Top attractions in Christchurch

Mr Gary was a caring guide. His tour guidance and commentary in English was superb. Great food, sights, convenient Mercedes mini bus/van. Thanks!

It was our first day in Christchurch and can think of no better way to enjoy our first evening. It was a wonderful meal with excellent wines. The tour round the city gave us lots of ideas as to what to see and do during our time there. Thoroughly recommend doing this.

Was slightly changed from last time,however the dogs were there this Time.My 14 yo really liked patting them.

Why just view Ian Brodie's fine book (2004, 2011) on the filming locations of LOR - when you can immerse yourself in a wonderful full day tour from Christchurch? Mark was a very knowledgeable guide, providing not only photos and props but also a great wealth of information on New Zealand and its physical, biological, and botanical history - and importantly its social and cultural history. The weather was great (and not windy, quite unusual apparently) and we enjoyed our 14 seater 6 wheel drive vehicle to Mt Potts station , and subsequently our 200m walk to the peak of Mt Sunday - home to King Theoden's (golden) hall. (Yes, apparently gold leaf was used in crafting the temporary set). Attempts were made by my fellow travellers to wield The Sword, but I contented myself with carrying Sting back from the summit to our vehicle parked at the base. It did not glow blue - to my relief. Helm's Deep was identified, across the plain/'river'; and the snow retreating from the mountain caps. Yes!

There was a disconnection between the booking staff and the tour guide. The lunch was previously booked. But the tour guide was not informed.
