    Very easy to book online, we were able to collect the tickets on arrival in Christchurch. Trams run a figure of eight around the city centre and take in the majority of sites to see. The driver was very friendly and knowledgeable, outlining the history of the area and relevant places to visit. Well worth doing a complete circuit if time allows and then return to your favourites. Definitely recommend it to get the most out of your trip.

    This was great fun. A quirky ride around Christchurch, allowing you to see all the right places and decide how to spend the rest of the day. I went shopping and my husband went to the Botanic Gardens. When we met up, we hopped on the tram again to get back to Cathedral Square. The guides were very knowledgeable and it was really a fun hour in the city.
