Interesting and enjoyable walking tour of Napier, NZ - We were lucky to get space on the 10 am walking tour before needing to catch our bus later in the day. (the previous day was booked out). Helen was our very friendly and knowledgeable guide who showed us some beautiful buildings and told us many interesting stories about the history of Napier. We thoroughly enjoyed this tour and our stay in Napier! Thank you from Mark & Lindsay, Cape Town.

Wonderful walking tour! - This morning walking tour with a guide from the Art Deco Trust was very informative and enjoyable! We learnt so much about Napier! And the Art Deco Trust Building is a must to visit, even if you don't want to book a tour. All the volunteers are dressed up in original Art Deco outfits, absolutely wonderful! And you can purchase high quality souvenirs and art there. We had an absolutely wonderful morning! Highly recommended!!

A real bargain - Great tour of buildings that included the town’s history. Use of headphones for peeps made hearing the tour guide easy. About one hr long. A real bargain for an interesting experience. We are a reasonably fit USA married couple in their mid 70’s.

Very interesting and by doing the tour you are donating money to the upkeep and operation of the Art Deco Trust. - I found this very informative and the guide was an expert on the subject manner. It covered the earthquake and rebuild and delved into the processes behind the rebuild and subsequent management of the heritage of the Art Deco era in Napier.
The Guide Sheryl spoke clearly and offered valuable insight into the various buildings along with their owners and characters from the post earthquake era.
Recommended.

A Must To Do - We did the 2pm walk with Esther through the streets of Napier.
It was an interesting and informative look back on the history of the area. Esther is a local lady full of fun facts and made the walk such an enjoyable afternoon
It was very lucky that we spotted the Art Deco Centre as we were walking along the beautiful Marine Parade. Such a visible and handy location to start our walk from.

Informative & enjoyable guided tour - We very much enjoyed this tour guided by Alan who was both enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Until now neither of us have been great fans of Art Deco but now that we have a better understanding of it we see it and enjoy it everywhere. We can highly recommend the tour and the lovely town of Napier.

Napier walking tour - August 2023 - Great tour and history in Napier. Tour started with a film presentation in the Art Deco Trust building then we did a walking tour of the CBD area of Napier. Our guide Jane was delightful and a fountain of information. Really unique buildings in Art Deco style architecture and a really worthy effort by the trust for preservation. Plus we were able to visit the beautiful community theater. Highly recommend this tour for fans of history, art, or architecture and there is a current earthquake exhibit at the MGT museum next door .Tour was easily booked online, walking was easy - flat terrain and maybe 2km total, and during the week plenty of parking availability nearby. Good job!
