5.00This tour was perfect for me! Felt so cute tooling around in the VW! With a small group of six guests max, it was wonderful to be able to get to know them. Craig was a fabulous host and answered any and all questions we had about the area and New Zealand in general. We had a quick stop for just-picked local stone fruits that were delicious. Coffee and conversation at an adorable coffee place. Then up to the top of Te Mata Peak for unbelievable 360 degree views of the region, with parasailers taking off right there. Then back down to a family owned honey business that has been in business for decades that was so educational. And they had a wonderful gift shop where I picked up some great gifts to take home. The scenery in this region while driving around is just magical. Back in town we passed by and learned about the art deco history of the area. I would highly recommend this tour with Craig!

5.00Driver picks you up in a 1970's Kombi VW bus, in town and drives around to some beautiful spots, including a vineyard, in Napier. This is a must do for any VW Bus enthusiast, but also a great way to get chauffeured around in Napier. Side note, I accidentally left my backpack at the vineyard and the driver/owner drove me back to make sure i got any bag back, so thank you so much!
Give this your consideration.

4.00Craig was willing to do what we wanted. He was generous with offering us fruit and wine! The VW bus was fine , but not air conditioned which was fine for our weather that day.
Amazing experience , Craig is the best`
