Explore Christchurch's must-see central city sights and spectacular views on this guided drive. You will see areas affected by the Canterbury earthquakes and learn about the rebuild underway in Christchurch. Informative and entertaining commentary from your friendly local guide enhances the drive.
Along the way, spend time wandering through the stunning Mona Vale Gardens. The gardens offer a serene retreat where landscaped gardens intertwine with historical charm. It’s the perfect place to take photos of beautiful flora and fauna.
Next, board an open-air double-decker bus (weather permitting) for a fun and breezy tour of Christchurch. You'll discover why Christchurch is known as "the Garden City" and is considered one of the most English-style cities outside of England. You’ll also learn about Christchurch's fascinating history from pioneering days through modern times.
Then, from Sign of the Takahe – a century-old Gothic/Tudor baronial castle-like waypoint for hikers in the Port Hills – survey the sweeping views of the city, surrounding plains, mountains and ocean before returning to Lyttelton.
