Apart of our annual trip in Chch

The hop on&off option offers flexibility of experiencing what surrounds each stop. It is also easy enough to walk around and jump back on as you wish. The guides share different stories, facts on each trip.

Take the Tour and then Hop Off to Enjoy a Site (or Eat!)

I found this to be the ideal intro to Christchurch and its history. The guides (the tram drivers) tell stories about the various sights and attractions, as well as some history lessons. You'll get a good idea of what's where, and on the second trip around (it takes about 1/2 hour), you can jump off to explore your choice.

Thanks for joining us and providing the detailed review Kind Regards Christchurch Attractions

Tram Tour

Fabulous outing on the tram exploring the inner city. Our guide Elliot was so informative, amusing, knowledgeable, professional made for a very interesting tour. I learnt things I never knew about the city I was born and bred in. Highly recommend anyone takes the tour, not just for the tourists.

Operator response
