This is a Private Tour. We can take up to 11 passengers and as locals have been proudly showing visitors Christchurch and the South Island for over 25 years (see "E S Tours" Trip Advisor Reviews). We like to think our tours are small, friendly, informative and we look for the interesting back roads to travel away from most tour destinations and itineraries.
Visit the last cheese factory on Banks Peninsula....where a variety of award-winning cheeses are produced every second day by hand. Sample some of the product and find out about the back-breaking process. The shop here has local food products such as olive oil and wine.
One of the many historic buildings in the old French village of Akaroa. A stroll through the historic village is relaxing and delightful as is a walk on the old wharf. Option of lunch (you buy) at Bully Hayes (nice NZ blue cod) or a cafe.
Option : This museum is free at present and includes the oldest house in Akaroa, a very French looking cottage from 1843 along with a concise look at Maori / whaling /French history in a small, well presented country museum.
You will make your own way to the meeting points
