5.00Informative tour / as a Kiwi I learnt heaps about the Napier earthquake and fire along with art deco architecture. Guide was passionate and took us into buildings that you couldn’t get into by yourself or even know what was inside - well worth it.

5.00Even the downpour couldn’t dampen this tour. Our guide had a thorough knowledge of the town history and led us on a tour of both exteriors and interiors featuring art deco design. I highly recommend this tour. They even provided umbrellas.
