Stops:
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.
Great and clear explanations and commentary...
I happened to ride the last bus with my wife and there's no more passengers. We were about to get off in the midway and told so to the driver. The driver explained ceaslessly, to us foreigners, about the streets till the last moment we got off. I was really impressed by his suncerety and proud to his job.
Only a few stops, not really worth the money if we would have paid full price. Driver however was very informative. Intervals of one hour are too long. Probably better to use the tram.

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.
