What an AMAZING experience we had with Scottie from Leisure Tours! We Cruised into Christchurch on Ovation of the Seas and were picked up in a fully Aircon'd Coach. Scottie was super fun and knowledgable! We had a fantastic day and cannot recommend this tour highly enough! We saw so many sights and had plenty of time at each stop to take in the beauty and history that Christchurch had to offer!! Brilliant! Jet Boating topped it off, so much fun!

We had a fabulous guide in Joseph who kept us informed on everything that had happened during the Christchurch earthquake. The tour was enjoyable. Jet boating was absolutely fantastic. I had forgotten how exhilarating it can be. Where we were advised to go for lunch a fish and chip shop had my favourite, a whitebait butty. Can recommend this tour for anyone

We had the most amazing day with this tour. Scotty is a very informative and funny tour guide, I totally enjoyed his commentary and willingness to answer questions from the busload of tourists. A great tour with some great stops along the way. We took in some wonderful sights up on the mountain, enjoyed a walk through the gardens and a good couple of hours in Christchurch doing our own thing, which was unexpected, but an absolute blessing to be able to take in the city at our own pace. The Jet boating was absolutely thrilling. Our driver Paul, made sure we had the best time on the water. We got 'just wet enough' enjoyed a few laughs, some great scenery and learnt quite a bit about the river as well. A really fantastic way to enjoy Christchurch. Highly recommended.
