Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

A huge thank you to Mike for an amazing family day out. We cruised around Christchurch in his luxury vehicle, then headed off to Sumner Beach where Mike had booked us in for lunch at a Cafe on the Beach. Great experience, Great times. Then went through Littleton, went on the gondola and finished off go-karting which Mike had organised for us. Mike is very knowledgeable, likeable, with a great sense of humour.
Nothing was too much for Mike - he organised everything and goes the extra mile.
Thanks again Mike - from the Larkan Family - (Grand Suites - Lake Tekapo)

If you want a professional driver who knows and understands the area of Christchurch and the surrounding towns, I absolutely would endorse and highly recommend Mike Halliday and Chauffeur NZ. My husband and I came from the United States to New Zealand via a cruise. Mike met us promptly and per my request drove us to Akaroa (a wonderful resort town) where my husband went swimming with the dolphins and I visited The Giants House and shopped. Mike talked about the area we were visiting while driving, and answered all our questions about New Zealand. After we dropped my husband off for his tour, Mike was like my "personal bodyguard" while I shopped. I felt totally safe and Mike knew the area which helped me in selecting different shops. For both my husband and I, Mike helped make our trip to New Zealand perfect. Do yourself a favor, and hire this company; it will enhance your experience! It was worth every penny!

Hello Susan and Pat.
This was one of my memorable trip with some fantastic people from the other side of the word and the opportunity to show case this amazing little town "Akaroa" at the bottom of the world.
I hope to see you again in NZ where we can go for another adventure soon.
All the best and thank you for your kind words,
Mike

Mike was such a wonderful and friendly driver! He made sure that all of us were comfortable and warm in the car before we headed out on our roadtrip from Christchurch to Queenstown. As we had requested to reach in time to pick up our ski gears, he still made sure that we got there in time without missing all the beautiful photo stops. Definitely one of the best drivers that would go over and beyond!

Hello,
Yes that was an exciting trip but we made it work with picking up the ski gear, negotiating the Queenstown road works. Thank you for your kind words and the opportunity to let and spend time with your lovely family.
Stay safe for all your journeys.
Kind regards.

Mike was extremely accommodating throughout this whole process. He took to us to see the whales, seals, and crayfish of Kaikoura.
If you're in Canterbury and need assistance with transportation, reach out to him.
Thanks Mike!

Thank you Khalid for the opportunity to spend the day with you and your wife for a days hire from Christchurch to Kaikoura Whale watch.
The little extras mean a lot such as the visit to the Kaikoura BBQ caravan on the side of the road for Crayfish and then your walk to the seal colony, what a day.
Leaving Christchurch in the dark and arriving back in Christchurch in the dark.
I hope you enjoyed your special we gift of Whittakers chocolate, your favourite.
I hope to see you both again and thank you to the Mayfair Hotel Christchurch for putting us in contact.
Safe journeys,

The Sudima Hotel in Christchurch City centre (also excellent) organised a tour with Mike at ChauffeurNZ at short notice for the afternoon we were in Christchurch. Mike was prompt, friendly and helpful. He took us around Christchurch and over to Lyttleton for a couple of hours. We would definitely use ChauffeurNZ again when in Christchurch.

It was an absolute pleasure to deal with Mike on our wedding day. He has the warmest personality, great driving skills and attention to details. The car was super comfortable and impeccably clean.
Special thanks for taking care of my parents who don't speak English.
Highly recommend!

We went to Hanmer Springs in New Zealand for snow adventure last July 29. We had contracted ChauffeurNZ for our transport. For a first timer in New Zealand it was indeed a great choice having Mike as our chauffeur who went an extra mile to give us a tour and even do a short stopover to take some pictures of the best scenaries we had on the way to Hanmer.
We've encountered heavy snow fall and closed roads on our return date to the airport but Mike was so carring to update us of the news and informed us what could possibly be done. I have to extend my stay in Hanmer and rebook my flight. After informing Mike of the changes he professionally check his engagement and reschedule our return trip. This could have been a nightmare but with Mike's assistance we manage to enjoy our stay in Hanmer Springs.
Thanks Mike and keep up your high standard of service. Cheers.

Hello Vince and family,
Wow what a great time we all had, and you got to play in the snow. That extra day at Hanmer Springs gave you and your family from Singapore the time of your lives.
How to see you again soon.

Mike went out of his way to help our boys have fun and get to Their destination safely. He was very thoughtful and considered things by helping them get breakfast and lunch along the way. So appreciate the extra effort looking after our boys. It’s nice as a parent to know there is someone there thinking about the little things. Thanks Mike.

We had an awesome time with Mike on our tour from Christchurch to Queenstown. It was smooth sailing from the planning stage to the road trip itself as Mike is dependable, professional and very prompt with his replies. Mike made sure that we were well taken care of and made stops along the way for us to capture the majestic and breathtaking views on our cameras. The time went by too quickly as we had an enjoyable time. Thank you, Mike, for the exceptional service, patience and memorable trip,

Hello to the Lim family from Singapore. Yes it was my first trip for 2 years because of Covid and it was great to be taking this breath taking journey from Christchurch to Queenstown.
The snow on the mountains and the Famous Fairlie bakery pies.
All you really wanted to touch was snow and the next few days in Queenstown it happened.
Again I would like to thank you for this special day and again on the 17 June when you rebooked me for a day trip from Christchurch to Akaroa and the Akaroa Dolphin cruise.
Thanks you very much again.
