Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Riding on a vintage car with full of character was just great! Also learning about the history of Napier by informative Hooters guide/driver (sorry name has slipped my mind) was fun filled three hours.

We were greeted by our warm and friendly host Tony and Bonnie. Bonnie is a very stylish and Uber comfortable open top 1927 Buick. We first stopped at the Mission Estate winery with a knowledgeable tasting with Deanna and then moved to Moana winery where we had an enjoyable and relaxed tasting outdoors with Libby and Amanda. Tony then finished with a tour of Napier and gave an interesting overview of the town’s history sprinkled with some good humour ;-). Would definitely recommend as the way to explore the region and hope to visit for another tour again.

Fantastic tour with Bob in a beautiful vintage car. Bob had a great sense of humour and great knowledge. We loved every moment of the tour and were wrapped up warmly in the blankets provided so we could have the top down on the car. We have all been to Napier before but we would all do this tour again! Great to do the tour at the beginning of your Napier stay. Definitely recommend Hooters and Bob.
Tours make great presents for people too.

Our autistic daughter loves the car BRUM so we decided to do a vintage car tour. Bob Rob was an amazing guide and told us all about the Earthquake back in 1931 and what happened to Napier. I honestly wouldnt have known half of what he told us if we hadnt of done the tour!

We were shown around by Bob and he is the most kindest soul who was passionate about his city and was not at all hesitant in taking our pictures. He was very patient and gracious. If you book through hooters, ask for Bob.You might get the same amazing experience as we did 😊

It was just me, so I hired the car (with driver) for the hour and had an amazing time. I had been to Napier 5 times during the year, but taking time out to do a tour like this was fun, informative and so interesting. I would highly recommend the tour even if you have been to Napier before and my driver Bob Rob was briliant, gave the information in such a wonderful manner that you really wanted to know all about the history.....absolutey 100% recommend.

A very enjoyable day, and such a great way to see Napier. We were picked up by the very dapper Glyn in the beautifully restored 1927 Buick. Glyn gave us a great guided tour with expert commentary on the local history and interesting information about the wineries. We were celebrating my husbands’ 60th Birthday and this was a memorable afternoon for us with Glyn allowing us to take it "at our pace". We highly recommend Glyn, and thanks to Ana for organising the visit to include the Silky Oaks Chocolates, the Zeffer Cider and the lovely Mission Wine Estate, all excellent choices. We would highly recommend this for any travellers to Napier as a Must do.

Glyn was a great tour guide for our afternoon tour of Napier. Interesting information about the city and wineries and enjoyed the 1929 Buick experience. We were celebrating our silver wedding anniversary and was a memorable afternoon for us. Highly recommend Glyn and the Buick!

Interesting. Well worth the money. Our driver Glyn was very informative, a great job.

Hi were doing a cruise and interested in the vintage bus tour for 6 people ship docks at 10 am just checking the tour starts at 11 am? And what's the maximum amount of people that can go on the bus as we might possibly have 10 but at this stage definitely 6 people thanks.

Hi Caroline,
It does depend which ship you are on. All our times are tailored to each ship. So if your date says we are running an 11am then we'll certainly be running one and we will be notified of any changes to docking time and will be altered accordingly. If you let me know the date I can post all times. Monte the vintage bus only seats 9 passengers. We usually run between 2-4 tours on cruise ship days depending on how long you are in port for. The Hooters stand can be found on the first shuttle stop. Napier runs free shuttles that are a short 5 minute ride to the Napier information centre where you will find me at the Hooters stand on arrival. I hope that helps. Ana @ Hooters
