100% recommend

Super great experience with Cheeky Kiwi travel, easy to book, reasonable price especially as it includes ticket and transport. Also really good communication from the team/Dave who was our driver so there was no worry about not getting the bus! Of course Hobbiton was absolutely amazing and wonderful and beautiful beyond words, and Dave made it a really smooth/easy journey for us from pick up to drop off

High quality and the little extras

Simon at Cheeky Kiwi was our guide and driver today and he provided the kiwi hospitality everyone enjoys with professionalism and some laughs (and music on the road home tailored for our tour group) Hobbiton itself was a beauty and the Alexanders and their staff including Mackenzie our guide and all the front of house cafe made it easy for us to enjoy every minute. Thank you.

Best Hibbit Experience Ever

This was a Wonderful tour! Our driver gave tidbits of information and upon entering the Hobbit Town road played the Music from the show. He was very good at keeping us on time and made the trip fun. Once we got there he explained where the Hobbit Town guides would pick us up. Their guides were fantastic. This trip was so worth it!!!! If you are a fan of Lord of the Rings and The Hobbits it is a MUST SEE!!!

Excellent guides made this experience memorable!

Four of us booked this tour and it was EXCELLENT! Our tour guide Liam was excellent, friendly and was flawless in his knowledge of all the sites in Auckland and on our journey to the Hobbiton Movie set. We really enjoyed his stories and humor. During the road trip he pointed out interesting sites and the stories behind them… and kept us all interested in everything around us. This was our first trip to New Zealand and it was stunning to be on this tour. We would definitely book him again for any other tours he might do! And once we got to the Hobbiton site.. tour guide Sam was also excellent with his knowledge of the movie set and the stories behind how it came to be. He was friendly, knowledgeable and helpful in getting us around the set, helping us take pictures. All around nice and beautiful day!

Milford Sound

The best day ever! We were picked up near our hotel and driven through absolutely stunning countryside with several stops along the way for photos, restrooms, coffe breaks. A delicious box lunch was served. We were able to get out and walk around several times. The Milford Sound trip was excellent. We boated out to the end of the sound at the edge of the Tasman Sea. The mountains are beautiful. Our guide shared interesting information about the countryside as we travelled through the region.

Great trip to Milford Sound from Queenstown!

Very effective way to get down to Milford Sound, and yet see some great sites along the way. Abby was a spectacular driver and host for us for the day!

Fantastic Milford Sound tour with great guide

We had an amazing experience with Cheeky Kiwi on the Milford Sound tour. Our driver Raghav was excellent — very friendly, knowledgeable and made the whole trip enjoyable. There were multiple photo stops along the way, which made the journey just as beautiful as the destination. The lunch box was a good portion and well prepared. Unfortunately our return flight was cancelled due to strong wind, but the team handled it professionally and we received a refund without any issues. Overall a fantastic experience and highly recommended.

Exceeds expectations

Tour guide Andy was incredible in all the different info he provided. He spoke about flora, fauna, history, culture, geography, geology, weather, climate, all the while driving us safely on the trip. He also provided plethora of recommendations for restaurants, places to visit and things to do.

Highlight of my trip

I had an amazing trip to Milford sound with cheeky kiwi! I was a solo traveller and the group size was lovely and welcoming. Our tour guide Glen was the best too. He told great stories along the way, and kept the atmosphere fun with good music and jokes. Not to mention the views were spectacular. Highlight of my trip so far!

Exciting tour with a great tour guide

The tour and the itinerary were very well designed and Rob is a friendly, knowledgeable tour guide. I am so glad I listened to his recommendation on adding a plane + copter combo to the itinerary, and he arranged it impromptu. I would highly recommend this tour.

Day Tour to Mt Cook

Great tour! The tour guide Rob was fantastic! He knew all the best spots and told us a lot of history/fun facts along the way. This was a great day tour to Mt Cook and I would highly recommend it.

Good time. The itinerary seemed challenging but in the end was very manageable and fun.

I was a bit afraid as I am pregnant and the itinerary said 3 hours of walks and I was scared but they ended up dropping us off at two easy walks - Hooker Valley and Tasman Glacier Lake for 1 hour each time. They picked us up and dropped us to the next location and a Cafe stop at the end for a rest break. It was perfect and not too difficult, a 70 year old couple also in my tour seemed alright to do it. The more fit people could go ahead to do more if they wanted and attempt the steeper walks. The snacks provided were simple nut bars and chips and water but really plentiful and helped us to keep energised. The stops they chose were excellent, the driving was not too long in between. The ice cream at the orchard was really excellent and fruity, I got the yoghurt one and really delicious and fresh. The salmon farm is fun but the prices were a bit high, but you don't have to buy any salmon. I did like the Creamy chicken pie but I dunno if it was the best in NZ. The ice cream really probably was. The tour guide was overall good. Nice guy, from the UK funnily. His stories were more detailed than another tour guide I had. He didn't talk too much and this allowed us to rest in the van a little which was good. My only disappointment is in the itinerary it said "Lake pukaki is known for lotr shoots and we will point this out to you" and the guide did not know these spots. Also, not due to the tour company but the weather wasn't good for the view. There were too many low clouds to see the mountains. If you see a cloudy day I might recommend trying a different day as the mountains are really what you want to see. Overall still fun and a good time though.

Beautiful Trails, Great Guide, and Stunning Views

We went on the Mt. Cook tour today and had a fantastic experience overall. The entire route was incredibly scenic, and we really enjoyed both trails—the Hooker Valley Track and the Tasman Glacier Walk. Each walk offered stunning views and was well worth it. Our guide, Jess (Jessica) was excellent—she explained everything clearly and shared interesting history and details about each place we visited, which made the journey even more enjoyable. Ending the tour with ice cream was a lovely touch and a perfect way to wrap up the day. All in all, it was a really well-organized and memorable tour, and we thoroughly enjoyed it.

Great experience highly recommend

Really good experience with a lot of good stops on the way there and back. Stopped for toilet many times, cafe with great sausage roll, many photo opportunities beyond what was listed on Viator - nice surprise. Our tour guide was Chris and he was extremely knowledgeable and I found that the way he presented the information was highly engaging. Was great that it was a small group tour which I didn’t expect. Description was slightly unclear as to whether the hooker track would be an option (to only walk the part that is open) - it ended up being only Tasman glacier as our stop which was still great but could have been clearer on the description. Feedback is that some stops were rushed e.g. 20 mins at the orchard, high country salmon Overall highly enjoyable and would recommend.
