Fantastic!!! Our guide was amazing. The introductory video set the scene. The guide showed us the buildings.

Easy walk with an experienced local guide, very knowledgeable and friendly, small group and audio provided.
5Will highly recommend!
I have a low attention span. I thought maybe I would get bored after a little bit. But the enthusiasm, knowledge, beautiful buildings, walk and great history lesson held my attention right to the end. John was a great guide and the classy ladies were very kind and accommodating.

5Art Deco Tour
Great tour. Our tour guide Bev, was very knowledgeable and lots of fun and told us lots of funny stories.
5Enjoyable way of seeing what makes Napier ticks.
Our guide Sue was very knowledgeable, and gave us great insights into the history of Napier. Part of the tour was to watch a 20 min video of how Napier transitioned from the earthquake deviation to an art deco collective of buildings and houses and the people who built them and occupied them.

About Napier
Napier is an Art Deco seaside city on New Zealand's Hawke's Bay, rebuilt after the 1931 earthquake and close to vineyards and a famous gannet colony.
Napier was flattened by an earthquake in 1931, and the town was rebuilt in the styles of the day, giving it a rare concentration of Art Deco and Spanish Mission buildings. Walking tours pass pastel shopfronts with zigzag and sunburst motifs, and every February the city dresses in 1930s clothes for the Art Deco Weekend. Marine Parade runs along the shingle beach, with gardens, an aquarium and a bronze statue of Pania of the Reef.
