had some delicious wines at both. At St. Georges we had lunch too, a cheeseboard with delicious bread and pickles. Felt very relaxed. Thank you to Sue for the excellent company, we felt we had known her for years.

• Time for wine.

  We went to several wonderful wineries. Tia was a wonderful guide. She had a lot of knowledge of Christchurch, itself, but also took us to some great places to taste wine. One of our favorites was Terrace Edge.

• Custom Earthquake Tour

  Our tour was a custom earthquake focused tour of Christ Church. Tia was an excellent tour guide. One of our group had studied the liquefaction of soils for her university degree, and so much of the story of the earthquakes was of great interest to her. I was moved by Tia’s descriptions of her experiences on the day of the earthquake, which she and her family survived, and was moved also when she drove us through the "red zone" of her old neighborhood, where no building will ever be permitted again, to see all the fruit trees which were soon to be harvested.

  This was basically a private tour, as only my husband and I were booked. Sue (if I remember the name) drove us in a van to the Port Hills. It was amazing to see the serious bicyclists ride up that hill. The views from various locations was cool. Then Sue took us to three wineries for tastings. It was a very pleasant time. The wine was very good. I even found a red that wasn’t bitter. We did not see much in Christchurch proper other than to drive by places we should see.

• Nice wine tasting, good lunch, good tour guide

  We enjoyed the entire day. The tour guide asked what we had already seen and done in Christchurch and then taylored the city tour based on what we hadn't seen. The vineyards and wine tasting were nice. Lunch was great. The only downside was that the tour guide never asked if anyone had food allergies. When the meals arrived, they contained a food that 1 person was very allergic to. We had to send back his plate and make it clear that he couldn't eat anything that had come in contact with that food. Because the restaurant was busy, we had to wait quite a while for the new plate of food to arrive.

  Fiona did an excellent job of showing us Christchurch and briefing us on the history and current situation of the city. Then came the wine tasting in the Wairapa region: an excellent selection of vineyards where we had time to talk personally with the staff and appreciate the lovely settings, for example the gardens and architecture of some sites. The group was small and lively discussion ensued throughout the tour.

• A great day out

  There were four of us (all friends) on this tour with Fiona as our driver and guide. She was excellent and the tour of the inner city well commentated. The vineyards chosen were excellent and the lovely hot chocolate at the end of the day a bonus. A leisurely day out.
