Scotty was a great tour guide. He was very knowledgeable about Christchurch, Dunedin and New Zealand in general. The tour of Christchurch was very worthwhile. It would have been better to have more time in the Museum rather than the drive around the Harbour. The last stop ( for "ice cream") is unnecessary.

A wonderful experience with Scotty showing us around and giving a very thorough explanation of any query we might have. He was extremely helpful and went out of his way to make sure that we saw everything. His throat would have been sore by the time he finished. He loved the area and passed this love on to us. Great trip!

I thought I had booked the excursion that included sheep shearing - so was really disappointed. The driver did try to hook us upwith thtat tour but they said they weren't shearing since the sheep were wet. when I told the shore excursion desk that they said their tour did see sheep shearing The hard part was it was rainy, the bus was fogged so could see little.
