Our tour was hosted by Kieth, a volunteer who was a ‘ninja’ on all things Napier, not only did he know everything about the architecture styles, particularly Art Deco, he was passionate about Napier. He first took us through a PowerPoint on the history of Napier and we then did a walking tour, with the whole thing lasting around two hours. It was probably too long for us at two hours, but other than that it was great to learn, thanks Kieth.
Excellent walking tour

A highly informative and thoroughly enjoyable tour. Our guide, Sue, was extremely knowledgeable and communicated her enthusiasm and familiarity with the subject in a very clear and gently humorous manner, never rushing and always happy to respond to questions. Thank you.
