Coup de cœur pour cette ville

Véritable coup de cœur pour cette ville. Se balader dans les rues qui sont comme figées dans le temps est une expérience incroyable. La visite à pieds est très informative et notre guide était adorable. Je recommande !

Fantastic tour

We had a great time doing the walking tour. Our guide Robyn was lovely and full of information. She took the time to ask us all about ourselves and gave us her background growing up in Napier which was a nice personal touch. It was a great way to see the Art Deco buildings and understand what architectural features to look out for.

Mr

Our guide was an elderly gentlemen; his guide tour missed dynamics; it was a " slow motion" tour with limited explanation.

Napier walking tour

Keith was an excellent guide. He knew his stuff. I learnt a lot about Napier and design. Ready to redesign my house now 🤣. The lady in the office was very nice and made us felt welcomed on arrival. A great experience would recommend doing this tour on day 1 of your trip as we leave tomorrow and have discovered there is more we want to see now.
