Reviews: Discover Christchurch Sightseeing Tour
Guest User2024-09-22
Fabulous tour. Aaron is very knowledgeable and obliging. We saw so much from sightseeing to the Weta Workshop. We stopped at a seaside restaurant where we could buy lunch which was an added bonus for me as I live so very far from the beach.★
