Outgoing and engaging, I was born to be a tour host. I love making my guests feel taken care of and ensuring they have fun. I have a genuine enthusiasm for meeting new people, and love to share my knowledge of the Canterbury & Kaikōura region that I have lived in all my life. I can't wait to introduce you to all my favourite places and people and scenery. I am a passionate Cantabrian. Raised in the art world, married to a Canterbury farmer, I celebrate Canterbury gardens, art, and wineries, and have exclusive access to some of the most beautiful and intriguing private gardens, farms bush walks in Canterbury. Having always been a passionate Gardener myself I can't wait to take you to see there story, heritage, and the character bringing you the passion that we have here in Canterbury. My focus is on making people feel cared for, happy, and in love with the Canterbury region. With everything we provide is locally and ethically sourced, supporting other Canterbury business. It will be our pleasure to give you an experience and create a memory of our beautiful region that will last longer than a Suntan.

Overview of your Christchurch tour

Let me show you Christchurch through the eyes of a local. We’ll travel from Lyttelton to Christchurch, where I’ll introduce you to a city transformed by the earthquakes and now enjoying an exciting new chapter. We’ll explore the city on foot, discovering heritage buildings, new architecture, street art and the Avon River as it winds through the centre. We’ll see old and new churches, hear the stories behind the changes and stop for a great local coffee. I’ll tailor the experience around your interests and can extend the tour if you’d like more time to explore. We’ll also visit a beautiful 3.5-hectare (8.6-acre) private garden in Selwyn, recognised for its international significance. Wander through the gardens at your leisure, then enjoy a fresh platter of locally produced food and, if you wish, a bottle of locally produced wine. A relaxed and personal way to experience Christchurch, its stories, food, gardens and changing character. I’m always happy to customise your experience,
