Excellent tour for Tolkien fans
Rich was our driver for Cheeky Kiwi, he provided extensive information about Aukland, which as first time visitors to New Zealand we greatly appreciated. He was very personable, and we had a great time joking on the way to Hobbiton. Chris was our tour guide at Hobbiton. Her knowledge of the history of Hobbiton and the ties to the Lord of the Rings and Hobbit trilogies made the trip memorable. The tour of the fully constructed Hobbit Holes was definitely the highlight of the tour. This is the way to go!

A day trip to remember

Trust Cheeky Kiwi with your day!
Did the Hobbiton tour today with Cheeky Travel, and it was excellent! Cam our guide and driver was the best!!! Very engaging with all participants, with a wide age variation. We had a full van, and some were Hobbit trilogy/LOTR fans, while others did not know a thing about it. He managed to make the long drive interesting and not seem too bad. Also, he was very prompt with pickup and meeting times. Cam drives you to Hobbiton, then a bus takes you up to the Shire, and then you get a different guide who takes you on the 2.5 hour walking tour, mostly outside. Shout out to Chris, our guide, who was also excellent. You also get to go inside a hobbit house, and get very interesting information on how the movies were filmed there. A fun, very worthwhile day, with a surprise stop on the way back. I would recommend Cheeky Kiwi Travel, and wouldn't hesitate to book with them in the future.

Amazing
I had such an incredible time at hobbiton! The tour group I was with was lovely and friendly, our tour guide Cam was amazing and kept us entertained the whole drive and stopped for some ice cream on the way back. Would 100% recommendation this to anyone!!!

Great visit. The guide was friendly and the van was comfortable. The stops on the way helped break up the ride and the snacks kept us going!

Magical tour
Magical little village. Exactly as we seen it in the film . Our tough guide from Cheeky kiwi team was excellent! We had fun and learned a lot of new things.

This tour is a Must Do in Auckland!
We came off a cruise ship and used Mövenpick Hotel as our pick up location which was only a 5 min. walk from the cruise terminal. So convenient! The tour guide Timmy was amazing!! So welcoming, energetic and very accommodating for the needs of each guest. We loved our time at Hobbiton and it became one of the highlights of our trip. I would highly recommend CheekyKiwi tours! Loved every minute of it!

A Hobbity Adventure
Nice small group tour with guide Timmy in minibus. Gave us info on Auckland and countryside along the way. Took about 2 hrs to Hobbiton movie set/tour. Then we boarded their bus and had new guide Andrew around the farm and attractions. Timmy picked us up and traveled back to Auckland. Only negative was limited time for lunch and giftshop. Otherwise great tour.

Absolutely Wonderful
Our driver, Timmy, mde a great experience even better with his wealth of local knowledge. Cheeky Kiwi Travels is absolutely the way to go. Highly recommend.

Queenstown to Milford Sound Premium Experience
Fantastic day from start to finish. We were picked up on time in a luxurious Mercedes mini van by our driver/host Amanda and returned safely back to Queenstown after a brilliant day with a great picnic hamper included which was a bonus. Amanda's knowledge of New Zealand history, culture, and the natural environment is immense, and we especially loved her story telling. Being part of such a small tour meant we got to see places the bigger tours don't get to, which resulted in some magnificent photo opportunities. The boat trip on the Sound is beautiful and we were lucky enough to even see a gorgeous baby fur seal. We would highly recommend this tour.

Amazing Trip
From beginning to end, the experience was just phenomenal, Shura made us feel at home and we didn’t even feel the long trip. Milford sound was amazing! The whole experience was out of this world

Best way to see Milford Sound - With Amanda and Cheeky Kiwi
Our tour with Amanda was AMAZING. I am a Kiwi but first time travelling to Milford Sound and I had underestimated how truly beautiful it is. Felt completely safe with Amanda’s driving and she was so knowledgeable, we enjoyed her commentary. Amanda looked after our group really well at all times, made sure we were comfortable and had the best seats on the boat. Highly recommend the Cheeky Kiwi tour, good value and nice to travel as a small group on the shuttle. Lunches provided were excellent quality, fresh, and good variety to suit most tastes. Snacks and water also provided at no additional cost. A great day out and some great photo opportunities. Glad I chose this company. Thanks Amanda, you clearly love what you do and it made for a great experience for all of us :-)

Milford Sound so worth the effort on a sunny day
A really long day but so worth the effort, professional and really aware of journey times so bags of stops on the way there and then back as quick as possible. It’s a full day but we saw Milford Sound in full sun and it is unbelievably worth the effort 👍👍 Joe our driver, host, caterer and tour guide was full of good background stories and kept it going without being intrusive over the full 13 hour day ….and he new someone from Bitteswell UK 🤪🤪😃😃 Great day out now where’s the wine 😎

Excellent full day trip
We took a tour to Milford Sound with Cheeky Kiwi. It was an great day tour and our guide Danny really made our day. Full of interesting facts. He made the long drive appear shorter with interesting challenges and local information. His extra effort made it a really special experience. Plus his driving was safe and attentive.

Brilliant day at Milford Sound
Danny was a legend. He made a long journey informative and full of fun. Danny made every effort to get to know his passengers and made sure every aspect of our day was enjoyable. We would have no hesitation in recommending a Cheeky Kiwi tour to our family and friends.

Incredible experience and worthy
One of the best experiences ever. Saved this epic tour for the last day of our trip and every minute was worth it. The guide was wonderful and made our tour seem less. Must book with them for the ultimate experience.

A breathtakingly beautiful trip.
Our driver Colin was very informative and made the long trip more enjoyable by his wealth of knowledge about the geography and history of New Zealand.

Great experience
Great trip today, guide with a cool sense of humor, gives interesting information during the way to the attraction, and you can sleep on the way back - time flies, and the views on the way are great. Boat for the ride was smaller one and not crowded. Lunch was superb, tasty and healthy, with dessert <3
Roving07544657887
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.
Christine K
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.
Anshuman V
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.

Great for “Lord of the Rings” Enthusiasts or Just for Fun
Cheeky Kiwi Travel certainly provided us a safe trip out to The Hobbiton movie set, by Nickey. This was an anticipated destination for my husband while we visited New Zealand. We very much enjoyed the countryside on our way to & back from the Hobbiton movie set, and the tour on site of the Alexander Farm was truly fun & enjoyed. It provided our first full day in Auckland with a lovely memory. If you’re looking for something a bit different… then take in this tour. The “Shire” is so cute and interesting!!!
Time2Travel
Amazing, even on a stormy day
Amazing trip! Even on a very rainy day our tour guide filled us with positive energy. Our guide gave us an overview into everyday life in New Zealand and how our trip was going to look like. The tour at Hobbiton which was operated by the local Hobbiton guide was great! He told us about small secrets of hobbit holes and all kinds of different ways the area was utilised during filming. Had a complimentary drink at the Green Dragon and also due to construction work happening at the site we got ''compensated'' with an amazing Green Dragon steins. This was very kind of them. On the way back we got even closer to our original driver who offered us some cassava chips and told us more about the history and legends of the local people. Also got to stop to try the famous New Zealand ice cream and try the Hokey Pokey flavour. Overall the tour was a 10/10 and would definitely reccomend it to every Middle-Earth fans like us.

A MUST do excursion when visiting New Zealand
Honestly, it's a 10/10 trip! Simon our 'Cheeky Kiwi' was great, super friendly and knowledgeable about New Zealand. He was great at engaging with the tour group. Loved our chats about British telly, made the 2 hour bus journey fly passed. The Hobbiton film set tour was amazing, 2 1/2 hours and we loved every minute. Plenty of time to take pictures and embrace the Hobbit environment. Big thumbs up to our tour guide Mike, really knows his 'Lord of the Rings' and 'Hobbit' facts, shows he loves his craft. The cafe was great, the pies are a must and we loved the drinks in the Green Dragon at the end.
Tasha
Highlight of my New Zealand Trip
Wow, this was an amazing excursion for me. Just loved being on the set of The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings. Grant our guide was very knowledgeable of Auckland and gave great information en route. The cafe there had great pies and cakes. The best part was being able to visit the inside of a hobbits cottage. How quaint and cosy and I could just move in and live in the beautiful Hobbiton Village. Long travel to get there but it was so worth it. Love Loved it! A need to do if loved the movies.

Great tour to Hobbiton
After another provider cancelled at the last minute I was able to get onboard the Cheeky Kiwi day tour of Hobbiton (from Auckland). Our guide, Grant, was fantastic and full of useful information along the way and included a few tips to get the most out of the tour around Hobbiton. I will definitely look to use Cheeky Kiwi on my next trip to NZ.

司機準時接送，開車亦有介紹沿途景色，十分專業。時間安排妥當，有定時安排去廁所/小休時間，午餐質素挺好。哈比村的導遊亦很專業有趣,景色優美。我對於這個團及Cheeky Kiwi旅行社十分滿意！ Highly recommend Cheeky Kiwi for all of you. Pick up on time, our tour guide aka driver is professional, nice and helpful. Time arrangement is good and the lunch is good as well. We got plenty of time to go to washrooms/ buy some snacks from time to time. Tours in hobbiton and cave are good as well. I am very satisfied with this tour!
Ruby C
Amazing
the tour was wonderful and the hiring of cheeky kiwi was spot on. The van that picked us up was super comfortable, with cup holders. Our driver Rich was super punctual, friendly and an excellent driver, always concerned about safety, which is very important since it takes three hours to get there and three hours to get back. The visit to Hobitton was spectacular, a dream come true! Afterwards we had a delicious lunch included in the package which was super worth it and we headed to the Waitomo caves which was super worth it. Even though the price was a little high, I think it was worth every penny, I don't regret it.

Brilliant!
The whole trip was great. Kim our driver/guide was fun, informative and friendly. Hobbiton was a revelation and Flavian, our guide, was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Enjoyed it hugely. Waitomo Caves were a magical and special experience. Again our guide, one of the family descended from the Maori finder of the caves, was Fantastic. Overall an excellent day. Thank you Cheeky Kiwi!

Great tour, Kim is awesome
We had a wonderful time with our guide and driver, Kim, to see Hobbiton and the Waitomo caves. Kim was pleasant and professional while dealing with some extra needs from some other people in the tour. She also was friendly, funny, and was clear with her directions. We would love to do another tour with her.

A delight from beginning to end!
Our visit to Hobbiton was magical and the Glow warm Caved was a one-of-a-kind experience. Our tour manager/driver, Vickie, was on top of everything. She communicated with us several days out to make sure everything was in order. The timing of the whole day was perfect!

A fabulous experience at Hobbiton and the Waitomo Glow Worm Caves
What an excellent tour! Our driver Mark took care of our group and made sure we always arrived on time at our destinations plus kept us fuelled with snacks and water during the drive. He also provided interesting information along the journey. He also picked us up and dropped us off at our respective accommodations which made this tour very easy for us to join. At Hobbiton, Noelle proved to be a wonderful and engaging tour guide, demonstrating enthusiasm and in-depth knowledge of the films as well as Hobbiton itself. I've always wanted to visit Hobbiton, being a big fan of the stories and films, and this tour did not disappoint. I felt like part of the stories during my visit here. At the Waitomo Glow Worm Caves, Danny kept us entertained as well as informed, making our tour a fascinating and memorable one. The glow worms themselves put on a spectacular display. They should get a pay rise for doing their job so well. The cave ceiling looked like a night sky filled with stars. I would definitely choose Cheeky Kiwi Travels again when I return to New Zealand in future. Highly recommended.

Such an amazing day! The drive was beautiful and there were plenty of chances to stop and take pictures. Our guide/driver, Jacob was great. The provide lunch was also very good. The boat tour was also a success. Though it was windy, we were able to stay on the top deck and fully enjoy the whole experience. We opted to fly back which gave an unmatched view of the mountains and lakes. 10 out of 10 experience.

Absolutely Amazing Milford Sound Experience – A Must-Do from Queenstown
We had an absolutely amazing Milford Sound tour from Queenstown, and it was truly one of the highlights of our New Zealand trip. From start to finish, everything was extremely well organized and enjoyable. Our guide, Kristina (with a K), was fantastic — very knowledgeable, friendly, and engaging. She did an excellent job explaining all the scenic spots and landmarks along the way between Queenstown and Milford Sound, sharing interesting insights that made the journey both informative and enjoyable. The Mercedes 16 seater minibus was very comfortable, and the lunch provided was excellent, honestly one of the best lunches we’ve had on a guided tour. Even though it was a bright, sunny day, we were still lucky enough to see plenty of waterfalls, which made the scenery even more spectacular. The Milford Sound cruise itself was absolutely breathtaking and exceeded all expectations. On the return journey, we opted for the scenic flight experience, which was the perfect way to end the day — the views were incredible and truly unforgettable. Overall, this tour was outstanding and is a must-do for anyone visiting Queenstown. Highly recommended.

Sheer beauty of Milford Sound
My husband and I really enjoyed our minibus/cruise/minibus tour of Milford Sound yesterday with Danny from Cheeky Kiwi Tours. From the moment that we were picked up in the morning, we knew we were in capable hands. The tour was so well-organized and Cheeky Kiwi had thought of everything to make our experience an enjoyable one- including squeegees to wipe the condensation from the minibus windows so we could see the scenery outside, to a really tasty picnic lunch catering for our dietary requirements. Danny made the tour itself a very relaxed experience. He demonstrated an extensive knowledge of the local area and of the local culture. Danny showed genuine interest in learning more about his guests and what had brought them to Queenstown. He delivered the tour in a professional and punctual manner with good-humour and an authentic appreciation of the magic of the South Island of NZ. Danny also tried his hardest to get us on a flight back to Queenstown once we were at Milford Sound (our previous flight had been cancelled). The scenery on the way to Milford is next level spectacular and awe-inspiring. We were allowed plenty of time to stop and really take in the scenery at each of the photo spots. We were blessed with sunshine and blue skies which made our cruise in the fjord a really enjoyable experience. Danny also played scenery-appropriate music at different stages of the tour which added to the whole experience. Thank you to Danny and Cheeky Kiwi Tours for a memorable experience. Liza and Brendan

Just Do It! A Stunning Nature Experience
A fantastic experience! The best tour I've ever been on. We were in a small 16-seater bus and the tour guide (Shoe) was very warm, friendly and informative and clearly loves her job. We stopped at several very scenic places along the way which made the long trip to Milford interesting and not at all tiring. We were lucky enough to spot several native NZ birds at places we stopped at including a Kaka and a Kakapo. The Milford Sound boat tour was absolutely stunning and really enjoyable. We had a dry day but due to rain a couple of days earlier, there was still plenty of waterfalls. As the boat was small, it could get in close to the waterfalls which was a wonderful experience. We were lucky enough to see dolphins and seals too. The weather was cold, but having a down jacket and a water and wind proof jacket on, plus a warm hat meant that I was still warm outside on the decks. I also had my bird watching binoculars with me which added to the whole amazing experience. The lunch provided was excellent and catered well for different diets. The flight back was awesome and really worth it. As the weather was clear, we had fabulous views of the mountain tops, glaciers, lakes and hills. The pilot was great with her commentary. All up, I found Cheeky Kiwi Travel a really excellent company to deal with. I'd booked with them through Viator. They were very quick at responding to my email questions and I really liked that they picked me up close to my accomodation and then after the flight they dropped me right back to where I was staying.

Stunning views and a memorable trip
Had a wonderful trip to Milford Sound led by Dean from Cheeky Kiwi. It was such a memorable day. It was fascinating to learn about the natural landmarks during the drive to Milford Sound and also about the local wildlife. There was a good amount of toilet breaks too. The cruise was amazing - the scenes are simply breathtaking. We were fortunate to be able to fly back and I could t recommend it enough - the views from the skies were awesome! A highlight of our trip.

Cheeky Kiwi went above and beyond to give us a fantastic experience!
We enjoyed a fantastic day of sight seeing, hiking and exploring with Cheeky Kiwi. Our guide, Dean, kept us well informed and on schedule. He also adjusted plans to work around the weather and ensure that we got the best possible views of Mt. Cook and Tasman glacier. As a result, we were able to see everything promised and more! In addition, my daughter left an item on the van and Dean delivered it back to our hotel. We were thrilled with Cheeky Kiwi and highly recommend!

He made the tour lots of fun and engaging as well as being very knowledgeable about the places we visited and answered any questions we had. He gave lots of recommendations and was very accommodating.

Mesmerising Mt Cook tour
Dean ( I don't think I remember my guide's name correctly - but he was a bit on the older side in terms of age) is an extremely knowledgeable guide. I was sitting in the front seat of the van and I remember asking a lot of questions and he patiently answered all of them. The drive to mount cook and the tasman glacier trail was nothing short of mesmerising. Dean made sure to point out the significance of most of important points/lookouts during the tour. The mount cook decided to not hide behind the clouds on that day and therefore the entire drive along with the tasman glacier trail was so much more exciting. The hooker valley trail was also very good. The only thing I felt was - the time allotted for the trail was a bit short and could have been a bit more. Otherwise, I have no complaints. The tour was nothing short of mesmerising and I strongly recommend going for this!!
Sankhya Subhra H
A must-do trip when in Queenstown!
Really good experience. Dean was a really good guide making the day one to remember. The views were stunning and you had time to explore the tracks at Mount Cook. The views on the road to mount cook were incredible as well. Highly recommend this trip.

Great day trip
I had a good time today. Geoff, our guide, was great. A bit more time at Coromandel Beach would have been nice, as the walk up and down steels quite some time.

Amazing tour with an amazingly caring guide
Amazing tour with an amazing guide, Jaymie. Jayme made the tour even more fun, and she was accommodating to everyone’s need, and tweaked the tour according to people’s fitness level. She came along, did the hikes with the group, encouraging those who needed it. The places we visited were breathtakingly beautiful. Just bring hiking shoes (my Birks were ill advised).

Wonderful experience
We had a wonderful day at the Coromandel area with Ari and Sam. Ari was absolutely fantastic; she is native Māori and regaled us with wonderful historical NZ history and facts, and she called us ‘Far-no’ which means ‘family’ - giving us all a lovely sense of belonging and togetherness :) honestly cannot recommend this tour company enough - Ari made our experience absolutely unforgettable ❤️

Beautiful Escape from the City
This tour was the perfect way to escape the CBD and explore the Coromandel Peninsula. Our guide Simon was friendly, hospitable and knowledgeable, making the tour extremely engaging and enjoyable. Would highly recommend this tour!

Magical day at Cathedral Cove
Simon ran a very entertaining tour of Cathdral Cove and Hot Water Beach. He pivoted quickly when we ran into unexpected traffic delays- kudos to him! Highly recommend this tour.

Ein rundum schöner Ausflug mit wunderschönen Ausblicken
Die Abholung am Morgen vom angegebenen Pick-Up verlief reibungslos und pünktlich und man wurde freundlich begrüßt. Während der Fahrt wurden angemessene Pausen eingelegt und man erhielt nützliche Tipps über lokale Sehenswürdigkeiten und Einkehrmöglichkeiten, sowie historische Informationen über die Ortschaften. Der Hot Water Beach war der erste Stopp des Tages, man konnte mit der Schaufel selbständig sein eigenes thermales Loch graben oder einen Spaziergang am Strand neben den Wellen unternehmen. Nach einem ausgedehnten Mittagessen ging es zum Cathedral Cove, den man nach ca. 40min Laufweg (nicht zu unterschätzen, es gibt lange Steigungen und steile Treppen mit Geländer zum Strand!) erreicht. Es war insgesamt ein schöner Tag mit tollen Spots für Pausen und schönen Aussichten zum Festhalten.

More than a Tour, a real connection
It was a fantastic experience with our guide Jamie and her husband Kelvin. Jamie was more than just a guide. She shared the history of New Zealand and the Māori culture in a very engaging way. As a foreign visitor, I did not know much about this before. After listening to her stories, I felt a strong emotional connection to this place. I sincerely wish New Zealand and the Māori people all the best. ❣️
