Great tour for cruise passengers
Victoria C,,Jan 25, 2026

5.00Great tour for cruise passengers with limited time around Napier. Beautiful views, lots of good info and yummy tastings of wine, cheeses, honey, chocolates and figs with time to purchase items. Slight delay in start of tour as John was looking for other cruisers due to port giving conflicting information but I applaud him for trying his hardest to find them. He DOES pick up on the pier RIGHT OFF THE BOAT even though NCL will tell you that you HAVE to take the shuttle buses out, he was there waiting for us. We were told the wrong info by NCL and actually boarded the shuttle buses then noticed as we drove off he was there so quickly jumped off, had we not noticed, we would’ve been in same situation as the lost passengers. Thank you for a great tour John!!
A great 5 hours in Hawke’s Bay.

5.00A very nice overview of the Hawke’s Bay area. John, our driver, did a fine job. We really enjoyed the winery stop, with lots of tasting and a generous plate of cheese and olives and such. The honey farm was quite interesting.

5.00We had a ball, John met us and we were early. The tour was relaxed and he adjusted the itinerary due to the earlier expected sailing. We saw fantastic scenery, sampled honey and figs. I’d use him again

5.00It was fun, informative and personal. Only 6 of us with John going out of his way to ensure we had a good time. The views, then the honey, winery and fig stop was a great experience. To be able to have time to wonder Napier Art Deco was also met my expectations
