All good

We travelled down from Auckland with Cheeky Kiwi Travel. The driver was Mike. Nice guy and a good driver. On time and very well organised. The tour itself at Hobbiton was wonderful. Everything was as hoped. Definitely recommend and would use Cheeky Kiwi again.

Comfortable trip with a four year old

It was the most comfortable trip. I travelled with my four year old daughter. She enjoyed herself thoroughly. Dave was a very understanding guide. Despite some time crunch wanting to keep to the schedule, he was supportive of us - as a family with a child in tow - taking some extra time accessing the utilities or grabbing an ice cream on our way back. We are thankful to him for looking after us so well.

Absolutely Magical!

Despite not having read a book or watched a Lord of the Rings movie I absolutely loved visiting Hobbiton today. Matt from Cheeky Kiwi Tours was a great host/driver and I highly recommend this tour.

A Kiwi, a Brit and an Australian walk into the Green Dragon

Cheeky Kiwi tours were the perfect travel guides to book with - picked up on time, the driver Grant was a wonderful guide and provided a great wealth of knowledge about New Zealand and the local surrounds. We had a comfortable ride and despite the rain had a fabulous time! Thanks Grant and Cheeky Kiwi for the tour!

My trip to the Shire

My trip to Hobbiton was amazing. During the drive from Auckland, the driver shared a lot of interesting facts about the country while keeping the ride very relaxed. Hobbiton itself felt like a true getaway to the Shire. Despite the occasional rain shower, it was wonderful and breathtaking. On the way back, we stopped at an ice cream parlor, and as we approached Auckland, we received some great tips and recommendations. Thank you so much—I’d do it again in a heartbeat!

Cheeky Kiwi Tours aren’t Cheeky they’re Brilliant

This is the best bus tour we’ve been on. Our Guide Simon was fantastic. He has a great sense of humour, his knowledge of everything NZ is amazing. Professional, fun, friendly, Perfect 👌

Hidden treasure

Worth every penny. A friend suggested we go while in Aukland and wow. Any Hobbit fan can have the time of a life time. We're from Texas.

Wind & waves equals excitement

We didn’t have the best weather but our wonderful driver/tour guide Olly made up for all of that! He was delightful, informative, funny (standing there in the rain with the shell of his umbrella after the wind blew it it bits was one of the funniest sights I have seen) & nothing was too much trouble. Our cruise on Milford Sound was quite dramatic with huge waves & rough waters but amazing at the same time. Thanks Cheeky Kiwi & especially Olly for making my day!

Amazing experience and very helpful staff

There were similar packages provided by a few operators. I finally chose Cheeky Kiwi because of the positive feedback on TripAdvisor and the previous good experience with Cheeky Kiwi for the train+bus tour from Dunedin to Queenstown. Timing: Punctual pick-up, with many stops for photo taking, still on schedule to catch the boat. Staff: Raghav is very friendly, responsible, and knowledgeable. The guide put a lot of effort into researching the background material for this route. Along the way, it was not only the beautiful Southland scene but also his commentary that brought so much enjoyment. Crowd size: decent. 14 pp as a small bus tour group. Weather: We picked up one of the worst weather days in Milford Sound. Lucky that because Cheeky Kiwi's cruise partner provided a small boat with an experienced captain, Craig, and helpful staff, Sofia and Faye. We saw the waterfalls going up, though most of the cruise was cancelled later on due to the extreme weather. I suffered boat sickness badly in the middle of the water. Cruise staff Sofia and Faye were so kind and helped me get medical support from Helen once we were settled. Faye stayed with me till the end. When it rains, it pours. I left my bottle on the boat, then, thanks to Cheekykiwi again, I will let the next day's tour guide bring it back. Definitely choose Cheeky Kiwi. If there are more places I want to visit in New Zealand, I will check on Cheeky Kiwi's website first.

Milford Sound & Rain show!

Sonia was fantastic and full of positive energy. Despite the insane rains, she kept us cheerful. We managed to get on to the cruise even as others were getting cancelled. But it had to be cut short midway because of the weather. They reimbursed us fully and that was very very generous. This was our second trip with Cheeky Kiwi and they have been very impressive.

Beautiful Scenery - All Day!

Our guide James did a great job with answering all questions from our small group all the way to Milford Sound. He is very knowledgeable about the area and made stops along the way for walks and opportunities to take pictures. We had a perfect guide for a perfect journey...took lots of pics!

Fantastic experience at an amazing value

Dean was fantastic as our driver and host. The tour group ended up being a lovely group. The value of this tour is incredible, from the pick up to driving to lunch to the sights.

More than 5 stars !

More than 5 stars! We were so lucky to have Abby as our guide—she was fantastic. Warm, engaging, and very easy to listen to. She shared great stories and even had an amazing playlist that made the trip more enjoyable. At the start, I was a bit worried after seeing another guide from the same company come across as quite dismissive to a guest, which left a poor first impression. Thankfully, we ended up with Abby, who completely turned the experience around. Overall, the tour was a huge success thanks to her. Highly recommend!

Magnificent Danny, Guide/Driver - Cheeky Kiwi, OUTSTANDING

I am a Tour Director with Great Journeys New Zealand. Today my guests and I did the day trip into Milford Sound, from Queenstown, with Cheeky Kiwi. Danny was our Driver/Guide. Exceptional commentary, humour, music, knowledge. For someone from Milton Keyes, UK, his passion and knowledge of New Zealand, the region and our culture matched mine. Thx Danny, outstanding. Hope we can keep you in New Zealand as long as possible.

A "must do" tour.

This was a real highlight of my NZ trip last week. Our guide Danny really put the effort into getting to know the people on the tour bus. He provided a great soundtrack, informative commentary and some games and quizzes on the return journey. Milford Sound and the journey there was stunning, even in the rain. Be prepared to get wet under the waterfall (optional)! As a solo traveller I met some really lovely people too which made the experience more enjoyable.

Magnificent place and superb guide Danny

I had the most magnificent time with our guide Danny. He thoughtfully curated a soundtrack matching the events of the day which took our experience from amazing to unforgettable. Felt like we were in a movie. The views, environment, food, cruise, comfort was all top notch. Thank you Danny for making this day trip one of the best I’ve ever experienced. Milford sound is absolutely gorgeous. Make sure you book with cheeky kiwi.
