Enjoyable Tour All Around

Published on Feb, 2025

Guide was knowledgeable and personable. Smaller bus could go where larger busses could not go. Great tour and great place to tour.

Loved it!

Published on Feb, 2025

Our guide, Darrel, did a wonderful job sharing all the special spots of the area with us. We were able to spend time at each of the different stops and partake in what makes the area so unique and wonderful.

Nice tour of Napier area

Published on Feb, 2025

Very nice tour. We were able to see both the city and the surrounding area. We loved the views from Te Mata Peak and the honey testing at the Arataki Honey Visitor Centre.

Fun, off the beaten path tour of Napier

Published on Jan, 2025

Our guide was very knowledgeable about the history of Napier and it’s art deco architecture, and he took us to honey tasting, a beautiful metal sculpture garden, and stopped to buy cherries too!

Better option than offered by cruise!

Published on Jan, 2025

Enjoyed seeing some countryside. The views were stunning. Enjoyed the other 5 passengers. Robbie was a great tour guide. Easy to talk to and very informative. So glad I booked!!
