Fantastic tour with a wonderful guide. Highly recommend!

We had a fabulous day visiting Hobbiton. Sam was a fantastic guide sharing interesting information about beautiful New Zealand along the way. We had a lovely, small group on our bus and Sam's LOTR quiz was a hit! The weather was perfect too, and the ice-cream stop on the way back was a bonus! Definitely a highlight of our holiday, we highly recommend this tour.

Hobbiton — bucket list item ✔️

Had a great time and Ben, our driver, made our experience fun, too. Will admit the drive to Hobbiton and back was long from our hotel in Auckland but not too bad. It was a little rushed for lunch but we managed. What was helpful was everyone on our van was on time and we only had one other pick up stop.

Great day out!

Sam was a friendly, knowledgeable tour guide who drove us there and back, had excellent communication prior to and during the tour. He was happy to help with any questions about the tour and about Auckland in general. The Hobbiton tour was excellent and well organised. Highly recommend!

Hobbiton..... There and back again!

Sensational day trip to Hobbiton. Liam was a fantastic tour guide, very friendly, professional and full of knowledge and information about the fascinating history of New Zealand. Hobbiton was extraordinary! We were blessed with an amazing Sunny day in Autumn....I felt like I was in one of the LOTR films. I'm giving the day a perfect 100% rating. Regards Anthony

The Gods were smiling:)

What a MAGIC day. Truly…all the Gods were smiling upon us. The weather was absolutely magnificent! Our driver Danny was a heap of fun and found just the right rhythm of ‘chat’ and ‘quiet time’. We stopped at some fantastic spots for pics and Danny’s photo skills secured some great memories for all of us. We truly enjoyed the day.

A fabulous experience by Cheeky Kiwi Tours

WOW!!! What an experience. We were picked up close to our accommodation which took the stress out of getting to the office and parking. Our guide Sonya was fabulous, not only was she very knowledgeable along the way but she was also a very good driver. After telling us about the cheeky Kea birds we got to experience first hand how these birds act especially with vehicles. The lunch that was provided was plentiful. Thank you!!!

Cheeky Kiwi Milford Sound day trip

What a great day. And guide Danny was fantastic. He looked after our every need, making sure we had drinks (water), that we were warm, and that we knew about safety from the start. He gave lots of interesting information along the way and kept us entertained on the drive there which only felt like a couple of hours. Plenty of stops along the way a lovely packed lunch - thoroughly recommend.

Milford Sound Small Group Tour and Cruise

This was a wonderful trip! We were picked up on time at the designated location by a wonderful driver, Kris, from Cheeky Kiwi Travel. She was a skilled driver of a small minivan who narrated lots of good details about the area. She stopped several times for bathroom and/or photo opportunities. We were provided a lunch to eat when we wanted. We were dropped off at the dock, and we were given specific instructions where to meet her when the cruise was over. The cruise itself was majestic! We even got up close to a roaring waterfall. In summary, this small group trip was well orchestrated and very enjoyable.

Amazing day

Benny was an amazing guide, and did so much driving on what was a very long day, but he was so cheerful and made sure everyone was having a good time. All the stops we made were beautiful and it was an incredible trip overall. Thank you so much Benny!

Milford Sound is well worth the trip.

Our full-day trip to Milford Sound from Queenstown was amazing! The scenery is the best I’ve seen all over the world. Our tour guide, Sonya from Cheeky Kiwi, was also great - both in getting us there and back as well as educating and entertaining us along the way. This trip is memorable.
