Excellent tour of Christchurch - We have a fantastic day with Peter. He was very friendly and informative. Loved the activities, and the lunch provided. If you only have one day in Christchurch definitely book his tour. He picked us up from the drop of point with the cruise. It was great to get local knowledge as well as a guided tour of the main attractions of Christchurch.

An exceptional tour in all aspects - Pete was a wealth of information with an obvious love for this beautiful city. We were on a tour with just 4 people, from a cruise ship. From the moment Pete picked us up he accommodated our needs and worked around the weather. We learned so much about the history of the city, the devastation as a result of the earthquakes and the positivity of Christchurch citizens during the rebuild. Tapas lunch at the Curators Cottage was exceptional. Worth every cent do not hesitate in booking this tour. Thank you so much Pete

Secondhand review :) - In full disclosure, I had to skip this tour but my group had such a great time they made sure that I took the time to write a review on their behalf. I had a bad upper respiratory bug and didn't want to expose other tour participants so I stayed away. My wife and friends came back from the tour with only great things to say about their experience. They said it was well worth the money and were sad that I had to miss the tour.

Great tour - Had a great guide that was very accommodating seeing as my wife broke her ankle just before we started our cruise and was in a wheelchair.

Don’t hesitate to book this tour! Pete is the perfect tour guide! - This tour was fantastic! The small group of 7 tourists was the ideal size. The tour van was clean and comfortable with large windows for sightseeing. We never felt rushed at the attractions. Pete was easy to understand and very knowledgable about the area. We especially enjoyed the variety of activities including the gondola, street car, a wonderful lunch at a quaint restaurant in the Botanic Gardens and, my favorite…punting on the Avon! Christchurch was a beautiful destination and we had the best tour guide ever! We covered so much ground in just one day and we were back to our ship in plenty of time. Thank you to Pete for a great experience!
