Christchurch Tours and Trips

It was a nice balance of travel and exploration, having a couple of days in Franz Josef Glacier and Queenstown was fabulous while also exploring lots of Te Waipounamu. Our guide was really passionate about Aotearoa New Zealand and shared her love beautifully. She also managed all our free time add-on activities so smoothly. The coach was comfortable, clean, and expertly driven on some wild roads! The accommodation was clean and well located, though a kettle would have been nice in Queenstown lol.

The trip was amazing! Our trip manager and driver did such an amazing job at making sure everything ran smoothly and that everyone got a chance to do everything they wanted!

Amazing trip managed, bus driver had such a great attitude and was great when things went wrong. Beautiful tour, so many fun activities to do, and so many lifelong friends made!

I appreciated the inclusion of the indigenous tour guides throughout the tour. It helped me to better understand the many contributions they made to the the history of Australia and New Zealand. I was impressed on how the government has valued the culture of these indigenous people by collaborating their beliefs into the many buildings, parks, and politics of the cities. I also enjoyed the host dinner I attended. Margaret was an awesome hostess. She shared her home grown vegetables as well as used the apples from her tree to make a delicious apple dessert that made me appreciate the time she put into make our visit special. We shared a lively conversation about many things throughout the evening. It's these experiences that I will remember most of all.

Fantastic tour, we enjoyed everything. Would definitely recommend it if you don't want the hassle of driving yourself. All the hotels were clean and comfortable and it was good that breakfast and several evening meals were included We visited so many amazing places and saw spectacular scenery everywhere. We didn't do many of the optional activities as so much was included already but I really enjoyed the jet boat trip on the Haast River.

What a wonderful trip! Gorgeous scenery, good food, Maori culture, Lord of the Rings opportunities, wildlife, and great travel director and driver. The locations chosen offered a nice variety to see different parts of both the north and south islands, learn about the agriculture and farming, as well as the history of the country.
