Reviews: Christchurch Hop-On Hop-Off Tram
Guest User2025-10-01
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.

Icebergs, pure clean lakes, freezing wild winds and getting wet as we traipsed to Tasman glacier. They provided poncho and umbrella and great commentary!
