- Christchurch Cathedral - Witness the impact of two devastating earthquakes on our city, most evident in one of the last buildings still under repair, our iconic and beloved Cathedral.
- Sign of the Kiwi Cafe - On a clear day, enjoy expansive views over the Canterbury Plains to the Southern Alps, down Pegasus Bay to the Kaikouras, and virtually every aspect of Christchurch City.
- Sign of the Takahe - Offering panoramic views of the city from a lower vantage point, traveling through one of Christchurch’s oldest and most desirable suburbs, Cashmere.
- The Arts Centre - Featuring some of the oldest stone buildings still standing in the city. Home to Ernest Rutherford’s Den, the ornate ‘Great Hall,’ and many fascinating nooks and crannies. Once the site of the University of Canterbury and Christchurch Boys High School, the Arts Centre stands today as one of our most magnificent original stone buildings.
- Riverside Market - An exciting new development with a 7-day-a-week indoor market, connected to a vibrant network of boutique retail, restaurants, cafes, and bars. Riverside offers a unique inner-city shopping experience for both locals and visitors.
- Sumner Beach (Cave Rock) - On a good day, Sumner Beach is unbeatable. We’ll show you from the top of the beach area known as the Esplanade, down to ‘The Beach’ cafe. Often humorously referred to as the Riviera of Christchurch by locals, it is perfectly nestled in the surrounding hills.
- Hagley Park - At the heart of Christchurch since the 1850s, set aside for recreation and enjoyment. One of the most beautiful and well-maintained parks you’ll visit, Hagley Park features a network of tracks linking North Hagley, South Hagley, and the Botanic Gardens.

Relaxing customized experience - We were picked up on time and ready to go. Bruce was our tour guide. He was intimately familiar with the area and provided wonderful insight and customized the experience for us. Snacks and water included! We never felt rushed and were returned right on time.

We Saw It ALL! - Chris was a great guide! He was incredibly informative and personable and showed us everything there is to see in Christchurch and more. The tour was perfectly paced. We had time on our own for lunch in the Riverside Market, and got a real feel for the city. I highly recommend Chris and this tour.

Excellent Christchurch City and Surrounds Tour! - Andrew was a wonderful tour guide and my family and I had a great time in the Tesla! He is deeply passionate about the travel industry and his home city of Christchurch and can provide a city tour like no other by giving interesting and informative commentary about the city's history, culture, and attractions at the same time being flexible to my family's needs.

Great tour, poor tour communication - Chris, our guide, planned a day based on what we wanted to do. We went all over the city, water front, and beaches. We saw way more than we could have seen on our own. We had a little time to explore on our own at Riverside Market and eat lunch. He was very knowledgeable and was open to questions. The tour company could improve by answering questions; it was unclear where to meet them. I texted, emailed, and tried to call (number didn’t work). Our booking said Cruise ship berth, but you actually take a bus out of berth to Lyllleton. This caused some confusion and a little stress for me that morning, since I booked and everyone expected me to know where to go.
