New Zealand's only Open Top Double Decker City Tour!

Open Top outside Art GalleryJoin us on our classic 1960’s London Open Top Double Decker buses for a fun and informative Tour of Christchurch. Learn about Christchurch’s fascinating history from the pioneering days through to modern day times and learn how Christchurch is recovering from the devastating February 22 earthquake which has now become a major event in New Zealand’s history.
