Fantastic!

Great tour! Well organised. David was an excellent guide and driver (with informative commentary). Hobbiton is awesome, highly recommended. Yummy ice cream stop on the way back to Auckland.

10/10 would do again

Dave was an entertaining guide and safe driver, spot on with the local recs as well. I had an amazing time on the set, and the ice cream stop on the way back was a great way to wrap up the day.

Excellent tour and tour guide!

This was such a fun trip! The highlight was having such an amazing guide. Dave was knowledgeable, friendly, kind, and humorous. He kept us laughing while educating us about New Zealand in general, Auckland more specifically, and about Hobbiton. If you enjoyed the books or movies even a little, this is the tour for you. Totally worth the time and expense.

Great Day in Hobbiton

Wonderful tour with “Cam.” He picked us up on time, provided informative commentary on the drive down, delivered us to Hobbiton, and gave us a “local” tour on the way back to Auckland.

Loads of fun!

We had a great time on the tour! It was loads of fun whether you're a fan or not. Our driver Timmy was great! He was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions.

Bringing a movie to life by visiting the movie set and seeing it in person was great and well worth it.

This was a great tour. We got to see a lot of the beautiful countryside on the drive from Auckland to the Hobbiton Movie Set and back to Auckland. New Zealand is beautiful and seeing the hobbit set brought back memories of the Lord of Rings movies that I watched over 20 years ago. Our guide, Simon I believe (we had tours every day over 4 weeks), did a great job of sharing both history and information about various sites.

A Cheeky, Unforgettable Hobbiton Adventure

We had an absolutely fantastic experience with Cheeky Kiwi Travel! From the moment we met our tour guide, Timmy, we felt welcomed and well taken care of. He was warm, engaging, and had us laughing the entire way with his hilarious one-liner jokes. Timmy was incredibly knowledgeable about New Zealand’s culture and history, and he did an amazing job keeping us on schedule, even when other passengers caused delays at stops. He got us safely to Hobbiton Movie Set, checked us in right away, and made sure we had plenty of time to enjoy the gift shop and café. When the tour ended, he was waiting right at the drop-off spot, exactly where he said he’d be. The trip was smooth and comfortable, with plenty of refreshments and snacks provided along the way, and he even surprised us with a special stop that made the day extra memorable. Timmy’s personality (and the cheeky little ice cream 😉) were honestly my favorite parts, right up there with the Hobbiton tour itself. Overall, this was a top-notch experience from start to finish. We would absolutely book another adventure with Cheeky Kiwi Travel the next time we’re in Auckland. Highly recommend!

Strongly recommended, both the destination and Cheeky Kiwi Travel services

Everything was perfect, the pick up time respected, the high quality of the bus, and most important: the guide was wonderful !!! The destination was unforgettable, a "must" when visiting Auckland.

Fantastic tour, excellent tour guide.

Our tour guide Abbie was great and really made the tour. She was very friendly and informative and a great storyteller. We loved the soundtrack that she put together for the trip including some instrumental movie tracks that paired perfectly with the beautiful backdrop. Our group was small which made for a more relaxed experience. We stopped a few times for photos and toilet breaks which helped to break up the long day. The boat ride lasted for 2hrs and the captain was also very informative and funny. Early in the day we were each given a lunch pack with a sandwich, juice and plenty of snacks. My only criticism is that the sandwich was a bit odd and soggy. Overall a great tour.

Milford Sound adventure

Martin (originally from Sheffield, England) was our guide and driver from Queenstown to Milford Sound and back. He made a lengthy trip fun, interesting and educational. We enjoyed a great picnic lunch while on the cruise of the sound and the scenery was outstanding. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience and introduction to New Zealand. We loved the country and people from the start.

We didn’t know that nature could be so beautiful!

We had an incredible day on our trip to Milford Sound in NZ with absolutely the best guide we have ever used on an excursion. Abby was so well prepared with incredible knowledge and information, she went way beyond any one’s expectations to assure our trip was 100% full of satisfaction, pleasure and amazement! I highly recommend to all future guests use Viator and request Abby for the enhancement of your next adventure! Doug & Dayla Fort Worth, TX

A very fun day

This company puts together a very well organized visit to Milford Sound, with interesting stops along the way. Our guide Liam was especially good and provided lots of information about NZ and its culture. It is a long day but well worth it if you are staying in Queenstown and want to experience the iconic beauty of Milford Sound.

Fantastic day trip to Milford Sound

Great communication from the company regarding pick-up time and location for pick-up. The driver/guide (young Irish lad named Floumen???) was excellent. He was a very safe driver, delivered an informative commentary along the way, made sure everyone was comfortable and provided many opportunities to see views and take photos. The breakfast/coffee stop was great and the lunch they provided was excellent. The 16 seater Mercedes van was super comfortable and able to park anywhere to access the amazing views. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see Milford Sound and all the other views along the way without any stress.

Great Guide

Glenn was a fantastic guide. He was knowledgeable and kind. The lunch was tasty and the van was comfortable. It is a long day, but if you’re coming from Queenstown this is an ideal choice. We are grateful to have found this tour and had Glenn as our guide.

Stunning Experience

It was great to take this day-long trip in a small group instead of a large bus. We made more scenic stops and were on a small boat for the water portion. Our tour guide Joe was superb — well organized, informative, personable.

Milford Sound of Music

During my two months of traveling New Zealand, I’ve had several day tours with Cheeky Kiwi, which were all great, but this was the best one yet. The tour guide, Danny, played specific selected music during the sights, which made me feel like I was in a movie, and it made the experience even better than it already was. The tour had many photo stops and hidden gems. As a way to bond, especially as a solo traveler, it was great that Danny made an effort to initiate a group introduction. On the way back we were still entertained by music and a pop quiz. The day tour was highly entertaining, a true Milford Sound of Music, and I would definitely recommend!
