Had the absolute best day with Di... She was a lifetime local and had so many great stories and was so engaging and personable. The morning tour of the city with just two other people was beautiful and Christchurch is at the top of our list to come back and discover... One day off the cruise ship wasn't enough! After the morning, we picked up more people and headed to the wine tastings. The small group we had from around the world became fast friends. We had such an amazing afternoon of wine tasting, beautiful views and friendly people. We didn't want it to end! Thanks for the great day!

This tour was wonderful, our tour guide Joseph picked us up at the port of Lyttleton and drove us over the pass to Christchurch then to the Waipara valley. We visited small family owned vineyards for our tastings and lunch. The lunch was creative and delicious.

We had a great time with Andrew. He gave us a tour of coasiyfrom Littleton to Christchurch. We also toured Christchurch with history of the region. He is very proud of his home region and that makes for a wonderful tour. The wineries were also fun. After the first wine tasting room everyone loosened up and we had a great time at the other two. This is definitely a good tour when you visit this area.

If I were you reading this review, I would seriously reconsider other options for a tour provider and find any agency to organise my tour other than "Leisure Tours", unless you want to risk your day being ruined. We were unable to hop on the bus due to out-of-control delays in disembarking the cruise; so I can't comment on the tour itself. However, more important than the tour and sightseeing is customer care. We were literally left behind in the middle of nowhere, despite having our friends on the bus begging the tour guide to wait or get in touch with us as we were experiencing delays disembarking the cruise. We tried everything to get hold of the guide or a customer care representative to find alternative ways to join the tour or get some options on whether we can get on an alternative tour to profit from the only one day we are spending in Christchurch. Our family included 2 adults and 2 kids, aged 8 years and 3 years; imagine how horrible it was for us to run from one bus to another and ask every person around for our tour bus without getting any direction or response from the customer service, who decided to just leave the meeting location after waiting for some time (which is understandable) BUT without even trying to get in contact with us to ask our whereabouts or give us any alternative option (that is horrible!!) I appreciate that they waited and had to leave; however, what annoyed me was their lack of responsibility, their negligence and their ignorance of the basic fundamentals of running a tourism agency. On top of all the frustration they caused, they have even refused a refund (a total of $460), and not even offered a partial refund. Certainly, I don't recommend this agency; we bumped into another family who was also left behind in Christchurch. This family was also supposed to join "Leisure Tours" group for a different tour to ours. The whole experience was so disappointing! I will definitely stay away from and not recommend "Leisure Tours" in any of their destinations as customer care is core to any business, and they don't seem to know this principle.
