10/10 Experience - Phenomenal tour. We had Ash and she was great. Full of so much knowledge and love for her city and culture, and really made us feel part of it all. It was a great way to explore the city, and I highly recommend to anyone traveling to Christchurch for the first time. It's a great first-day activity. We got so many good recommendations that this tour has made the rest of our trip even better. Can't recommend it enough.

Local insights like you’re one of the family - Generous and authentic and experience with Riwai who made us feel like family from the moment we met him until we said goodbye. Loads of local knowledge and insights were shared while walking and over delicious local food and beverages.

What a fantastic host! - This tour is absolutely worth it when visiting Christchurch. It’s a brilliant way to learn more about the city from a local’s perspective while sampling some of its best food. Christchurch is such a charming city to explore on foot—thank you Riwai and the Amiki team for hosting me!

Great afternoon out - Ash & Emily were great. So knowledgeable and passionate about the city and the history behind it. Absolutely loved the insight into the Māori culture too. They managed to keep things engaging and interesting even though we were walking around in torrential rain. Food was great, I did expect more of a “food tour” rather than lunch at one stop but that’s probably my fault for not reading things properly!

Kai Safari-A Must for Foodies! - We had a wonderful time on our Kai Safari with Riwai! He shared his knowledge and love of Christchurch as well as outstanding eateries! We tried dishes and places we would probably have never had if we were on our own. It was a warm, friendly, and unique experience. One you will enjoy and remember always!

Fabulous few hours - I had a lovely lunch and tour on foot through the streets and alleyways of Christchurch, including a delicious rooftop garden lunch and a couple of dessert stops afterwards. But my favorite part was meeting Ash and learning more about her family and the New Zealand culture. There were just two guests on the tour and I loved our intimate conversations. I felt like I was having lunch with a friend and learned so much. Thanks, Ash!
