Wonderful experience

We had a wonderful time visiting Hobbiton with our Cheeky Kiwi tour guide, Dave/Rawiri! We learned a lot about New Zealand on our ride to Hobbiton from Rawiri and he made sure to answer all of our questions. He was kind and friendly and we had lovely conversations during our ride. Hobbiton itself was amazing and a one-of-a-kind experience for kids and adults alike! Would highly recommend :)

Hobbiton day trip.

Fabulous day trip to Hobbiton! Geoff the driver was punctual. The bus was clean and comfortable and we had an informative commentary along the way. Nothing was too much trouble. Hobbiton was fascinating and very well done. Loved the trip,!

All good

We travelled down from Auckland with Cheeky Kiwi Travel. The driver was Mike. Nice guy and a good driver. On time and very well organised. The tour itself at Hobbiton was wonderful. Everything was as hoped. Definitely recommend and would use Cheeky Kiwi again.

Comfortable trip with a four year old

It was the most comfortable trip. I travelled with my four year old daughter. She enjoyed herself thoroughly. Dave was a very understanding guide. Despite some time crunch wanting to keep to the schedule, he was supportive of us - as a family with a child in tow - taking some extra time accessing the utilities or grabbing an ice cream on our way back. We are thankful to him for looking after us so well.

Absolutely Magical!

Despite not having read a book or watched a Lord of the Rings movie I absolutely loved visiting Hobbiton today. Matt from Cheeky Kiwi Tours was a great host/driver and I highly recommend this tour.

A Kiwi, a Brit and an Australian walk into the Green Dragon

Cheeky Kiwi tours were the perfect travel guides to book with - picked up on time, the driver Grant was a wonderful guide and provided a great wealth of knowledge about New Zealand and the local surrounds. We had a comfortable ride and despite the rain had a fabulous time! Thanks Grant and Cheeky Kiwi for the tour!

My trip to the Shire

My trip to Hobbiton was amazing. During the drive from Auckland, the driver shared a lot of interesting facts about the country while keeping the ride very relaxed. Hobbiton itself felt like a true getaway to the Shire. Despite the occasional rain shower, it was wonderful and breathtaking. On the way back, we stopped at an ice cream parlor, and as we approached Auckland, we received some great tips and recommendations. Thank you so much—I’d do it again in a heartbeat!

Cheeky Kiwi Tours aren’t Cheeky they’re Brilliant

This is the best bus tour we’ve been on. Our Guide Simon was fantastic. He has a great sense of humour, his knowledge of everything NZ is amazing. Professional, fun, friendly, Perfect 👌
