Learn about Napier - An incredibly informative tour with a delightful tour guide, Roy!! Very worthwhile! Highly recommend. Travel from the beach, through Napier, to the countryside, and up into the mountains.

AMAZING EXPERIENCE FROM BEGINNING TO END - From start to finish our experience with this company was excellent. Maggie was amazing with the help she gave me while trying to organize 13 people (who ended up 11) with different likes etc. We did a day tour from the Celebrity Edge. Our guide for the day was Tere who was exceptional. Amazing personality and knowledge. Thanks Maggie. I can recommend your company and give you five stars.

Willing to wait - I thought our guide was very personable. He agreed to pick us up from our hotel and even waited because one of our bags was misplaced at cruise terminal. He took us to some really pretty places.

Amazing experience . - Our guide was amazing, she was very knowledgeable. She gave us very detailed information about the local area. She brought honey to taste and told us most interesting facts about it. The facts about kiwi plants and their cultivation was very interesting. The whole trip was enjoyable and memorable.

Would do it again - Kirsti was an excellent guide and driver. Very accomodating and the nectarines a special treat. Felt tight in the van with the number of people we had. Loved seeing the countryside.

Good way to see and hear the story of Christchurch - The tour guide was a pleasant man and had great presentation of the story of Christchurch. My only negative, there was not enough time given for lunch break (45 minutes) and no time to walk around the city center.

Pk - It was good to see the area but slot of the wineries required a pre booking so we could not go on. The ones we did get into were good.

Average Napier Tour - Our tour guide (John) was knowledgeable and shared a lot of information about the area around Napier and its Art Deco architecture. The drawback to this tour was the limited stops to view the sites. We drove around town and the countryside for almost the entire 4 hour tour with only one stop. The term "Premium" in the tour description was misleading and not up to our previous Viator experiences.

Find another excursion - this one is a bust! - I rarely write negative reviews, but this is necessary as my 5 traveling companions and I all agreed that we did not enjoy this outing for several reasons. We rode in a rented van holding 12 persons and the suspension was useless on the vehicle (or it had none)! We had a guide who was SO interested in art deco that we spent over 1 hour of our 4-hour time driving through neighborhoods in town. Our trip out into the "country" had only three very brief stops. At the end of the tour, some folk wanted to be driven back to the main road rather be left off and have to walk back to the bus pick-up location. Driver was not happy about that although he did comply. We also requested specific directions to a local business which he refused to provide apparently because he did not like that business. In fairness to the driver, he was quite knowledgeable about the area and the history. Our driver was Roy. Either we all mis-read the excursion description, or we were duped on this outing. ALL our other Viator excursions have been terrific with great guides and all 6 of us have been very pleased. But not this time, sadly.
