We had a great time doing the walking tour. Our guide Robyn was lovely and full of information. She took the time to ask us all about ourselves and gave us her background growing up in Napier which was a nice personal touch. It was a great way to see the Art Deco buildings and understand what architectural features to look out for.
Keith was an excellent guide. He knew his stuff. I learnt a lot about Napier and design. Ready to redesign my house now 🤣. The lady in the office was very nice and made us felt welcomed on arrival. A great experience would recommend doing this tour on day 1 of your trip as we leave tomorrow and have discovered there is more we want to see now.
Our guide was an elderly gentlemen; his guide tour missed dynamics; it was a " slow motion" tour with limited explanation.
We really enjoyed this tour. It starts with a talk and then a film on the background to how an earthquake in 1931 led to Napier being rebuilt in a consistent style. The walking tour was led by a knowledgeable guide and we covered most of the centre of the city
