What people are saying about Christchurch
Overall rating
Very well organised, beforehand and on the day itself. Our driver Nick was great, with his banter and knowledge of the area. We had a great time with a really nice mix of people. By the time we left the first winery we were all sharing experiences and were full of conversation. Very relaxed, lovely lunch, nice wines and some great vineyard settings with very friendly staff. Highly recommended.
We really enjoyed our day trip during which we saw the beautiful mountains and got to walk among the huge rocks of Castle Hill. Sophie our guide was very thoughtful and efficient. We had a great lunch and snacks. We were well taken care of. We would have enjoyed a bit more commentary but it was well worth the time and cost.
Amazing thoughtful driver for the bus, he was just so great! the train was super too but it was just an attraction, not personal like the driver of the bus. Next time I would do the whole trip on the bus and save some money
Great way to see centre of Christchurch and hop off for more interesting locations
Very interesting view of the city and the top of gondola had great sights
