Christchurch Living History Walk is a guided walking tour run by Walk Christchurch, a charity whose tours are led by local volunteer guides. The listing address is 722 Colombo Street in the central city. The walks cover the city's history and culture, recent events, the post-earthquake rebuild and the Arts Centre, and small groups of one to ten people are taken around by a guide. Options include an overview walk, a premium behind-the-scenes tour of the Arts Centre, and customised or private group walks. The business began in 1982 as a personal guiding service in Cathedral Square, and since 2025 it has been part of the Arts Centre's operations, with profits going to the conservation of the site.
Visitors quoted on the website describe the guides as witty, knowledgeable and personal, and say the tours were unhurried, safely led and a real gem. One customer on Google calls it a good way to spend a lovely afternoon on a self-guided city tour.
