Description

We begin our journey below the iconic Bridge of Remembrance, Cashel Street, Christchurch Central City, Christchurch 8011 - right on the corner of Oxford Terrace and Cashel Street. Look out for your guide holding a purple umbrella ☂️ – that’s where your adventure starts.


This relaxed 1.75 / 2 hour walking tour takes you through the heart of Christchurch, with plenty of stops along the way. Together, we’ll explore the city’s fascinating mix of geological and human history, from the stories of Ngāi Tahu Māori to the early English settlers who helped shape Canterbury.

As we walk, you’ll discover not only Christchurch’s past, but also its present energy and its future potential. This tour offers a unique perspective on why Christchurch and Canterbury are so well placed to thrive in the years ahead.
