Ross is an awesome host - This was an amazing tour. Ross went out of his way to pack as much into our day as he could. He was extremely knowledgeable about the history, especially of Napier but generally too, current events and general information about NZ. Would highly recommend this tour to anyone. Great value for your money

Excellent guide, took us... - Excellent guide, took us to his home to see his beautiful gardens, drove to top of TeMata Peak for fantastic views with time to look around, and a nice tour of Napier with stops to view sights. At the wine tasting, which was a beautiful, private owned vineyard, our guide provided us with the cheese and crackers. EXCELLENT TOUR & GUIDE. I highly recommend this.

Attention to Details and Local Guide - This half day tour with Ross was perfect for our short time in Napier. We felt like we got a taste of the Art Deco, the mountain top and the wines. We were thrilled when he showed us his home garden and loved that he was professional about returning us back to the ship on time and honored our time restrictions. The view from the peak was priceless and OH, so much better than climbing it ourselves. The winery stop was perfect since he was familiar with the owner. His vehicle was roomy, comfortable and perfect for the four of us. Thanks again Ross, for a lovely day.

Not reliable - The host changed our time and told them we couldn't make that time and would like a refund. They said no twice. I do not understand we paid for a earlier time and they changed the time on us and then we could not do that. How can they refuse to give our money back?
