5Napier for Cruise guests by a professional.
Forgive me I can not remember the name of our german transplant guide. Yet, I can say he is passionate about His current surroundings and provided exceptional knowledge of the art-deco architecture, tectonic plate movement and general environment. Our driver was exceptional at stopping at photo-op points and made every effort to ensure our comfort. Definitely a way to feel comfortable you will be met at your cruise.
4We were off a cruise and...
We were off a cruise and it was a great way to c the area. The highlight is Te mata point but unfortunately for us the weather closed in very quickly just as we were approaching summit but it still provided a great view of area. Our guide was very knowledgeable and also took us to a honey factory and around the local area which was great given the very limited time we had. Well worth doing. We both enjoyed our day Thank you
1Not accommodated on tour.
I wish I could tell you how the tour went, but we didn’t get on to the tour as the tour operator did not wait or did not have room for us on the tour. They kept telling us that we would be picked up for the tour, but nobody was available to pick us up. I found the people we dealt with to be dismissive and not capable of dealing with the situation. WE WERE NOT THE ONLY ONES THERE IN A SIMILAR SITUATION. I RECOMMEND NOT BOOKING THIS TOUR.
4Informative
Great commentary from Bert our driver, lots of knowledge and a good way to see the area. Commercial opportunity at the bee place but not much choice for cruisers as unable to buy and take bee products on board. Would have been five stars but vehicle very uncomfortable. I had to sit over wheel arch with my knees up to my chin for the whole travelling time and issues with heating and air conditioning.
5Lovely trip in snd around Hawkes Bay and Hastings
What a trip! Our guide Sunny was on time and soon had us on our way to so many places. He explained where we were going and the history around the cyclone and its affect on the area well. He had a great deal of knowledge around history, wine and fruit growing in the area too. Wwe had time for stops to take photos and never felt we were being rushed The coffee stop was much appreciated too. Over all great trip and excellent guide
5Beautiful tour of the highlights of Napier!

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.
Top-ranked sights in Napier: Mission Estate Winery, Church Road Winery.
