    可惜没有中文解说

    本来应该是坐双层车的,但是由于当天双层车去保养了,因此换成了大巴。旅游公司对此表示歉意,因此特地给每位游客一张一年有效期的券,凭此券在一年内可以免费再游玩一次,这点还是挺让人舒服的。一个小时的车程对于基督城来说应该是够了,只是车上没有象其它国家那样的中文自助讲解,所以很多内容还是没有听懂,略有一些遗憾。

    Kia Ora Xiaopeng Li and thank you for your honest review of our Soaring Kiwi sightseeing tour. We appreciate your feedback and are sorry we could not provide the double decker bus on the day of your visit. We are glad you received your voucher to visit again another time and hope to see you back then. We are currently working on a pre-recorded chinese commentary which we hope will be available within a few months time. Thank you for taking the time to post a review. We hope you left with some wonderful memories of your stay in Canterbury and look forward to welcoming you back again in the future! Warm regards, from all our team here at Hassle-free Tours. :)

    把整个基督城最核心的景点都呈现眼前

    观光游览巴士围绕着基督城走了一圈,司机全程都十分负责地进行每个景点的讲解,而且在著名的景点前都会停留几分钟让大家拍照留念,巴士观光令人能更深刻了解基督城,是人文和景点都很好的一个美丽城市!赞!推荐大家花一小时乘坐巴士观光!

    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.

    Good tour

    Driver/Host was great and very informative. However, no specific timings forbwhen the bus will arrive and we ended up waiting for an hour for the bus.
