Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Learning About Christchurch and the flavors of the town was an experience not to be missed. We were so happy that we participated in this experience on the first day of our trip as it helped us make informed choices during the rest of the trip. That helped us enjoy our time in Christchurch more that we would have. Denise’s knowledge and experiences that she passed on us enhanced our own experience. Denise herself is an amazing person with an amazing background. A person can read about a place but not truly understand. Until you hear about it through the experiences from a person who has lived it and has the unique understanding to explain and introduce it in a manner in which Denise brings Christchurch past and present alive. All while being introduced to some of the flavors that have been brought and adopted by the area."
"I could not have asked for more! Keryn knew all the best spots for local coffee and cuisine and she was able to add on a little extra driving tour. The food, the places and people were just incredible. Mahalo Mui Nui🤙🏻"
"Keryn reached out to me before our arrival to check our preferences and if we had any restrictions. She is very personable, warm and gracious, going out of her way to not only give us a great foodie tour, but also a tour of Christchurch. It was well-planned and organized, and she was ready for small changes as we needed to move our meeting place due to construction barricades. She also gave us wonderful suggestions for other things to do in and around the city. Everything we ate was quintessential New Zealand, and Christchurch, and absolutely delicious!"

"Keryn provided an informative and yummy day. We really enjoyed her company."
"Our food experience with keryn could not have been better! It was the perfect way to kick off our two days in Christchurch. She tailored the tour to our interests and hunger level, was delightful to be with, and had recommendations about Christchurch and our campervan itinerary on the South Island. We can’t recommend her highly enough! "
"Keryn is one of those people who immediately seems like you’ve known her for years. Friendly, fun, and full of stories, she has lived in the area most of her life and is full of information about nearly everything. Our time with her flew by, and we were left wanting more!"
"We very much enjoyed our tasting tour of the city with Keryn. We sampled local delicacies at the Riverside Market before hitting a hidden gem for craft beer and then finished off with a memorable flight of local wines and cheeses on the former campus Canterbury College. In addition to sourcing some delicious food and drinks, Keryn shared her knowledge of the city and stories from her own travels, culinary and otherwise. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to explore the flavours of Christchurch."
