5.00Very easy going and informative introduction to the rebuilding of Napier in the art deco style. The event started with a film about Napier both before, during and after the earthquake. We then were taken on an easy 1 hour walking tour of the city. Napier art deco centre has excellent parking facilities all round, it cost us about $6nz to park for 3 hours. The staff were very knowledgeable and informative and we would definitely recommend this tour.

4.00This was a nice informative tour that began with a short video to explain why the city had to rebuild. Nice stroll around the blocks to see different Art Deco style buildings. Was a value at $20 each.
Walking tour gives you general over view.

4.00Napier is a quaint town with fun buildings in art deco theme. The walking tour was fine not great; nothing to do with guide as she was wonderful but all we did is go down street and back up another. They sure had a lot people going on them though. My suggestion would be however to have better instructions from cruise bus. Need to allow some extra time to find the meeting building. It is all the way on opposite side of town where buses drop you.
Informative & relaxed

5.00Great tour, starting with an informative film, then a tour of key buidlings, pointing out the various styles etc. Relaxed pace & made to feel very welcomed. It would not have been as good walking around by ourselves! And check out the Art Deco styled water they sell in the shop - a real bit of touristy fun :)
