Bookme ReviewThe Day That Changed The Bay TourPosted by prae from New Zealand on 3 Aug 2026

Good walk while learning about Napier’s history

prae said... I’d never joined a walking tour before because I always thought I could explore a place on my own. But for this trip, I wanted to slow down, relax, and not have to plan everything myself, so I booked a guided walking tour. Our guide was lovely—friendly, knowledgeable, and explained everything so well. I really enjoy learning about the history of the places I visit. It was fascinating to hear how the old town was destroyed and how Napier was rebuilt with a vision for the future. It makes you appreciate the town even more. It also turned out to be a nice bit of light exercise for the day! The only thing that could be improved is the meeting point information in the confirmation email, as it still lists the old location. Thankfully, the lady at the Hawke's Bay Museum kindly helped me by calling the Art Deco Trust, and another lovely lady there gave me directions over the phone. I really appreciate both of their help. ❤️
