Great experience

I couldn't have asked for better. Pickup and drop off from Auckland was smooth. Everything was well explained and well thought of. Timmy, the driver/host, was entertaining and helpful. The visit itself was an amazing experience, I loved it. I'm not the biggest lord of the rings fan, but I really enjoyed exploring Hobbiton. I recommend this to anyone who wants to tour Hobbiton out of Auckland!

Cheeky Kiwi Travel-Hobbiton Movie Set

We found this tour very enjoyable plus informative and interesting stories by Liam who, in our opinion, is an asset not only for Cheeky Kiwi Travel but also for the NZ tourism industry. To the professional tour guide Liam - thank you! Regards Esmond & Marina

Amazing experience

We had the best time, it’s my partners first time out of Australia and he said he loved every minute of it ☺️ Definitely be back again with family and friends. Cheeky Micheal was the man, he knew everything about Maori culture which I love hearing about. Best part about the tour was the ice cream 👀😂 just kidding But overall was a amazing experience and what only makes it even better is when you have a amazing tour guide who knows his stuff and is also Cheeky 😂 Thank yous for having us ☺️

Exceptional Hobbiton Tour with Cheeky Kiwi’s Mike

Our Hobbiton tour today was absolutely wonderful. Our Cheeky Kiwi guide, Mike, made the entire experience smooth, welcoming, and memorable. He was incredibly kind and very mindful about connecting with people from different nationalities, ensuring everyone felt included and informed. Mike gave clear instructions, shared helpful safety guidelines, and offered water throughout the day. He was knowledgeable, engaging, and made the journey feel relaxed and enjoyable. He even stopped for ice cream on the way back to Auckland, which was such a thoughtful touch. At the end of the tour, he made sure we were safely dropped off at our hotel. Truly excellent service from start to finish. Highly recommend this tour and especially Mike.

Milford Sound bus trip

Fantastic way to see the stunning Milford Sound from Queenstown, if you can't drive yourself. Our bus driver Kris was fantastic and shared along of local knowledge and stories. She also knew the best lookouts along the way.

Great views, personal treatment

Ben was our tour leader, he was fantastic. Very attentive and went out of his way to give us a good day. Enjoyed all the beautiful stops, such stunning scenery everywhere. Being a small group was more personalised, was perfect. We decided to fly home and Ben followed up to make sure we connected correctly. Highly recommend this company and this particular trip.

Awesome tour. Amazing scenery.

Our guide Hannah was great. She safely drove us for the entire trip. She was friendly and informational. She offered to take pictures for us at every stop. She was organized and timely. There were plenty of bathroom breaks and stops for beautiful photo ops. The provided lunch was tasty and filling. It was a delicious sandwich with meat, cheese, and veggies, a chickpea salad, apple, juice, savory roll, and a brownie. The Milford Sound boat trip was breathtaking. The hotel pick up and drop off option was so convenient, especially on the return trip when it was cold outside and dark. It was a long day, 13 hours, but well worth the time and money.

Must do!

An amazing day trip and the weather also really put it on for us! Sunshine, rain, sleet and snow! Our guide Paul was lovely and very knowledgeable. There were lots of stops in beautiful places which made the 13 hours very manageable. The mini vans are also super comfortable and made for a great trip. Highly recommend!!

Cheeky Kiwi Travels - thankyou.

I had a great day. Thank you to the Cheeky Kiwi Travels tour guide Nicky. She kept us informed about all of the local scenery we passed and all of the information required for the day. We got so lucky with the weather.

Wonderful full day adventure to Milford Sound

Nikki was an outstanding guide. From the moment she picked us up she made everyone feel at home and she learned our names within minutes! She was knowledgeable about NZ history, ecology, wildlife, agriculture, and geography. She was also hilarious. We learned so much about the South Island even before we got to Milford Sound. The stops she made along the way were all beautiful and interesting and it was just a fantastic day! I would give 10 stars if I could! The drive was just as good, if not better, than the Milford Sound cruise itself.

The Fellowship Takes on Milford

We knew it was going to be a long day, but wow, was it the highlight of our trip. Jason was beyond amazing. A great guide, funny, and most importantly a great driver. We definitely got our money’s worth. Private was definitely the way to go, only 14 of us made each stop easy and quick so we weren’t waiting on 50 people to get on and off. The views were amazing, the atmosphere Jason created had me locked in the from the moment we got on the shuttle, to when he helped me take a car seat to the car in the rain.
