I want to live at Hobbiton

Great tour, Grant picked us up and drove us to Hobbiton. I can't recommend Grant highly enough, very considerate, informative and friendly. He also likes ABBA. Lydia was our tour guide, she was really good , informative, cheerful and friendly. It's a very well organised outing and it's highly recommended for all LOTR fans, Peter Jackson fans and people who just like a nice day out. Beautiful NZ scenery and Sam Gamgee's house! The ale is good also at the Green Dragon Inn.

Fantastic tour, fantastic guide!

A huge thanks to Jeoff (of Cheeky Kiwi). What an amazing day! It was fun, informative, and packed with great local insights. Thanks as well for all the helpful links and recommendations afterwards. Hobbiton was so much better than we expected, and the small-group tour made the whole experience feel warm, relaxed, and much more personal. If you're visiting Auckland, book the Hobbiton Tour with Cheeky Kiwi. Highly recommended!

Fabulous visit to Hobbiton!

We had a wonderful visit to Hobbiton thanks to our fabulous guide, Jeoff! He went above and beyond by providing us with other travel advice in New Zealand. His knowledge of New Zealand and the history of the country is impressive. Hobbiton is a must see even if you are not a Lord of the Rings fan. The details involved in building and maintaining the set are first class. The rolling hills and working farm surroundings are lovely. I highly recommend booking this tour company for a visit to Hobbiton! Thank you Jeoff for a special day.

Big bucket list ☑️ The Shire Middle Earth Waikato Hobbiton

Ale was an outstanding guide. He was informative, knowledgeable, and shared so much interesting information about Auckland and the surrounding area. His passion for The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit movies really brought the tour to life, making the experience even more enjoyable. It was clear he genuinely loves what he does, and his enthusiasm was contagious. Even if you haven’t seen the movies, you’ll leave the tour wanting to watch them. If you’re already a fan, you’ll appreciate all the behind-the-scenes stories and insights even more. Ale is the perfect guide for this tour, and I highly recommend it!

Excursion in a small group with a great guide

A great trip to Hobbiton in a small group (we were 13 people) led by our experienced travel companion Grant. He already explained many exciting facts about New Zealand to us along the way.

Best tour!

My sister and I thoroughly enjoyed our Milford Sound tour. Our guide, Benny (if I heard his name correctly), was fantastic. He shared lots of interesting and helpful information throughout the journey, making the drive just as enjoyable as the destination. He was also very patient and made plenty of stops so we could take photos and videos for our TikToks, which we really appreciated. What stood out most was how much he cared about the local wildlife. On our way back from Milford Sound, we saw three keas, and unfortunately someone had thrown bones out for them. Benny stopped to remove the bones so the birds wouldn't eat them. It was wonderful to see how much he genuinely cared about protecting New Zealand's wildlife. Thank you for such a memorable experience. We would highly recommend this tour!

The perfect small-group experience for an unforgettable day at Milford Sound!

Booking with Cheeky Kiwi was the best decision we made. The small-group minibus was incredibly comfortable and took all the stress out of the long drive. Our guide Lynette was brilliant—fantastic with the kids, full of local knowledge, and perfectly timed our scenic stops to beat the big tour bus crowds. The boutique cruise itself was spectacular and felt much more personal and premium than the larger boats. Seamlessly organized and worth every cent. Highly recommend!

A Day at Milford Sound

We had an incredible experience on our Milford Sound tour, and a huge part of that was thanks to our guide, Danny. He is incredibly knowledgeable about New Zealand and shared so many fascinating facts throughout the journey. His passion for his job really shines through, and his enthusiasm made the whole trip fun, engaging, and unforgettable. Thank you, Danny, for making our Milford Sound experience so special. Highly recommend!

10 out of 100

This is the best tour I had so far. It’s definitely worth doing this Milford Sound trip with cheeky kiwi and especially having a cheeky guide, Danny, who’s not only very friendly, but also makes the trip informative, entertaining and light. It’s raining so we got a good display of waterfalls along the way. The weather was rough—strong winds made the waves go wild—but it made the cruise even more exciting! Never a dull moment and will definitely go back and do it again with Danny as guide 🤞🏽

A must do in Queenstown, even if it’s raining and windy!

Had an amazing experience chasing the waterfalls in Milford. Danny, our guide did an amazing job guiding us and telling us fun facts. The sad part was it was raining and cloudy all morning, but that made it so much more special since everywhere we looked were waterfalls. Cheeky Kiwi did an amazing job organizing everything and making sure we got to stop at epic photo areas. It’s a must do when in queenstown and I am glad I chose cheeky kiwi

A must do experience

What an absolutely unforgettable experience! The Milford Sound Small Group Tour and Cruise from Queenstown was worth every single penny and every minute of the day. If you're visiting Queenstown, this should be at the very top of your bucket list. A huge thank you to our tour guide, Jason, who truly made the journey exceptional. His knowledge of the region was incredible, and he shared fascinating facts and stories throughout the trip. He was friendly, personable, funny, and always happy to help, making everyone feel comfortable and looked after. The small group setting made the experience feel much more intimate and personal than a large coach tour. The drive to Milford Sound was just as spectacular as the destination itself. We stopped at a variety of scenic locations along the way, each offering breathtaking views and plenty of opportunities for photos. Every stop showcased another incredible part of this country’s natural beauty. The Milford Sound cruise was simply unforgettable. Even though we experienced very rainy weather, it only added to the magic, with countless waterfalls cascading down the cliffs and creating some of the most breathtaking scenery we've ever seen. By the end of the trip you’ll be grateful for the rain. This tour exceeded all our expectations. From the incredible scenery and well-planned stops to Jason's outstanding guidance and the intimate atmosphere, everything was perfect. We couldn't recommend it more highly—it's truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience that everyone should have on their bucket list.
