Wonderful 2-day solo trip with a small tour group!

This two-day trip was amazing from beginning to end, especially for a solo traveler! The driver/tour guide arrived promptly on time at the designated pick-up site. He then offered safety tips, which I wasn't expecting but realized were very important! (And gratefully we didn't need!) The trip to the first stop was peppered with quiet time (it was a 6am start), and information, and a lovely breakfast stop. Wonderful tales and information all along the way. And whatever questions he couldn't answer, he found answers to. We visited the Waitomo Cave glow worms, Hobbiton, and Rotorua the first day, and the geothermal park, Huka Falls, and Hamilton Gardens the next day. We even had extra stops like ice cream and a swinging bridge over the dam. It was the perfect combination of exactly what I wanted to experience in the time I had available to me for the experience. Each site was so wonderful I could have stayed all day. But my own time didn't allow it, and Cheeky Kiwi had it all figured out to help me experience it all, in style! Thanks to Ben for being such an awesome and cheerful guide, and to my tour mates who were the best group to tour with, which is important at a solo traveler!

I’ve been on 3 trip with Cheeky Kiwi Travel and all the trips and the guides made their best. I can honestly recommend them.

Cheeky Kiwi John 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

We loved our tour with John. Knowledgeable, funny, kind, thoughtful and working hard for our trip to be the best. We gained so much history and context to the country while enjoying some great sites and experiences. Our two day was good with many interesting impromptu sights which enriched our experience. Cheeky Kiwi and John delivered way more than we rxpected.

Best group travel experience of Newzeald. Thank you Cheeky kiwi!

One of the best trips! Jeoff, the tour guide, was a very happy soul, an informative, Knowledgeable, organised, and friendly person with a kind spirit. We had the best, biggest laughs together, we were lucky to be with an amazing group, and had very nice experiences, walks, and food. Accommodation was great and Jeoff was kind enough to drop us off and pick us up from the hotel to the activities and enjoy them with us! We explored most of the north island beauties and gained valuable knowledge from him too. Wish I knew about cheeky kiwi travel before! The best way to explore New Zealand!

Fun filled two day tour from Auckland

We chose this tour as it covers pretty much all the places we wanted to visit in the North, yet do not have to be concerned about driving around on our own. From Waitomo to Hobbiton Village, followed by Rotorua, Huka Falls and Taupo, we enjoyed ourselves immensely. This tour is well organised, with sufficient time for us to take in all the sights. The vehicle is also comfortable with water & snacks provided :-). We also stopped by at Hamilton Gardens on the way back to Auckland. And of course, last but not least, our guide Hanoz is most professional and took excellent care of us during the two days. Thanks to him, we will not hesitate to recommend Cheeky Kiwi Travel to our family and friends!

I took a 2-day tour with Cheeky Travel from Auckland starting on 15th November, visiting Hobbiton, Waitomo, and Taupo. The trip was well organized and covered some amazing highlights. Hobbiton was beautiful and felt magical, and the Waitomo glowworm caves were a unique and memorable experience. Taupo was also lovely and relaxing. Our tour guide was good, friendly, and knowledgeable, which made the trip even more enjoyable. Overall, it was a great experience and I would recommend Cheeky Travel.
