Good overall area tour

Sandi_H, Mar 2023

Our shuttle bus guide provided a lot of information throughout the whole bus tour with some interesting stops along the way. A good overview of the area. Good choice for tourists who don’t want to have to do a lot of walking.

Hi Sandio_H, Thank you for your great review. Yes, exactly as promised... A good overview of the area. You are in port for such a very short time, so this tour covers it all in your space of time. Thank you again. - John

We were in a very small...

Linn_H, Feb 2023

We were in a very small bus for a very long time. The views were wonderful, but the experience was uncomfortable.

Response from Host, Feb 2023

Hi Linn_H, Thank you for reviewing. I am sorry that you felt the van was very small. Just so everyone understands, we advertise small group tours. The vans we use are standard Toyota Mini buses. We have taken thousands of people over 19 years and this is the very first comment. - John

Very pretty area

Roslyn_J, Nov 2022

We were taken to areas with magnificent views. Loved the residential areas, too. We could live here comfortably. Loved the Art Deco.

Response from Host, Nov 2022

Hi Roslyn_J. Thank you for your fantastic review. Like you, we love this small part of the world, the lovely art deco and the wineries, and the sunshine and the people and the... I can go on... (Ha Ha). Thank you again. - John

Amazing Art deco in Napier

Anu_A, Oct 2022

John was very knowledgable and brought Napier to life . The story of the destruction from the earthquake and then the rebuild was fascinating
