  • Very good tour. We wanted to know how the earthquake had affected the city and its people and we felt we came away with a very good knowledge of both the tragic and positives of this horrific time. Highly Recommended... take your camera!

  • I was part of a group of 6 who went on this tour and it was fantastic. The tour company were extremely efficient from the moment we stepped off the cruise, to making sure we were back on board in time. The drive from Akaroa to Christchurch was spectacular. One of the most picteresque drives Ive seen. We arrived in Christchurch and had a little stop in town for refreshments. We continued with our guide who took us on a short tour around Christchurch. Our guides local knowledge was commendable, humorous and very interesting. We were then dropped off for our jet boating adventure on Waimak River. We jet boated over the crystal clear waters weaving in and out of some pretty hairy obstacles. I was amazed to see such control over such a speedy vessel. Our jet boating guide was very friendly and truly gave us a ride of our lives.

    Excellent way to see all of the sights, the drivers were very knowledgeable and gave excellent commentary all the way through. For someone who has never visited before, it is the best way to get around.

  • I throughly enjoyed our trip. Our driver was amazing, giving us personal experiences along with lots of information. He stopped numerous times so we could take pictures, which I really appreciated. The trip through the mountains was great and I would do it again in a minute.

  • "Highly Recommend"
    I can't compliment this tour company enough. The overall experience from the online booking to the tour returning us to the cruise ship at the appointed time was fantastic. Both the scenery and the commentary were terrific and the coach comfortable. Of all the tours I have done this was one of the best.
