Is in total a 50 minute round trip where you can hop on and hop off as often as you like.
Trams come every 15 minutes.
Perfect way to see the main sights of city.
Our driver Baz was also an excellent guide and explained the city and sights with a lot of information and humour. He was so friendly to every single person, you could tell he loves what he is doing.

We have been living in Christchurch for many years but never ridden the tram until we had visitors. We all learnt so much about the city with the tram drivers commentary. Recommend this to all.
