A wonderful heart warming experience. I had the pleasure of spending the morning with Cate’s lovely husband who is very passionate about their city “Christchurch” He told me all about the earthquake and how the city is rebuilding. He pointed out all the little details that only a local could know and took me to so many interesting places. It has made me want to come back again! Go ahead and book this tour you will not be disappointed. Kerre - Australia
A wonderful heart warming experience.
Sehr empfehlenswerte Führung durch Christchurch - in kurzer Zeit habe ich einen super Überblick über die Stadt erhalten, alte und neue Sehenswürdigkeiten besucht und ein gutes Verständnis erhalten, wie das Erdbeben damals und heute beeinflusst. Cate‘s Mann hat die Führung gegeben. Er ist halb Maori, Feuerwehrmann und ist sehr gut auf meine individuellen Wünsche eingegangen - einen besseren Guide hätte ich mir nicht wünschen können! STRONG RECOMMENDATION FOR EVERYONE IN TOWN TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS VERY INTERESTING TOUR! Malte - Germany
Recommend everyone does this interesting tour!

Do yourself a favour and book one of their amazing (and delicious!) tours on foot. You're in for a real treat! Much love to the Amiki team and thank you for making us feel part of the family! Kia ora ❤️ Bibi - Netherlands

You will leave you feeling like a Christchurch local
People who genuinely operate from the heart and are 1000% authentic. I live in Christchurch and their walk was jam packed with things I didn't know about my city! Their passion for the place reignited mine. Thanks Cate, Riwai and Lou for your care and for sharing your history and hidden gems with us. Sylvia - New Zealand

People who genuinely operate from the heart
If you do have some spare time in Christchurch, the tour would be highly recommended. Our guide (Riwai) whom did an amazing job in transferring his passion for the city and the Maori to us was the perfect guide. We learned a lot about the history of the city and New Zealand and got plenty of ideas on how to spend our time after the tour. Definitely worth it! Michael - Germany
