    Review about Keryn

    "Our guide (Keryn) in Christchurch was absolutely wonderful! She was incredibly friendly and chatty, making the tour feel personal and engaging. Not only was her knowledge excellent, but she went above and beyond by helping us plan a perfect itinerary for the rest of our afternoon after we parted ways. Her recommendations were spot-on and really enhanced our visit. Highly recommend her for a fantastic and insightful guide around CC. "

    Outstanding customized tour by Keryn

    "Keryn gave us an outstanding half day tour of Christchurch. She keyed into our interest in architecture and city planning and gave us great insight about the history of the area and the impacts of the earthquakes on life & rebuilding of the city/area. She also gave us great recommendations for places to eat lunch and visit after our time with her - places we would not have found in our we wished we could have spent more time in Christchurch to continue enjoying her suggestions. We highly recommend this tour and particularly Keryn as your tour guide."

    Understand Christchurch unique guide

    "Learning About Christchurch and the flavors of the town was an experience not to be missed. We were so happy that we participated in this experience on the first day of our trip as it helped us make informed choices during the rest of the trip. That helped us enjoy our time in Christchurch more that we would have. Denise’s knowledge and experiences that she passed on us enhanced our own experience. Denise herself is an amazing person with an amazing background. A person can read about a place but not truly understand. Until you hear about it through the experiences from a person who has lived it and has the unique understanding to explain and introduce it in a manner in which Denise brings Christchurch past and present alive. All while being introduced to some of the flavors that have been brought and adopted by the area."

    Keryn is a top notch guide!

    "My friend and I enjoyed our three hour guided walk with Keryn through Christchurch. Her timing was exceptional and she spoke with reverence and excitement about the places we visited. We can highly recommend Keryn as a guide for individuals who are perhaps enjoying Christchurch for the first time or for another more in-depth tour than they’ve experienced in the past. We learned a lot. We enjoyed a lot and we are grateful that we chose Keryn for our guide."

    A city in transition

    "Keryn was a joy to spend time with. Her knowledge of Christchurch is very impressive. We learnt lots of historical information, enjoyed storytelling and heard fun facts. Keryn has a real passion for her home city which translates to her guiding experience. Thank you Keryn. When we return we'll be contacting you again."
