Discounted Christchurch Tram tickets - Obtained a discount when booking tickets on TripAdvisor. Normal price $40nz. Changed voucher to tickets easily at tram stop2. All day Hop on Hop Off. A very useful way of getting around Christchurch centre. Informative information from the various team drivers.

A great way to see central Christchurch for the first time. - A great way to see central Christchurch for the first time. Buy a daily ticket on board then hop on and off at the various places of interest. There are 18 stops on the route which takes about 50 mins to do a full circuit. The trams are all about 100 yrs old and there are enough of them running at any one time that you never have to wait more than 5 mins or so for one to come along. The drivers provide a really informative commentary along the way. From memory it was $35/ person, and is great value as you can use it all day as many times as you like. Recommended.

TRY ALL THE TRAMS - A day of hop-on, hop-off is a great way to see central Christchurch. The many stops allowed for time to visit numerous sites pointed out by the drivers. Wonderful experience to try and get on all the different trams and to listen to the many drivers commentaries. Most commentaries were very good and informative with a couple using humour and very good exchanges with the passengers. An experience not to be missed.

Christchurch Tram - Perfect way to see the sights especially if your not up to walking far. Plenty to see and all explained by the tram driver. $40 per ticket is a little pricey but considering it's an all day ticket probably worth it!

Excellent way to spend a half day - Riding around in a historic Tram with the varying stops and interesting places to eat and shop. Also see first hand some of the history of Christchurch along with the beautiful gardens

Practical - We went to Christchurch and did not want to linger. The tram is a good compromise to go around the city center and stop where you want.
