We were welcomed by our first Tram Conductor cheerfully and he gave us friendly instructions on how to navigate tickets and tour process this was very helpful. In all we hopped on and off 4 trams all of which had extremely kind informative Conductors. It was awonderful way to see Christchurch Citys sights and beautiful gardens. We loved it.

Hi Joanna, It's fantastic to hear you enjoyed our garden city via the tram and really utilised your tickets by jumping on and off all day. Be sure to check out our Punting through the Botanical Gardens and the Gondola in the Heathcote Valley. Kind Regards

Hi Kaycie, Thanks for your feedback, we are extending the tram tracks which should be open sometime in early 2022. It's nice to hear you enjoyed the commentary. Once again, thanks for your feedback

Great conductors who were witty and knowledgeable. Online bookings and mobile tickets not quite as efficient as you would think though, especially in Covid times.

My friend and I are pensioners for whom walking any distance is not easy. We really enjoyed our day on the ChCh trams.We were able to do the whole inner city loop...enjoying the sites of unseen new developments with commentaries from knowledgeable tram drivers...then circle again hopping off to spend time exploring city highlights eg the new library, the Margaret Mary playground, the Riverside markets, New Regent Street eateries,upmarket shops.

We really enjoyed the conductor and drivers friendliness and description of the highlights. It was a good way to see the central city area and stops were convenient for the things we wanted to see. I heartily endorse this as a first attraction when coming to the city to orientate you.
