A wonderful way to explore Inner Christchurch.

My friend and I are pensioners for whom walking any distance is not easy. We really enjoyed our day on the ChCh trams.We were able to do the whole inner city loop...enjoying the sites of unseen new developments with commentaries from knowledgeable tram drivers...then circle again hopping off to spend time exploring city highlights eg the new library, the Margaret Mary playground, the Riverside markets, New Regent Street eateries,upmarket shops.

We really enjoyed the conductor and drivers friendliness and description of the highlights. It was a good way to see the central city area and stops were convenient for the things we wanted to see. I heartily endorse this as a first attraction when coming to the city to orientate you.

Tour of city centre Christchurch

, Feb 2020
This was a nice way to view Christchurch and get information about it. First we sat on for the whole trip round and then decided what we wanted to do first. Our first stop was to hop off at the Botanic Gardens and hop back on after. We then hopped off at the Spanish inspired buildings for shopping and food.
