About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Obssion10 contributionsMust book tourPete was absolutely fantastic. We booked this on a whim and lucked out. Highly recommend booking with this small, family owned business. Pete personally took us thru Christchurch, showed us all the highlights, but more importantly, allowed us the insight to the people, culture, and the heart of what makes New Zealand, really New Zealand, the people. I recommend taking the time to stop at the art school and let Pete show you this as well. Way to go Pete! You forever left an impression with me.Written 24 February 2023
- yvonnemckerley0 contributionsNew ZealandLoved Hobbiton amazing, the World famous geysers. Everything that both Pete & John have organised has been sensational.Written 15 November 2022
- AnitaDmello0 contributionsSuper Star Endeavour is the only way to explore NZOne of the best tour and travel organisers Have been to many countries but touring NZ with Endeavour was magical Pete and John are amazing at what they do Very personal and super organised They were super patient even with all our million questions We had a few wanderers in the group and Pete and John were never fazed no matter what New Zealand itself is simply stunning but exploring this gorgeous country with these super stars is sonetjing everyone needs to experienceWritten 15 November 2022
- RTimot0 contributionsAll Aboard This Tour!In the beginning we were Ride the Rail strangers but at the end of our 7 days together, we morphed into friends and a tour family. For mum and I, our 27th tour group was a “wealth of warmth” especially with our tour guides Pete and John- nothing was too much trouble and there was a real genuineness in helping us learn more about NZ and consideration for our needs. Too many highlights to note but our tour covered a well-planned and researched schedule of recommended hotels, eateries and activities we could all experience or try out. We also felt there was no rush to enjoy what we wanted like shopping, sight-seeing and having time to ourselves. Endeavour NZ tours provides an extra-mile, personal and hospitable service. We were recommended to try it and now recommend it to others- it will be worth the memories and the appreciation of such a majestic country we live in- which we so often take for granted.Written 12 November 2022
- Nixalust0 contributionsExceptional Southern TourThe Taste of the South Tour was exceptional. We started in Dunedin, and drove the southern scenic route through the Catlins to Bluff, then through Riverton and Tuatapere through to Te Anau, a Doubtful Sound cruise, and then through to Arrowtown and Kinross. The scenery was stunning, the accomodation was very comfortable, and our wonderful host, Pete, provided a delightful commentary, plenty of photo opportunities, and made sure everything was taken care of. Museum visits, some food and wine tastings and a few group dinners were all included. I would be keen to do this tour again.Written 28 May 2022

The coach driver on day 1 from Christchurch to Queenstown was severely unhelpful, blunt and rude. The stops at Lake Tekapo was only 5 minutes and all the other stops were rush rush. However, we truely understood that this service is not directly operated by your company but hope you could pass the feedback to the provider. On the other hand, the guide at Hokitika Bill, was superb, very knowledgeable and shared plenty of information about the places we visited and also a good photographer. I think Milford Sound is spectacular!!
Overall, we enjoyed the trip and a big thanks to Lisa for creating the journey and understanding our needs especially the request for taxi to and from Queenstown bus stop to Garden Court Hotel. All accomodations were lovely, had been carefully chosen near anemities and all had good views and good location. Your company is highly recommended. We will definate contact you again for our next trip to New Zealand.

We would recommend booking this tour. We give a special thank you to the tour company for not canceling as we were the only two people signed up on the day of our tour. We had a wonderful time with our tour guide, Pete. He is very knowledgeable about Christchurch and New Zealand. He had a good itinerary for seeing the city. We rode the tram and gondola, which provided views of the city and surrounding area. We went punting on the Avon, which we didn't google, so it was a nice experience. Lunch was at a restaurant in the botanical garden (with a good selection of tapas and salad).

Excellent way to explore Christchurch and the surrounding area in one day. Punting was relaxing, views from the Gondola were amazing (plus a great little shop and cafe at the top) and the tram ride an old world experience not to be missed but what made the trip 5 star was Pete, our guide. His knowledge of Christchurch and New Zealand was excellent and the trip was made even better as the number of people on the trip is limited to 8.
Definitely worthy of five stars, thank you Pete for such an enjoyable day.

Dianna was the tour guide and she really knows her stuff, we had lunch in a small eatery part of the city which i would not have found by myself. Dianna was very easy to talk to and listen to. The views from the top of the Gondola were brilliant, took heaps of photos. The tram tour of the city was very good and informative, as was the rest of the tour (Lyttelton Harbour, the city itself etc.), and the punt ride on the Avon River was very relaxing and a nice was to start the day.
Can highly recommend this tour.

This is a nice tour of Christchurch that starts not too early and finishes not too late. However, it covers quite a few places, including the top three Christchurch attractions: Punting on the Avon, the historic Tram tour, and the Gondola ride above the city. Pete was a wealth of knowledge and stopped by several other locations that really helped give one the “lay of the land.”

Really interesting way to see the highlights of Christchurch on an old-fashioned tram. The guide was good and gave useful information. It's hop on, hop off so you can get to see a lot of different places on one ticket.
With the building work being done in the cathedral square, it is a bit more difficult to find the tram stop.
There are two interlined routes and the trams finish relatively early in the afternoon.

Thank you so much for your lovely review. I sincerely apologise you found it difficult finding the tram stop in the square but pleased to hear you found it. Interesting to hear about them finishing early as usually the last tram will finish around 1830 so I will look in to what happened there.
I hope the remainder of your holiday in New Zealand went well.
Best wishes
Pete

Thank you Dianna for a wonderful tour exploring Christchurch. We appreciated the personal approach you took to share the best parts and your love of this city. The tour was informative, covered wide range of experiences and we left feeling as though we were family, not tourist. Worthwhile investment. Loved this tour.

We didn't actually go with Pete and his team but just wanted to record the excellent professionalism that we faced with Pete. He went to a great extent to customise the tour for us including a tram dinner and other things as we liked. Unfortunately my wife wasn't well and we bailed out almost at the last moment but Pete waived everything and cancelled the trip, no questions asked. He is a thorough professional and a great guy. Not sure why there isn't many reviews here, but in my opinion he is one of the best to explore the city and it's surroundings.

This was a perfect tour for me as a solo traveler on holiday. Peter was a fantastic guide and we did everything on the description but he went above and beyond. It was only myself and one other person so I felt like we had a VIP tour. I believe they cap it at 10 people so you will always feel like you are getting personal service and can easily ask questions and make the tour work for you. If you want to get a good overview of Christchurch and sit back and not have to do any planning, this is well worth it. Can’t recommend enough.

Small group with personalised commentary. Diann was amazing with her knowledge and could not be more accommodating. We learned so much about Christchurch, history and current. Lots more to experience and see that’s not listed in the description. Would 100% recommend this tour, it was excellent.

We’re staying at the Distinction Hotel in Christchurch but it doesn’t come up as one of the pickup locations for this tour. Is it possible to be picked up at the Distinction Hotel if we book? Thank you

Best is to have a word with Pete over WhatsApp or a call. He is a very accommodative guy and would surely work something out. Depending on his schedule on the day of your tour.
