Excellent day trip

Published on Feb, 2025

Simon was a terrific guide and excellent host. He gave us a detailed guide to the main city areas and I would definitely recommend him if you ever visit Christchurch.

Christchurch, the red zone, crater look out, Sumner, Canterbury University, Botanical Gardens with lots of insights.

Absolutely outstanding tour and day. This tour was private, intimate and fun with a great group of newbies from the Crown Princess. The weather was amazing as was the day. Well done Simon

Fantastic day in Christchurch

Published on Feb, 2025

Our second day in New Zealand was to Christchurch, and I have to say, this is one of the most beautiful stops on our journey. Our tour guide, Simon, from Green Kiwi Tours, gave us the royal treatment. From stunning views of the harbor and surrounding areas, to the carefully manicured botanical gardens, we were delighted with each stop. Simon was quick to adapt to our wants and needs and took us to a vibrant downtown market where we feasted on meat pies and chips for lunch. We capped off our journey by punting along the Avon river, a relaxing boat ride accompanied by a tour guide who guided us up and down the river, using a long pole, Venetian style. I highly recommend Green Kiwi Tours and Simon, the master tour guide! You won’t be disappointed.

Simon was a wonderful guide. He gave us a thorough overview of Christchurch and the surrounding area and a ton of information about the places that we visited. We really enjoyed our time!

Highly recommend!

My entire group of six adults thoroughly enjoyed our tour of Christchurch with Simon. His love and knowledge of Christchurch and the surrounding area was obvious. We saw beautiful scenery, incredible views, learned a lot about the 2011 earthquake and its impact on Christchurch, and even got a quick and fun lesson on Māori culture. Simon was easy to communicate with and responsive from booking to pickup. He was even able to adjust our tour on the fly to accommodate some last-minute shopping we wanted to do. I highly recommend this tour and Simon as a tour guide.
