  Whilst the tour was ok, unfortunately due to miscommunication re start time left without us and had to catchup with tour via shuttle bus. Driver didnt use headset so couldnt hear most of his commentry . Warm day crowded bus yet no airconditioning until passengers requested mid trip. Prob wouldnt use this company again due to communication. Booked for 8.30am tour but they left 20 mins prior. Not a great experience.

  Our guide was excellent and extremely knowledgeable. The tour itself is a lot of driving. I think we stopped at two spots. The biggest reason I rated it 4 star was the lack of communication by the tour operator. They didn’t reply to my questions last year or the ones I sent 2 days before the tour to clarify the pickup. In fact, I had to go through Viator support so they could contact the tour operator. All the tours I have booked and this is the only tour operator who didn’t reply. The tour info in the Viator app had discrepancies. 1 spot said to take the shuttle & they would pickup at that drop off; another spot said port pickup. Come on guys…this isn’t that hard to get right. Morn of the tour, it was a madhouse around the vans for this tour operator. They had several vans there running diff tours and everyone was to see 1 guy to see if their names were on his list. Today in Wellington, similar thing but this operator had their act together. White boards with passenger names for each van.

• Very unorganized owners

  Our driver, Dennis, was fairly new to the job. Nice guy. The lady supposedly organizing everything was not very good at her job. We were instructed to get on one of the first busses to town and tour would be leaving shortly after that. We stood around for about 45 minutes before we were given any information. Would not recommend

  Napier is a beautiful city with beautiful Art Deco buildings and stunning countryside. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable. He gave us a lot of information about the history of the place. It was a lovely way to spend our port time. Great informative trip, with stunning landscapes. Our guide did a great job.

• Loved the Art Deco!

  The guide was so nice and even waited for me to arrive as I was 40 minutes late. (Shuttle service from the ship was awful) He was very knowledgeable and shared plenty of history and interesting information. The Art Deco influence was everywhere and he took us to all of his favorite places.

• Boring 4 hours in the very uncomfortable small van!2 of us sit on the wheels seat! No place to put our legs!

  We do not like this one at all! It is not worth the money! In the 4 hours; we saw the same thing over and over! We’d rather do something else if we know it is this boring!!

• A great day in Napier and surroundings

  The guide was very good at pointing out the art deco in the city buildings. He also took care to make sure we were comfortable — including bathroom stops every hour or so. Very informative. Took us to a great viewpoint for a break at the end of the tour. Loved the honey store!!!

  

  

  

• Worst tour I have ever had.

  Biggest waste of time and money my wife and I have ever done. Only having 4 hours to complete the tour, our tour wasted the first 25 minutes leaving town, only to turn around to exchange 4 passengers that had been placed on the wrong tour van. Our driver had no knowledge of the van he was driving, he didn't know how to work the step or the heating and defroster. Being pressed for time, it was very surprising to our group to witness our driver stop to take a photo of an antique camper van, while we all sat in the van waiting for him to take some pictures. The driver more than once, tried answering his cellphone while driving, totally unprofessional and it showed he was incapable of accomplishing both tasks at the same time as we weaving across the road. Our driver told us he usually drives a large tour bus, but his skills were lacking while operating the van, so I find it hard to believe he could handle a tour bus. A bottle of water was supposed to have been provided for each passenger, but none was available. They also say they will give you a souvenir which is a postcard. While we were pressed for time, we did manage to spend a full 30 minutes at a honey farm. The driver did point out numerous homes as we were driving around, and offered his opinion as to the cost of these homes. If you are stopping in Napier on a cruise and have limited time, don't waste it on this tour.

• Worst tour we have ever been on!

  Watching our driver trying to work the defroster and then he was trying to answer his cell phone while driving. Totally not professional. He was good at pointing out supermarkets and homes with flat roofs. We did make a photo stop so the driver could take a photo of an antique car.
