4.00Great day to learn about Napier's art deco start following a catastrophic event. Eleanor was a knowledgeable guide and took us through the downtown area pointing out art deco buildings, explaining Napier's commitment to keeping these historical treasures and provided some local recommendations. Only suggestions would be to have a bit more of a description of the art deco period and how it came to be.
Art Deco tour was fantastic, don’t miss it

5.00Excellent movie to introduce you to the Napier on 1931 before and after the earthquake. Our guide was very knowledgeable of the local history and answered our questions, gave an interesting and fact-filled stories about each site we stopped at. The pace was perfect for all of us in the group. You should not miss doing this when you are in Napier.

5.00We really enjoyed the headpiece narration by Margaret. She was very sweet and informative. Being a native she was able to give us additional tidbits others may not have been able to. It is such a beautiful city and I would highly recommend this tour.
