Great walking tour of the best of Christchurch - Simon was great. He provided interesting historical info and insights. He is very proud of his home city of Christchurch and it was revealed in his sense of humor and presentation as we walked. It was active but at our pace. He was gracious with our questions and pointed out several points of interest that are off the beaten path, things we could only see about town with a local. We started in the beautiful city botanical gardens and a walk along the Avon River as well as the city art murals while talking about some of the challenging times and the resilience of the Christchurch people as they recover and grow. Great city, great tour, great guide. Very recommended guide. We enjoyed our visit.
