Luxury, Warmth, and Unforgettable Memories in Napier through Mr. Ross's eyes

- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00Our experience with Mr. Ross in Napier, New Zealand was nothing short of exceptional. From the very beginning, he went above and beyond to ensure our family had a truly memorable visit. Due to an unfortunate technical misunderstanding with the original tour operator, our tour was expected to be cancelled because Mr. Ross’s regular tour van was in service. However, when we contacted him directly, he graciously stepped in without hesitation, understanding that this was our only available day before leaving Napier. What followed was not simply a tour, but a deeply personal and unforgettable experience. Mr. Ross personally picked us up in his private luxury vehicle and treated us more like family guests than tourists. His warmth, professionalism, and genuine care immediately set the tone for an extraordinary day. One of the highlights was visiting his beautiful private garden, perched gracefully on a hillside overlooking the Port of Napier. The views were absolutely breathtaking, and his incredible knowledge of the region brought every stop along the journey to life. When we mentioned that wine tasting was not particularly our preference, Mr. Ross instantly adapted the experience with thoughtful enthusiasm. “No problem,” he said, “I have something special for you as well.” He then took us to a serene and picturesque location surrounded by vineyards, where we enjoyed fine local cheeses, fresh fruits, refreshing drinks, and — to the delight of my wife and child — delicious ice cream. The atmosphere was peaceful, elegant, and wonderfully authentic. The crown jewel of the day was undoubtedly our visit to Te Mata Peak. The panoramic views were absolutely spectacular and created some truly unforgettable family moments and photographs. The scenic drive back through charming small towns and countryside completed what can only be described as a perfect day. Mr. Ross is not merely a tour guide — he is a gracious host, a gentleman, and someone who takes immense pride in sharing the beauty and spirit of Napier with his guests. We cannot recommend him highly enough to anyone visiting the region.

1.00The host changed our time and told them we couldn't make that time and would like a refund. They said no twice. I do not understand we paid for a earlier time and they changed the time on us and then we could not do that. How can they refuse to give our money back?
Excellent guide! John...

5.00This was an amazing tour. Ross went out of his way to pack as much into our day as he could. He was extremely knowledgeable about the history, especially of Napier but generally too, current events and general information about NZ. Would highly recommend this tour to anyone. Great value for your money

5.00Excellent guide, took us to his home to see his beautiful gardens, drove to top of TeMata Peak for fantastic views with time to look around, and a nice tour of Napier with stops to view sights. At the wine tasting, which was a beautiful, private owned vineyard, our guide provided us with the cheese and crackers. EXCELLENT TOUR & GUIDE. I highly recommend this.
Outstanding experience
