Enjoy memorable experiences on these informative tours
The Canterbury region on the South Island of New Zealand is renowned for its scenic beauty and adventure-rich lifestyle, which is why Hassle-Free Tours founders Mark and Nikki Gilbert set up shop in this part of the South Island. They’ve since been operating fun-filled tours in this spectacular region, welcoming all ages and group sizes.
On the city tour, you can enjoy a memorable tour experience discovering Christchurch from the top deck of a 1960s restored double-decker bus. You’ll witness more than just spectacular scenery. You’ll also hear about the city’s fascinating history as the friendly local guides provide informative, entertaining commentary throughout your journey. In addition, you’ll learn about the local fauna, flora and wildlife.
