Hidden Gems | City Sights

90 Minute City Cultural Walk

Our cultural tours celebrate the diversity that is modern-day Ōtautahi Christchurch. Get to know the city by foot, on this walking tour, perfect for visitors wanting to experience a local perspective of the central city. ​Following the footsteps of our tipuna (ancestors) we meander our way along the river and city laneways, sharing Māori and settler stories and demonstrating how we are kaitiaki (guardians) for the future.

We begin our tour with a mihi whakatau (welcome) and karakia (prayer) to ensure visitors are safe on their journey. We share the creation story of Ranganui (sky father) and Papatūānuku (earth mother) and hear our ancestors story of how the hongi brought to life Hineahuone. 

Discover treasures hidden in plain sight. Arrive as strangers and leave as friends.
