Welcome Aboard the Christchurch Grand Tour, a great way to see some of Christchurch City’s 'must see' attractions and places of interest. Combining Punting on the Avon, Gondola, Tramways, Cathedral Square and the Cultural Precinct, Mona Vale and the Botanic Gardens into a guided day trip makes visiting Christchurch a breeze!

Our driver will take you from the centre city to the beautiful gardens at Mona Vale, an historic Christchurch homestead. You will then be treated to a tranquil punt ride through the Christchurch Botanic Gardens in one of our Edwardian punts. The next stop is the Christchurch Gondola, where you will be amazed by the 360 degree views that unfold as the gondola lifts you to 500 metres above sea level. At the Gondola top station you can visit the Time Tunnel ride, take a stroll on the Port Hills and soak up the magnificent views, before returning to your coach and visiting Lyttleton.

Your next stop is Sumner, the seaside town at the foot of the Port Hills, then we head back to the central city to ride on the beautifully restored Christchurch trams. The tram will take you to many points of interest in the city, and you can jump on and off at any time. The Museum, Art Gallery and Art Centre are on the tram circuit, as well as Cathedral Square, the Casino and New Regent Street.

We are now also offering pick up from Lyttelton Harbour for Cruise Ship Customers. Bookings are essential!!

"The Grand Tour is a first class product. A very comfortable coach and more
importantly a very knowledgeable, informative, humourous and friendly
driver/guide. If a tourist does nothing else other than this tour he/she will have a very good coverage of what Christchurch has to offer in it's activities, attractions, history and scenery. Congratulations!"
Joy Moore, Travel Consultant, Bay of Islands i-SITE

"I thought you would like to know how much we enjoyed your 'Grand Tour' despite the overcast sky that day (the rain luckily kept off). We found out so much more about Christchurch than we ever could have done on our own in such a short stay. Your driver was an excellent guide, friendly, informative and very helpful. It was excellent value and we were ever so pleased to have chosen to go on it."
Ron Smith from the UK, April 2009

"We visited Christchurch a few weeks ago as a stop on the Diamond Princess cruise and on recommendation took the Grand Tour including the Gondola ride, tram and punting and just wanted you to know how much we enjoyed the entire day. Our guide and driver, Dave and Garry were excellent and gave us a wonderful overview of beautiful Christchurch. Many thanks. "
Jerry and Lily Penso, Ottawa, Canada
