A cheap and fun way to see Christchurch. The entire circuit takes about 50 minutes, but there are plenty of place to get on and off. Also you can get a running commentary from the driver. The trams are lovely - there are at least three- each different from the last.

A must do, very interesting and great way to see the city for future visits and exploring, trams go everyn20 odd minutes so terrific way to see things and novel as compared to a hop on hop off bus

A absolutely fantastic way to experience Christchurch, not long to wait before trams beautiful old machines still doing what they were designed to do all these decades later.

We did this trip on a Sunday, it was a nice say so plenty of people out and about. At no time was the tram to full to jump onto. We ended up looking at places we'd never been to, just observed before. The commentary was great, learning a bit more about the city we used to life in. It was a great way to get around, definetly reccomend.

Absolutely fantastic, the tram drivers provided detailed commentary on the history of Christchurch and the devastation caused by the earthquakes and the rebuilding of this amazing city. It is also a great way to get around the city allowing the ability to get off and on as desired. We would certainly travel on these very historic trams again, highly recommend it, it is a great way to see the city and its many historic buildings.

A great way to see the city, especially on a rainy day. Drivers were friendly and helpful. Lots of interesting information and laughs. Comfortable journey. A good way to get to the sites, places that interest you.

Wonderful informative way to see Christchurch central city. The ability to hop on and off to city activities as well as others ie shuttles to gondola. Really well organised and great value for money. We had at least 5 different historic trams on our day which adds to the whole experience.

This is excellent value. Hop on and off all day, take in all the Central City Christchurch has to offer in a fun and historical way. The guides are fabulous and you learn so much history as you travel. Book in advance and combine with a punt or ride on gondola. You can pay on the tram as well. A really pleasing way to get around town.

Hop-On and Hop-Off Tram was really nice experience; trams are on time at the locations; friendly staff and they explain everything to you.

The Tram provided a good sense of the city centre with interesting guidance from the driver. The ability to get on and off gave us a chance to explore parts on our own an dthen ease our feet onto another part of the CBD.
