She made the city come alive for us, and the food was tremendous that she ordered. What a treat to have her as our guide & to see Christchurch through her eyes. Couldn't have asked for a better tour.”

3.Guided Crater Rim Walk with Coastal Scenery

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 56 reviews · 4 - 6 hours · from $140

Review of Christchurch’s guided Godley Head Crater Rim Walk, with coastal views, WWII sites, picnic lunch, transport, and practical tips.

“Our hosts for the Crater Rim walk were most kind and hospitable. They provided walking sticks, backpacks and water bottles plus a lovely lunch picnic by the water. We had a lovely day and quite a walk. Be sure that you prepare yourself for walking ten miles. Another tip is put on sunscreen because you will be outside for four to six hours. This is a family owned and operated business, and they provide a wonderful introduction to the beauty of New Zealand. Don't miss this opportunity to get away from all that cruise ship food and enjoy some exercise and convivial conversation.”
