A 10 out of 10 - We had a wonderful time. Kirsty was amazing. She was very informative and made the tour feel as if it was done just for us. The Mission where we stopped for our wine portion had great wine and was beautiful. Perfect for a wine snob from Northern CA. The beer tour was a local hangout and I loved it as well. All in all a 10 out of 10.

New Zealand Cruise - FABULOUS TOUR ! Our guide was awesome ! Only 4 of us on the tour. Napier is a fabulous town. Our Guide was wonderful and explained everything in the town. We went to a couple of wineries and Beer Tasting at Speights Brewery. The Day was fabulous and the town is so wonderful. She was easy to find and find at the ISITE after taking the complimentary shuttle from the ship! Highly recommend this tour !

Napier Wine tasting and tour - The mission winery was beautiful and the wine master was very informative. The drive through town and various landmarks allowed us to see much of this quaint location.
