Two Thumbs up for Cheek Kiwi Tour Guide Grant

Grant was a great tour guide! Very knowledgeable and provided fun facts and dad jokes on the drive to and from Hobbiton! He made sure we had plenty of water & even gave us a snack & made a stop for ice cream! We were even ahead of schedule & he was able to get us on an earlier tour & gave us tips on how to best enjoy the Hobbiton tour! Mahalo Grant for a good time!

I want to live at Hobbiton

Great tour, Grant picked us up and drove us to Hobbiton. I can't recommend Grant highly enough, very considerate, informative and friendly. He also likes ABBA. Lydia was our tour guide, she was really good , informative, cheerful and friendly. It's a very well organised outing and it's highly recommended for all LOTR fans, Peter Jackson fans and people who just like a nice day out. Beautiful NZ scenery and Sam Gamgee's house! The ale is good also at the Green Dragon Inn.

Fantastic tour, fantastic guide!

A huge thanks to Jeoff (of Cheeky Kiwi). What an amazing day! It was fun, informative, and packed with great local insights. Thanks as well for all the helpful links and recommendations afterwards. Hobbiton was so much better than we expected, and the small-group tour made the whole experience feel warm, relaxed, and much more personal. If you're visiting Auckland, book the Hobbiton Tour with Cheeky Kiwi. Highly recommended!

Fabulous visit to Hobbiton!

We had a wonderful visit to Hobbiton thanks to our fabulous guide, Jeoff! He went above and beyond by providing us with other travel advice in New Zealand. His knowledge of New Zealand and the history of the country is impressive. Hobbiton is a must see even if you are not a Lord of the Rings fan. The details involved in building and maintaining the set are first class. The rolling hills and working farm surroundings are lovely. I highly recommend booking this tour company for a visit to Hobbiton! Thank you Jeoff for a special day.

Big bucket list ☑️ The Shire Middle Earth Waikato Hobbiton

Ale was an outstanding guide. He was informative, knowledgeable, and shared so much interesting information about Auckland and the surrounding area. His passion for The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit movies really brought the tour to life, making the experience even more enjoyable. It was clear he genuinely loves what he does, and his enthusiasm was contagious. Even if you haven’t seen the movies, you’ll leave the tour wanting to watch them. If you’re already a fan, you’ll appreciate all the behind-the-scenes stories and insights even more. Ale is the perfect guide for this tour, and I highly recommend it!

Highly recommend!

Worth every penny. Great tour guide (Martin), great food, spectacular views! Must do! Paying a little extra for a small group tour was so worth it. We got to make more stops and didn’t have to wait in lines like the big bus tours. 10/10

Great day at Milford Sound

We took this tour with Danny and everything exceeded our expectations. Danny was so organized, knowledgeable and personable that he made our day fun and stress-free. He kept us informed of plans along the way, provided us with lunch that fit our special dietary needs, provided both educational and funny commentary, and shared his enthusiasm for New Zealand with us. He made sure that we were on schedule without ever feeling rushed. Milford Sound is a must see and this tour made it even better.

Fun day trip to Milford Sound, Thanks to our amazing guide Hannah!

A fantastic day trip as a solo traveller! The small-boat cruise made the experience feel intimate and personal, and we got to take in Milford Sound without feeling like just another tourist group. The lunch box was also such a thoughtful touch. Hannah was a fantastic guide—warm, knowledgeable, and full of interesting stories about New Zealand. Would definitely recommend this trip!

Girls road trip to Milford Sound

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Milford Sound. We chose the option of a smaller bus and smaller group of 13 (max 14.) Our tour guide Nicky was engaging and extremely knowledgeable of the history and geography of the region. The long trip was broken up by everal stops and photo opportunities. The trip included a delicious packed lunch, snacks and water. We can highly recommend this tour.

Look no further than Cheeky Kiwi!

This was easily the best trip I’ve done in New Zealand! Our driver Danny was absolutely superb- from start to finish, he made sure we’re well looked after: 1). Prompt pick up and drop off 2). Snacks, lunch and water provided 3). The best playlist ever 4). Looked after his group very well, even when we needed to stop because I felt sick 5). Comfortable and clean vehicle If you’re thinking of booking a tour, look no further than Cheeky Kiwi!

Highly recommended!

Our Milford Sound tour was absolutely incredible, largely thanks to our wonderful driver, Benny. The journey was smooth, and the helicopter ride back to Queenstown was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I even spoke with an American family on the same tour, and we all agreed that this day was the absolute highlight of our entire trip to New Zealand. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting, and I will definitely be back!

Fantastic way to experience Milford Sound

Absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish. The small-group format made the trip feel much more personal and relaxed, and everything was very well organised. The journey from Queenstown is long, but the spectacular scenery along the way makes it part of the experience rather than simply a transfer. Our guide, Danny, was friendly, knowledgeable about NZ and it's ecosystem, engaging and sharing interesting LOTR fun facts throughout the day while still giving us plenty of time to enjoy the surroundings. Milford Sound itself was breathtaking, and the cruise was definitely the highlight. Incredible landscapes, waterfalls and dramatic mountain scenery that really have to be seen in person. A long day, but completely worth it. I would highly recommend Cheeky Kiwi Travel and this tour in particular to anyone visiting Queenstown who wants to experience Milford Sound without having to worry about driving or organising everything themselves.

10/10 experience

Our trip to Milford Sound was absolutely amazing! Danny, our driver, was incredibly hospitable and made sure everyone was comfortable throughout the journey. He had an excellent playlist, took us to some fantastic spots along the way, and made the entire experience enjoyable and memorable. The timing was excellent, and everything was very well organised from start to finish. Highly recommend this trip, especially with Danny as your driver!
