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!
