Good way of seeing Centre of Christchurch, gaining helpful knowledge from drivers - We usually take a hop on hop off bus when arriving at a city to get an idea of where we wish to spend more time. The trams seem to get almost swamped by numbers visiting from cruise boats. We were able to work around numbers on the day. I do believe extra trams may be put on these days. Regardless not a big problem.

Great - The tram is a must! Great and easy way to explore the city. Staff were helpful and informative. The Gondola is also a nice place to visit for spectacular view from the peak.

Sunny sightseeing - We struck it lucky with a warm sunny day when we visited. We used the tram several times in the day and enjoyed the experience. The drivers have their own characters and are full of useful info. We would recommend for anyone considering booking it.

Well worth doing - Really worth doing, authentic trams with a driver that gives you a running commentary that is interesting and informative. We bought the day ticket and jumped on and off. Used it to visit the botanical gardens.

Christchurch hop on hop off trams - We had an issue with the barcode not coming up on my phone from the payment email but they honoured the confirmation when I showed them my email. The tram driver was very knowledgeable about Christchurch and the earthquake and also very funny. There was space on the trams to sit despite it being very busy with cruise ship passrngers

Would make sure you communicate things yourself. Reception won’t pass information on. - Lovely trip with Carol, definitely recommend her! Organisation non existent, rang to enquire about disability access and left message. Call not returned. We arrived and the response was “I was just going to call you back.” Reception said they would radio through and let the driver know my situation. Carol turned up and hadn’t been told anything. She was really good about it but I did feel sorry for her having to adjust things on the spot.
