Terre was a great driver with a great sense of humour and lots of knowledge about Napier and the area. She happily changed a beer tasting booking for a second winery at short notice. We thoroughly enjoyed our excursion and recommend the experience.

Great group of people. Mark, our guide and driver, was very accessible and informative. He also kindly returned a lost phone to our cruise ship. Thanks mate! Could have used more info on the Art Deco portion, but he pointed out quite a bit. Location where we had the wine tasting was beautiful. Lots of info on wine. The last stop for beer/cider tasting was a lot of fun. Big drinks in the 3 pack flights. Try the peach if you like sweet drinks! Food was available- which you need after the wine and beer. Wedges in copious quantities. Nachos with lots of toppings. Lunch fish and chips was plenty for one.

Outstanding tour. Kirsty was knowledgeable, enthusiastic and the tour itself was well planned, interesting and enjoyable. Personal attention for a solo traveller was an unexpected bonus. Absolutely worth a 5 star rating and highly recommended.

We had a lovely day with our tour guide Anil in Napier during our cruise ship port day. Communication was excellent with the guide before our trip and they were very good with understanding the docking times of the ship and insured that we were back well before ships departure. The first part of the tour would be best done walking if at all possible, however, they pick you up in a van that seats about 10 people and you drive through the city. As the windows are fairly small, and a lot of the architecture you are trying to view is skyward, it is very difficult to see some of the things they are pointing out. My suggestion would be, if mobility allows, to have this first part of the tour , about an hour of walking so that you could really enjoy the downtown architecture and get some good photos, then return to the van at the aquarium for the rest of the tour. You then travel out to the oldest winery in New Zealand called the mission winery, which has a fantastic story and even better yet, fantastic wines. There’s a lot of history here and you have time to explore a little bit and get some great pictures before you head on to brewery. At the brewery, you have the ability to select your three choices from a list and bring you those selections. They also have some small food items or lunch for purchase if time allows. we just shared some wedge french fries, seven dollars , and they were very good. There was live music playing our last 30 minutes or so at the facility and this person was very talented! The last part of the trip was driving through a residential neighborhood to point out some of the art deco highlights. This would be difficult to walk, but it was a fairly short period of time in the van. They then took you back to the cruise ship port shuttle stop so you could either walk into town and explore some more or you could head back to the ship. As we were finished Well before the last bus to the ship, we spent a bit of time walking around town and had a nice lunch at A bar and bistro that was across the street from the Esplanade area. We had a lovely day and highly recommend this tour company!
