Great way to see Christchurch in a day. - We loved the combo package that included the HOHO bus, the boat ride and the gondola. We learned a lot about the town and history during the bus ride and boat tour. Many places to see and learn about. The gondola ride was the best providing a 360 view of the Christchurch area. All of this gave us a good perspective and appreciation of Christchurch.

Relaxing way to see things - We really enjoyed this package. The hop on hop off tram was great to get around. The punting on the river was so nice and the gondola ride is a must. Views are amazing. Definitely do this in Christchurch.

Peaceful scenic ride. - The punt experience was a delight. Crew esp. Theo gave the ride a sense of occasion, and the surrounding banks of the Avon were beautiful to see.

A Solo travelers dream! - This is by far the best tour I have taken. Christchurch is easily navigable. This tour made impossible to see every main spot and get delicious food along the way. I would definitely recommend this tour especially for solo travelers who do not want to get tied up with busy tour groups.

Wonderful sight seeing packed - Tram ride is a breeze and the operators are super friendly and helpful. Punting is relaxing and the “pilot” is funny and skilful. The best is the gondola experience. The view from the top is spectacular and breathtaking. A best when visiting Christchurch.

Great value for moy - Value for money, allows you to do three things and saves cost. Views from Gondola were the most amazing part and punting plus tram is a must do to complete your sight seeing in Christchurch however those are not out of the world.

Need to make sure that people can book for the punting and that there's enough space. - The gondola was very nice. It had amazing views. Unfortunately the punting was all booked up so we didn't get to use that.

Great way to learn about Christchurch on short time. - The Christchurch Sightseeing Pass was a great way to learn about Christchurch while on limited time. We arrived off a cruise ship and managed to get through the tram and punt but unfortunately as our ship was leaving at 3pm we did not have time to go on the gondola. The tram was busy first thing in the morning, so we would recommend walking to any of the other stops (most passengers waited at stop 4 to board however the trams did fill up quickly). Once on board the seats were very comfortable and the conductor was so knowledgeable about the various sights of Christchurch. After riding the tram we knew exactly where we wanted to visit and see next. The punt was also stunning. It is a short ride (about 30 mins) but it was so relaxing. Make sure you pre-book the punt before you go as it was sold out on the day we were there, and we are so glad we didn't miss out. The punt and tram are quite close together (about 5-10 min walk), so plan to do these around the same time. We will definitely be going back on this again. The operators were also very helpful both before and during the trip. Very happy with this experience and wouldn't hesitate to do this in the future.

Package is probably not best choice - The tram was packed and not worth the time. Just go punting and save money, it was lovely and right next to the botanical gardens which are a must see. We did not know you had to take a bus or Uber to the gondola and we’re just too tired to deal with it. I would suggest doing all separately is a smarter way to go.
