A fun tour for The LOTR Hobbit fans and aspiring fans!

Our friendly Cheeky Kiwi Tour driver-guide Hanoz was terrific, providing interesting commentaries on Hobbiton and Auckland as well as New Zealand history and culture, while driving professionally and safely, for a comfortable mini-bus ride from downtown Auckland to Hobbiton and back. The drive from Auckland to Hobbiton takes over two hours and Hanoz's personable style and humour seemed to make the time go by fast. Good job Hanoz! Being a fan of The Lord Of The Rings/Hobbit movies, I was looking forward to visiting The Shire set and the set tour did not disappoint! Molly, our enthusiastic and knowledgeable Hobbiton guide was fantastic, providing loads of background and inside information of how many of the memorable scenes of the three movies were created at the actual set locations. We had ample time to take pictures and videos as we were guided through the sprawling set. This was a super fun experience and I highly recommend it, especially if you're a fan of the movies, or aspire to be one.

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!

A proud Kiwi's experience in our country. Loved it!

Wow! An unforgettable memorable experience. A Kiwi, born and bred in NZ from Auckland I booked this small group tour for my other half, first-time in Sth Island. We were very impressed with the tour especially our tour guide Danny. His affable and disarming nature eliminated the need for an ice breaker. He was sincere and accommodating fir everybody on the mini van. Their were different age groups and cultures but he made us all feel included. I enjoyed the way he queued his music to set the theme fir his commentary at different spots he visited. As a Kiwi, he was on point with commentary even we learnt some new things about our country. We are also proud of Danny, he expressed the importance of our Maori culture to our country and to respect its land. Our small group of 12, got to mix easily with these lovely people from around the world. The minivan and smaller boat was worth it. We were able to drive to extra locations unlike the large buses who were limited. Same with the boat, we were able to get closer to the shore. A beautiful day, we stopped at a lot of photographic areas on the way in to our boat, and then a straight drive. And a bonus was our packed lunch. Thank you so much Danny, keep up the amazing work you do, sharing about the beauty of our country the views, story and our music. Book this tour guys, you will love it!😀

Wonderful intro to NZ!

We absolutely enjoyed our tour with Kristina who was a wonderful storyteller regaling us with the stories of the land throughout. The 13 hours flew past with so many beautiful pictures of gorgeous places which she stopped to show us along the way! She's also a fantadtic photographer. What a wonderful way to start our holiday in New Zealand!

Great experience, great guide!

Our excursion to Milford Sound was absolutely incredible, and Danny made the experience even better! From start to finish, he was extremely friendly, professional, and provided outstanding customer service. He was even early for our pickup, which made the start of the day smooth and stress-free. Danny was very knowledgeable about the area, history, and scenery, which added so much to the experience and made the journey just as enjoyable as the destination itself. One of the highlights was definitely his playlist — it kept the energy up the entire time and made the ride so much fun. The lunches provided were also delicious and a great added touch to an already amazing day. You could tell Danny genuinely cared about making sure everyone had an unforgettable experience. Highly recommend this tour, especially if you get Danny as your guide!

Milford sound visit

This trip was great, because the landscape and spot to visit and because the organization. The driver Danny, was fantastic in explain every details of the visited places. Cruise was Simply amazing, due to the place and because we meet dolphins. The price was a great valute for the service proposed (van, Picnic and Cruise).

A Perfect Day

We had an incredible time on our Milford Sound trip! Pickup was on time and easy to locate. Our tour guide was amazing, extremely friendly and helpful. We had carefully thought out stops along the way with snacks and water too! It’s around a 13 hour trip but the vehicle was comfortable. Lunch being provided means we didn’t have to worry about that, also our entrance fees to our Milford Sound cruise were all in with the price. Being a smaller tour group gives you a better experience and atmosphere in my opinion as you can ask more questions to your guide etc. It was a perfect, stress free day and I would definitely recommend, thank you!

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.

Perfect Day with Benny

We had the most fantastic experience with Benny. It was a wonderful day, and amplified by how beautiful the scenery was, but it was Benny who made it special. Charismatic and knowledgeable, Benny made the 4 hour drive so fun and interesting. He knew absolutely everything and had a fun fact for every way of the trip. He made such an effort to stop along the way to ensure we all saw what we were after - including finding a Kea bird for us all to see on two occasions! The lunch was also great (it’s not small by any means) and I can’t give enough credit to everyone at Cheeky Kiwi for putting together such a great day. Thanks guys!

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!!!
