Better than expected
Booked this for our anniversary and it exceeded expectations. Would do it again without hesitation. The children loved it, which is the real test.

Private guide in Christchurch: the Harbour Side 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.

Superb
Booked this for our anniversary and it exceeded expectations. Would do it again without hesitation. Went as a group of four and everyone was happy.

Beautiful setting and very well run. The timing gave us plenty of room to explore at our own pace. Squeezed it in around a work trip and it was worth the time.

Everything was well organised. The meeting point was easy to find and we started exactly on time. Went with my partner and we both enjoyed it.
