Napier’s Art Deco Walk pairs a 20-minute 1931 earthquake film with an easy 90-minute stroll, led by a small-group guide.
“Good walking tour (with short introductory movie to start). Headsets included. Plenty of info regarding the devastating earthquake in Napier in the 1930s, the impressively quick rebuild, and the many examples of art deco architecture across the city centre. Knowledgeable guide too. I do think it'd be better to have a slightly lower maximum number of guests on the tour, though, as it did feel that the group was at times in the way of other people trying to get past, and it was tough for the guide to keep the group together.”

Napier Hawke's Bay tour with hotel pickup, 4 winery tastings incl natural wines, lunch, and small-group guidance, 5.5h.
“This was a second wine tour on our holiday and was different to our Wiaheke wine tour but was still excellent. Firstly, it was good to chat and meet other people, there were 14 people on our tour and three wineries in we became very chatty and it was great fun. We did three wineries and one brewery and had a fabulous lunch at the brewery. All wineries were great but Mission was my favourite and we ended up buying three wines there! Our guide was excellent and overall it was a great experience and value for money… PS. We tasted some great wines!”
