A very worthwhile Hobbiton tour.

Had a great trip. Our driver, Grant, was very friendly, outgoing and knowledgeable about New Zealands history and the Maori. Shared lots of good stories and drive was comfortable. Good to see Hobbiton after all these years. Pretrip, communication with Cheekykiwi travel was handled quickly and efficiently.

Hobbiton movie set

If you are a fan of the Lord of the Rings you definitely should get this tour. The perfect place with amazing scenery made you think you are living in the movie! We go on February, the weather’s perfect not too hot not too cold. The sky is blue, beautiful for pictures. Sam is our driver for a day, we are appreciate him very much for his knowledge and very safe driving. Again, thanks Sam, you are definitely a Five star guy!

Hobbiton als fan live erleben

Super tolle tour. Unser hat uns die Geschte lebendig witzig und interaktiv erzählt. Alles hat bestens geklappt. Ich bin begeistert. Unbedingt anschauen. Die Fahrt hat unser Driver sicher und bequem in einem neuen Bus gemeistert. Viel Platz und sehr bequeme Sitze.

The Hobbiton Movie Set Tours

The Hobbiton Movie Set Tours were very wonderful trips and we had a great experience with all the movie set scenes. We enjoyed the bus ride from the pick up time to drop off very accommodating. SAME, the bus driver was great guy, very knowledgeable, and really informative about the areas.

A ‘must do’ in New Zealand

I did not know what to expect. Haven’t read the books or seen the films. What a great day out! Can’t recommend it enough. It doesn’t matter if you are a fan, Hobbiton is really impressive.

An enjoyable day

We traveled to the Hobbiton movie set for about 2 hours but it just went by because we enjoyed the landscapes along the way. Sam, our guide also provided us with information about NZ. Sam took care of us from beginning to end. He was excellent. As we arrived, we had lunch at the cafe until our scheduled time. A bus took us to the movie set with McKenzie as our team guide. The movie set seemed real. Everything was created up to the smallest detail. We enjoyed the whole tour with McKenzie as an excellent team guide. We recommend Sam and Cheeky Kiwi for this tour.

Wet and wild and so worth it

Woke up to a weather forecast of showers at 100%..."bummer," I said to my co-conspirator, wife. However, our tour guide, Andy was upbeat saying we would be in for a treat as the rain meant waterfalls during our journey. WOW, he was right! He later told us as he conversed with other guides at Milford that they too had never seen such a sight. So, take heart if the weather is wet. Intelligent, witty, and well-versed...Andy was exceptional. Additionally, the box lunch on this excursion was the best I have ever eaten. I can't say enough good things about the experience.

Exceptional tour.

Our driver and guide Raghav was an exceptionally knowledgeable young man, his knowledge of NZ culture and country was far superior to mine and I’m a Kiwi! . I was unwell and he was kind and thoughtful and an excellent driver. We would be very lucky to have him as a tour guide again. 11/10 Raghav, and The best stone skimmer 8! Brand new buses, everything provided.

Danny is the best tour guide

Danny was the best tour guide we’ve ever had! He was kind, funny, attentive, knowledgable, and had amazing music to accompany the amazing views. Loved the Lord of the Rings, Hunger Games, Avatar, GOT songs, indie pop etc. He made the day go so smoothly and fast — didn’t feel like a drag! 10/10 review!!!

360 degrees of sublime beauty

I travelled with Cheeky Kiwi to Milford Sound today and it was absolutely mind-blowing and sublime. Our tour guide Benny was super cool, honest, told good stories, and kept us on time. We stopped at several locations (6-7, I think?) on the way to Fiordland Nat'l Park for photo ops, including Te Anau Downs, Eglinton Valley, a gorgeous waterfall near Milford Sound, and more. There were also a couple of photo stops on the way back to Queenstown. Milford Sound is breathtaking, and the boat cruise was excellent. The boat we were on had two deck levels. We were able to stay inside and toasty warm, or brave the wind out front, or on the sides. There was AMPLE time for videos and photographs. A sweet tour guide offered to take my photo in front of a waterfall, since I was flying solo at the time. The lunch was fantastic too, and we could eat it wherever we wanted. There was free coffee on the cruise, which was also a bonus. You probably know all that from reading other people's reviews. Let me tell you something they don't say: Everything is 360 degrees of epic from start to finish. There is not one second of this tour that isn't lovely. Our tour had international guests from Hong Kong, Finland, Australia, Canada, and US (Texas). We were varied in age, and Benny made it easy and enjoyable for all of us. I can't recommend it enough. It's easily worth every penny be use it's just hours of nonstop heaven.

Wonderful tour. Very beautiful locations. Comfy van and great cruise.

Our guide Raghav was knowledgeable and funny. He took good care of us and was very friendly. We stopped at several beautiful locations. While the bus ride was long it was comfy with lots of good snacks and conversation. The vistas were awe inspiring. The tour was truly beautiful and grand.

Wonderful day traveling to and enjoying Milford Sound.

Danny was an excellent tour guide and driver. Our tour to Milford Sound was so much fun and the scenery was out of this world! Danny took great care to make sure we were all attended to and had everything we needed. Danny had all the stories to tell and his Playlist was perfect at every stop. The drive doesn't feel long as Danny kept us entertained with playing games like a quiz of things we learned and movie soundtrack game. The cruise was excellent on a small boutique boat with free tea, coffee and cookies. The provided picnic lunch was yummy and we were able to get vegetarian. We really liked Danny, so friendly, professional and knowledgeable. Kia ora and thanks for a great day out!

10/10 highly recommend

Our Milford Sound Trip was an absolute highlight of our New Zealand travels. Faolán was a brilliant tour guide, who made sure everyone felt included and informed. It was clear he was passionate about the area and was very informative about local history, while having a funny edge that made the long journey feel short. The boat itself was fantastic, due it being a small vessel which insured no one was fighting for the perfect picture - there was even complimentary drinks!! Highly recommend to anyone! Thanks 🙏🏻

Scenic Adventure, Amazing Guide, and Milford Wonders

I love Cheeky Kiwi! This was my second time using this tour service, and my group went to Milford Sound with Joseph. He is a wonderful guide—skilled at driving, attentive, and full of knowledge. Along the way, he pointed out highlights, shared fascinating stories behind the scenery before we reached Milford, and even introduced us to the local birds. It was such an awesome experience. To top it off, Joseph arranged a delicious picnic lunch for us, which made the day even more cool. The boat ride was also incredible—we got to see seals and dolphins along the way. Truly unforgettable! A must visit destination in the South Island and take a tour if you are not driving there.

Beautiful scenery along the way in addition to the legendary Milford Sound. Excellent tour.

Wonderful guides full of information & anecdotes. The sun didn’t smile on us, so we missed out on the scenic flight return, but the Sound was stunning even in the mist.
