Christchurch City Highlights with Punting - Highly recommended for Cruise Passengers who wants to see Christchurch, NZ. Shuttle bus only goes to Lyttelton. The tour is very informative and Nicole our guide/driver is very helpful and very accommodating. She shows us all the attractions at Christchurch and the highlight of the tour is the 30 minutes Punting at the Avon River. A very relaxing boat ride with gondoliers pushing the boat like in Venice..

Christchurch tour January 14/26 - What a delightful tour with our friends, guided by a very competent and detail oriented guide named Heidi. We enjoyed it immensely. A highlight was the drive up to Sign of the Kiwi Cafe and hike up to the views of Lyttelton harbour and Christchurch. Another highlight was hearing the history of Christchurch, the earthquakes and more, much more. Punting was a relaxing conclusion to the day !
