5.00We did the 2pm tour with John as our guide and he was excellent — we couldn’t have asked for better. He shared fascinating information about the city and its buildings, and took us inside the theatre and the bank, allowing plenty of time for questions. He explained the history behind different parts of the buildings and how the city has evolved over time. The time passed quickly and it was an easy, enjoyable walk. Great value for money — we’d be very happy to recommend this tour.
Delightful and insightful tour

5.00Great introduction to the wonderful architecture - Art Deco, Spanish Mission, and other styles - of Napier created in the reconstruction after the terrible earthquake of 1931. Chris from the Art Deco Trust was an outstanding guide.
Enjoyable and informative Art Deco walk in Napier.
