2pm walking tour The guided tour was VERY informative. Was a bit of speed walking, so if you just has a knee op you will notice it. But there are stop and you have a radio ear piece so you miss nothing.

This tour is a must do in Napier! We did the 1 hour tour and throughly enjoyed it. Our driver/guide Tony was brilliant, very friendly and extremely knowledgeable of the area and the beautiful art deco buildings. We even got to dress the part which added to the experience. If you are in Napier this tour is a must!

Not just a walk! A wonderful tour, the video at the start set the scene and explanations on the walk brought it all together. It has heightened my awareness and knowledge of building architecture.

A must do in Hawkes Bay We had a wonderful time learning about Napier’s art deco features and history. The walk was well-paced, informative and the headsets ensured we could easily hear our guide.

Very informative walking tour We really enjoyed our walking tour with John. He also took us inside two of the buildings, which was an added bonus. He was passionate as well as knowledgeable and it was well worth it. A lovely, memorable experience!

Awesome walking tour! We really enjoyed our afternoon tour with John last Monday - he was very knowledgeable and engaging and as locals we found out so much about Art Deco we previously didn’t know! Loved it and highly recommended!

Wonderful overview of this curious art deco capital of the southern hemisphere! What a wonderful introduction to the art deco capital of the southern hemisphere! Sue did an incredible job, and we apologized for being a few minutes late. She even caught us up on what we missed. This was a really superior experience. Thank you so much!
