The Christchurch tram system with hop on hop off options it’s an excellent way to see the downtown area of the city. The drivers were all very knowledgeable and friendly. Enjoyed this tour. We also purchased along with that ticket the Avon by punting. This is a slow boat of a gentleman paddling down the waterway near the botanical gardens. Restful and peaceful. Enjoy the day in Christ church.

This was a unique experience. I enjoyed it thoroughly. The hop on and off feature of the tram was perfect. The punting was relaxing. You can make an entire day hopping on and off the tram at different spots checking things out. Perfect way to scope out some of the city sites
