Worth every penny. We had looked at a few options and this was clearly the right one. Squeezed it in around a work trip and it was worth the time.

Private guide in Christchurch: the Old Town walk
A private guide who knows Christchurch properly — an English-style garden city rebuilt after the earthquakes. No coach, no rush, and the day bends to what you actually want to see.

About this experience
Your guide is a historian or an architect who has lived in Christchurch for years. The day is yours: they will show you what they would show a friend, skip the parts that are only worth a photograph, and find you a table for lunch somewhere locals eat. Because it is private, the pace is whatever suits you, and you can change the plan as the day goes on.

Worth every penny. We had looked at a few options and this was clearly the right one. Went with my partner and we both enjoyed it.

Excellent
Smooth from start to finish. No queues, no confusion, and the guide knew the area inside out. Went with my partner and we both enjoyed it.

Highly recommend
One of the best experiences of our trip. Everything ran on time and the staff were genuinely helpful. Travelled on my own and felt completely comfortable.
