Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Keryn gave us a wonderful tour of Christchurch - we got the essential history and then a wonderful food tour "
"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. "
"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."
"Keryn was delightful to spend 2 hours with and very knowledgeable about Christchurch and the events of 2011 She gave a locals view in a very fair and balanced way and gave a very good balance of detail and interesting facts We learned tremendous amount in 2 hours"
"Keryn is a lovely tour guide, with interesting insights and stories about her beloved Christchurch. We were able to see a lot and learn even more given her down to earth, great communication skills. Highly recommend. "
"Loved our tour with Keryn. Knows the city of Christchurch really well and is very knowledgeable."
"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."
"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."
"Gaby was wonderful - knowledgeable, engaging and a joy to share the afternoon with. He offered an insiders perspective to one of the most difficult periods in Christchurch’s history and the impact that it has had on the rebuilding of the city. It was a remarkably enlightening experience. "
"My husband and I were in Christchurch for only one day and wanted to gain as much knowledge and insight to the city as possible - and Keryn was the perfect guide for us. She was engaging, informative and really tailored the narrative to our interests and questions. The route that she takes through the city provides a diverse perspective of Christchurch and is also a lovely stroll around the city. She also provided other recommendations for our time in Christchurch and in New Zealand and they greatly enhanced our visit as well. This tour is exactly the personalized experience that allows you to explore and appreciate a city like Christchurch!! "
