5.00Excellent tour. The guide (Sue) was extremely knowledgeable and we saw a number of different buildings, all with interesting art deco features. The pacing of the walk was also just right. Highly recommended, and great value for money.

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.
