    Sehr informativ

    Der Hop-on/Hop-off-Bus bietet eine großartige Gelegenheit, innerhalb einer knappen Stunde einen Überblick über die wichtigsten Sehenswürdigkeiten Christchurchs zu erlangen.

    Bustour

    War sehr gut und live kommentiert. Für alle die kein Englisch sprechen sehr schade. Wäre gut wenn die Busse öfter fahren und nicht nur alle Stunde. Dann würde man vielleicht auch an manchen Stationen etwas außerhalb des Stadtzentrums aussteigen.

    Kia Ora Birgit, Thank you for your honest review of our Soaring Kiwi tour of Christchurch. We would love to have more buses going around more frequently too, though unfortunately Christchurch is a little too quiet at the moment for us to manage it. We are glad to hear that you still had a great time though, and hope you got some great photos from up on the top floor. Kind regards, the Soaring Kiwi team :)

    Lohnenswert!

    Wir haben die Bustour für 11Euro statt 35Euro ergattert. Dafür war es super! Man hat super viel Interessantes zum Thema Erdbeben erfahren und wurde einmal komplett durch die Stadt gefahren. Die 3 goldigen Opis, die das ganze geleitet haben waren super sympathisch! Auf jeden Fall sehr empfehlenswert auch wenn man den vollen Preis bezahlt:)

    Christchurch City Tour

    Great way to see the Christchurch City sights especially sitting on the top deck. We enjoyed it so much we went around twice. The drivers both times were very informative.
