What an incredible day ❤️

I absolutely loved my Hobbiton movie set tour today. Pick up was on time and our guide Vicki was warm, friendly, fun and knowledgeable. I've only seen photos of the Hobbiton on fb but today I got to see it with my own eyes. It was incredible. Worth the money and I'd recommend this tour to anyone who hasn't done it. You won't be disappointed. Thank you Vicki for being an amazing guide. You rock girl. Thank you Cheeky Kiwi for an amazing experience.

Wonderful experience!

Well worth the time it took to get there. About a two hour drive from Auckland each way and about three hours in the Hobbiton. Beautiful surroundings! The actual movie set was amazing! Highly recommend!

Great day with an awesome tour guide!

My parter and I visited Milford Sound for the first time and it did not disappoint! We got some fantastic weather and were lucky enough to see a pod of dolphins and some seals whilst on the tour. Alex, our tour guide was amazing! So friendly, knowledgeable, welcoming and went out of his way to make us feel comfortable. Alex went above and beyond to accommodate our group. Thank you :)

If you want to really enjoy your day go Cheeky

From start to finish an amazing experience. As someone who normally does all their own trips this was one of the first tours I’ve committed to in a long time and I’m so glad we did. Sam our guide (new friend) was brilliant. The perfect amount of information, kept the trip moving and exciting. We had the best weather so thank you Cheeky Kiwi for turning that on. Milford Sound was amazing and the day made perfect thanks to you guys.
