Christchurch Touring Company provides private, chauffeur-driven tours and transfers across Christchurch, Canterbury and further afield, including Akaroa and Banks Peninsula, the Waipara Valley wine region, the Southern Alps and Arthur's Pass, Mid Canterbury, the Mackenzie Country, Hanmer Springs and Kaikōura. Its offering centres on small private tours rather than large coach groups, with a local driver-guide and a single vehicle for the client's own party.
Services relevant to event organisers include exclusive private airport transfers, with a personal meet-and-greet just outside the arrivals gate at Christchurch Airport, and chauffeur-driven transfers to lodges and high-country properties around Canterbury, including Flockhill Lodge, Annandale Luxury Villas, Otahuna Lodge, Mt Cook Lakeside Retreat, Terrace Downs and Grassmere Lodge. The company also arranges tailored shore excursions for cruise ship passengers and can build scenic stops — wine tastings, gallery visits, coastal viewpoints or a longer lunch — into what would otherwise be a straightforward transfer.
For incentive touring, Christchurch Touring Company's regional itineraries cover scenic, arts and craft market, and wine and cuisine themes, drawing on Canterbury's wider geography from the coast to the Southern Alps. This makes it a fit for smaller VIP groups or executive delegations attached to a Christchurch conference who want a private, unhurried day out rather than a scheduled coach tour.
Published client testimonials, including from a UK-based business travel agency and international corporate and leisure travellers, point to a long-standing focus on personalised service for visiting executives and small groups. Enquiries are handled directly by the company's Christchurch-based team.
