5.00I loved the Napier Art Deco Walking Tour—such a fun, stylish way to experience Napier. Brocky was a fantastic guide—full of energy and great stories, and clearly determined we didn’t miss a single detail. I started noticing all the little touches—the curves, symmetry, and flourishes that make the whole town feel like it never quite left the 1930s. Not exactly a “tick-the-box” tour… more like being let in on a very stylish secret.
Great organisation....

4.00Worthwhile to learn in a concentrated period about the towns and its buildings. Comms needs work as technology affected the flow of the tour. Overall however worthwhile.
