We had a bit of a 'glitch' with our booking at the beginning of the tour in Akaroa but Brian straightened it out and all was great. We particularly liked meeting Ivor at the sheep farm. He was great and the simple lunch was an unexpected 'treat'. Thanks

We loved the sheep farm tour. The owner was very informative and interesting to watch the dog work the sheep heard. Lunch was provided at the farm and great conversation with the owner. Would have liked more time in Christchurch, however, the cruise ship schedule just wouldn't allow it.

This tour was amazing! We enjoyed the tour very much, however, it would be even more perfect if there were more sheep in the demonstration!

"Loved IT!"
The tour was well organized meet off the cruise ship and departed the port on time. The views on the way into Christchurch were amazing, it was worth doing this tour for the scenery alone! We had a tour of Christchurch prior to visiting the farm and was truly shocked at the damage the city had suffered in an earthquake a couple of years earlier. Loved the farm, saw the sheep dog rounding up sheep, sheep shearing and even had something to eat with the farmer and his wife in the woolshed. Great Tour!
