Canterbury Limousine Tours specialise in tailor-made tours, transfers and chauffeur services for individuals, couples and small groups - in and around Christchurch City, Canterbury and throughout the South Island.

We aim to consistently deliver a unique and personal New Zealand experience to our guests, with a distinct 'Mainland' flavour. The best of Christchurch, Canterbury and the South Island delivered by a friendly, knowledgeable, local driver/guide - in comfort and safety.

As proud Cantabrians our satisfaction comes from helping visitors explore the diversity and uniqueness of our part of the world - the special people and places - both on and off the beaten track.

Our People - Lyndal

Canterbury Limousine Tours is owned and operated by Lyndal McMeeking. Born in Christchurch and raised in Southland Lyndal has spent the last 24 years living in the City of Christchurch. For almost 20 years as a banker she held various lending and marketing roles, before choosing to pursue a life in tourism. Lyndal has been showing visitors the stunning South Island since 2003.

Her interests are eclectic and varied - they include food & wine (all of it!), art, music, live theatre and sports (including rugby, of course). Her home is in Mt Pleasant, on Christchurch's scenic Port Hills and, like many Kiwis, the great outdoors are a big part of Lyndal's life. Her love of travel has seen her visit many places both within and outside New Zealand (in the UK, Europe, Asia & Australia). She also speaks Japanese and has a good understanding of the Japanese culture.

Providing guests with a high level of service and a memorable personal experience are the number one priorities. So Lyndal has input herself into most tours and hires we undertake, either as the driver/guide or in designing the tour itinerary.

Our People - Bob

Lyndal's right-hand man and driver/guide is her father Bob. A retired senior officer of the New Zealand Police, Bob has a keen interest in harness racing and, with wife Norma breeds standard-bred horses on his property just outside Christchurch city. He has also traveled extensively and is quite partial to cruise ship holidays (most recently in the Caribbean). Born in Southland and a longtime Canterbury resident Bob is also a proud 'Mainlander' and a popular host with our guests.

In addition to Lyndal & Bob we have a select group of experienced, professional driver/guides who assist us in delivering our unique & personalised tour and transport service.

Our Vehicles

Our experienced driver/guides and luxury vehicles are available 24/7 (by pre-arrangement only) over any timeframe - from 1 hour to an extensive South Island tour over several weeks. Services are by private hire so our guests always have the exclusive use of their car and driver/guide.

For maximum comfort and safety we choose to use the following chauffeur-driven vehicles:

      - Mercedes-Benz S Class luxury sedan (1-3 passengers)
      - Mercedes-Benz Viano Trend luxury van (4-7 passengers)

Our vehicles are maintained to the highest standard and come complete with air conditioning, airbags, power steering and CD player. A secure luggage trailer can also be provided (with the Viano) - at no extra cost.

Other/larger quality touring vehicles are also used from time-to-time and may be available on enquiry.
