The trip started off on the wrong foot. The guide was 45 minutes late. There was confusion about the meeting location. The tour itself was nice and we did enjoy what we saw. Unfortunately, when someone asked the guide a question, he didn’t hear the person. We were seated right behind him, on the bus, and he didn’t hear my husband ask questions. Then when it was time to end the tour, the guide thought we were on an all day tour. We told him that the tour was 3 1/2 hours and he needed to take us back to the ship. After much discussion, he left most of the visitors off and told them he’d be back, and took four of us back to our ships. All in all, the Guide was not organized and there was a lot of confusion. I will have second thoughts about referring this excursion to anyone.Scott was very knowledgeable and humorous. There were 3 drivers sick with Covid that day. So Scott also organized other tours and arranged who to go to which bus. He deserves a medal from the company. I highly recommend this tour for shore excursions when in Christchurch.

She was called upon due to 3 other staff sick with covid. She missed stopping at the beach. Did not explain what we were seeing and did not give us any timelines.

Dreadful weather in Christchurch for our visit with minor flooding in the city. There was confusion at the pick up point due to the port buses dropping us off a short walk from the pick up point and a lot of time was wasted waiting for people to arrive in the rain. The tour itself was very good but again there was confusion at the end and a lot of sitting in the bus waiting to be taken back to the ship. Organisation needs tweaking between the tour provider and port authority to get a better experience. But we still loved Christchurch.Fantastic operator. We were sorry when this tour finished. It was well worth the money to hear about the city and its surrounds post earthquakes to current times. It's a beautiful city and even though it was raining and we weren't able to get off the bus due to weather, the operator went far b...
Fantastic operator. We were sorry when this tour finished. It was well worth the money to hear about the city and its surrounds post earthquakes to current times. It's a beautiful city and even though it was raining and we weren't able to get off the bus due to weather, the operator went far beyond what we expected to see and hear on the tour.
