Timely Pick Ups and Drop Offs - The tram experience was wonderful! Each conductor gave the narrative and each one was very informative. The other plus with the tram is that they came often for each pick up spot. I’ve been on other hop on, hop offs where you have to wait a half an hour or more. Not so with the Christchurch tram. A great way to first see the city!

Beautiful and informative way to explore the city - What a lovely way to see the city centre! The guides were friendly, funny and very informative. We had the privilege of riding on the oldest Tram, beautiful carriages with old adverts and signs. It was really a spectacular experience.
