4/5 - Good

The tram tour was extremely informative and, in places, amusing. The tram drivers are all really keen to get their passengers involved with the regeneration of the city centre.

Christchurch is trying hard to come back after the earthquake. Lots of construction going on but there were activities around and a bout to see.
4/5 - Good

The views from the gondola are stunning. Also went to the Antarctic centre - well worth doing for adults and children - you get to ride over an assault course in Antarctic tracked vehicle

Why are they not repairing the old buildings since the earthquake
