Great way to see a large area

missy, Mar 2025

Was a great day seeing all the sites all the way to Akora, lunch stop was super quaint and the 2 girls leading the tour were informative and engaging. The roads are very narrow and windey but our guide did an amazing job navigating them

Response from Host, Mar 2025

Good Morning, Missy. I'm so glad you enjoyed your tour out to Akaroa. Ill pass your comments on to your guide/s Gemma and Michelle.

Great for scenery.

This is a great trip for seeing the countryside and scenery. Our guide was born and raised in Christchurch and used to visit the area with her father, so she knows it well. We stopped at a cheese shop where we watched curds being separated - that was interesting. Akaroa is a small village with a few shops and eateries. Quaint if that's what your interest is. Altogether a nice day and tour.
