Advantages: Authentic
Disadvantages: Can be busy in peak season
I can't remember a great deal about this tour as I took it almost 5 years ago, but it was a wonderful way to see the sights of Christchurch and the staff running the tour were dressed in old costumes adding to the authenticity of the journey. The stops are at all of the main sights in Christchurch (which is fairly compact and doesn't take long to get around) but it is the ideal way to see everything of interest if you are only spending a day there, as I was. The scenery is really pleasant, especially by the River Avon and there is a commentary too so you are not just guessing where you are going. I recall it was relatively cheap and the stops were frequent with not long to wait until the next tram came along. I would definitely recommend seeing Christchurch this way, even if you are spending a week there. You'll definitely learn something new on this journey and see the city from a new perspective.
Summary: You will learn something new about Christchurch
