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

5.00This half day tour with Ross was perfect for our short time in Napier. We felt like we got a taste of the Art Deco, the mountain top and the wines. We were thrilled when he showed us his home garden and loved that he was professional about returning us back to the ship on time and honored our time restrictions. The view from the peak was priceless and OH, so much better than climbing it ourselves. The winery stop was perfect since he was familiar with the owner. His vehicle was roomy, comfortable and perfect for the four of us. Thanks again Ross, for a lovely day.

5.00Our Tour of Napier with Ross was outstanding. He showed us the beautiful sites around the city and the stunning views from Te Mata Peak. We ended up the tour with a wine tasting at a local winery- it was lovely. We had a great experience with Ross as our tour guide and we highly recommend this tour of Napier!

5.00Outstanding from start to finish. If you have only a day in Napier take this tour. Our driver/guide John was excellent. Extremely knowledgeable and informative. The itinerary is spot on and the view from Te Mata peak will stay with you for a long time. Great visit to a vine yard with excellent wines and cheese. Proprietor Ross opens his beautiful garden and takes a personal interest in his guests. Marvellous all round.

5.00On the tour everything Napier probably has to offer was visible, especially beautiful views. The best way to explore the city centre after the tour is by yourself. The wine tasting is best combined with a small vesper at the end!

4.00Good use of time to get a feel for what it’s like to live in the area. We thoroughly enjoyed our excursion and really got a good feel for Napier and its surroundings. We found Ross’s garden lovely with a gorgeous view. The scenery up to Te Mata peak was spectacular! Thanks for a great tour!
