Willowbank was excellent. If you liked it, make sure you go to Orana Wildlife Park as well. Lyttleton Harbour is nice, but it can get rough out there. The gondola, tram, and Antartica Centre were great!

The tour is great but it was raining this day. This tour its a good trip for discovering Christchurch's activities. Well recommend it for somebody who come for the first time in Christchurch.

The whole trip is good, but we didn't see the dolphins on the cruise.

There was three days' worth of scenery and history covered in a single day.

Due to the weather we had to do some of the activities on different days, but thoroughly enjoyed them all.

Due to a chance in the cruise ship's schedule, we were only able to see four out of the five. However, the tour operator went out of its way to do what they could to see what we did.

My only complaint was that the bus that was supposed to turn up from Willowbank to take us through to connect to the Wildlife Cruise didn't show up. This rushed us and delayed the cruise.

Overall it was an efficient way to do many activities in a short time. However, we were dropped at the Antarctic Center where we had to fend for ourselves because the center's staff didn't seem to be familiar with the vouchers we had. This meant standing in a long line unnecessarily. The captain of the harbor ship tour really worked hard at being positive about seeing dolphins, which eventually we did. To include the tram ride in the big five was something of a ripoff.

Unfortunately for us, the harbor cruise was cancelled.

It should be a combined tour in one coach with all the tourists. Time given at Antarctica should not be more than 40 minutes.

The staff were rushed, disorganised and rude. I would not recommend it.
