        Must book tour
        Pete was absolutely fantastic. We booked this on a whim and lucked out. Highly recommend booking with this small, family owned business. Pete personally took us thru Christchurch, showed us all the highlights, but more importantly, allowed us the insight to the people, culture, and the heart of what makes New Zealand, really New Zealand, the people. I recommend taking the time to stop at the art school and let Pete show you this as well. Way to go Pete! You forever left an impression with me.

        Super Star Endeavour is the only way to explore NZ
        One of the best tour and travel organisers Have been to many countries but touring NZ with Endeavour was magical Pete and John are amazing at what they do Very personal and super organised They were super patient even with all our million questions We had a few wanderers in the group and Pete and John were never fazed no matter what New Zealand itself is simply stunning but exploring this gorgeous country with these super stars is sonetjing everyone needs to experience

        All Aboard This Tour!
        In the beginning we were Ride the Rail strangers but at the end of our 7 days together, we morphed into friends and a tour family. For mum and I, our 27th tour group was a “wealth of warmth” especially with our tour guides Pete and John- nothing was too much trouble and there was a real genuineness in helping us learn more about NZ and consideration for our needs. Too many highlights to note but our tour covered a well-planned and researched schedule of recommended hotels, eateries and activities we could all experience or try out. We also felt there was no rush to enjoy what we wanted like shopping, sight-seeing and having time to ourselves. Endeavour NZ tours provides an extra-mile, personal and hospitable service. We were recommended to try it and now recommend it to others- it will be worth the memories and the appreciation of such a majestic country we live in- which we so often take for granted.

        Exceptional Southern Tour
        The Taste of the South Tour was exceptional. We started in Dunedin, and drove the southern scenic route through the Catlins to Bluff, then through Riverton and Tuatapere through to Te Anau, a Doubtful Sound cruise, and then through to Arrowtown and Kinross. The scenery was stunning, the accomodation was very comfortable, and our wonderful host, Pete, provided a delightful commentary, plenty of photo opportunities, and made sure everything was taken care of. Museum visits, some food and wine tastings and a few group dinners were all included. I would be keen to do this tour again.

      We would recommend booking this tour. We give a special thank you to the tour company for not canceling as we were the only two people signed up on the day of our tour. We had a wonderful time with our tour guide, Pete. He is very knowledgeable about Christchurch and New Zealand. He had a good itinerary for seeing the city. We rode the tram and gondola, which provided views of the city and surrounding area. We went punting on the Avon, which we didn't google, so it was a nice experience. Lunch was at a restaurant in the botanical garden (with a good selection of tapas and salad).

      Thank you Dianna for a wonderful tour exploring Christchurch. We appreciated the personal approach you took to share the best parts and your love of this city. The tour was informative, covered wide range of experiences and we left feeling as though we were family, not tourist. Worthwhile investment. Loved this tour.

      Really interesting way to see the highlights of Christchurch on an old-fashioned tram. The guide was good and gave useful information. It's hop on, hop off so you can get to see a lot of different places on one ticket.
      With the building work being done in the cathedral square, it is a bit more difficult to find the tram stop.
      There are two interlined routes and the trams finish relatively early in the afternoon.

      Thank you so much for your lovely review. I sincerely apologise you found it difficult finding the tram stop in the square but pleased to hear you found it. Interesting to hear about them finishing early as usually the last tram will finish around 1830 so I will look in to what happened there. I hope the remainder of your holiday in New Zealand went well. Best wishes Pete

      We didn't actually go with Pete and his team but just wanted to record the excellent professionalism that we faced with Pete. He went to a great extent to customise the tour for us including a tram dinner and other things as we liked. Unfortunately my wife wasn't well and we bailed out almost at the last moment but Pete waived everything and cancelled the trip, no questions asked. He is a thorough professional and a great guy. Not sure why there isn't many reviews here, but in my opinion he is one of the best to explore the city and it's surroundings.

      This was a perfect tour for me as a solo traveler on holiday. Peter was a fantastic guide and we did everything on the description but he went above and beyond. It was only myself and one other person so I felt like we had a VIP tour. I believe they cap it at 10 people so you will always feel like you are getting personal service and can easily ask questions and make the tour work for you. If you want to get a good overview of Christchurch and sit back and not have to do any planning, this is well worth it. Can’t recommend enough.

      Small group with personalised commentary. Diann was amazing with her knowledge and could not be more accommodating. We learned so much about Christchurch, history and current. Lots more to experience and see that’s not listed in the description. Would 100% recommend this tour, it was excellent.

      Pete was fantastic! His knowledge of the local area and outging personality truly made this tour memorable. We arrived on a cruise ship and this tour offered the perfect opportunity to see the local area. Pete will meet you in Lyttleton which is where the ships dock. This tour was perfect for the limited time we had in port. Highly recommended!

      We had one day in Christchurch and this was the best way to see/learn/do the city. Pete was an amazing guide/host. We started with a cup of coffee and then hopped in his van for a tour around. Hitting all the highlights and then some. Among the things included was Punting on the Avon (a must), the hop on/hop off trolley and the gondola. We hit the beach as well as saw the area that used to be a suburb but was completely razed after the big earthquake in 2011. Stopped at a very cool food hall for lunch and learned about the history of the building. We're so glad we found this tour! Whether you have one day or several in Christchurch take this tour!

      A great tour of Christchurch in a comfortable van with a very guide, Pete. Experiencing punting on the river, the tram and the gondola. A very tasty and relaxing tapas lunch. Great way to hear the history of Christchurch thanks Pete we had a great time.

      It’s a great tour for first timer visitor in Christchurch. Our guide, Pete was really friendly. We had a great insight of the city. We also have a lovely lunch. And my little ones really love the gondola ride at the end of the tour.
