Fun tour

This was a fun well organized tour. Grant was a great guide and driver and took good care of everybody. He was well spoken, very knowledgeable and very good sense of humor :) We had plenty of time for sightseeing and both places we visited were interesting.

Great experience

Totally enjoyed the trip. Seeing the Kiwi Bird was incredible. Our guide Mark did a great job especially dealing with other passengers who were quite disrespectful to other customers eg late back to bus and demanding needs for themselves with no consideration for other people on the tour. Despite this we had a wonderful day. Would highly recommend the tour to anyone.

Excellent tour, highly recommend

Excellent tour through Rotorua. Long day but did not feel like it. So much packed into a 12 hour day. Ben our tour guide was so great. Had great fun facts, pointing out key places and helped us easily get around. We were lucky with only 5 people on the van. Van was also amazing. Highly recommend Cheeky Kiwi!

Incredible Rotorua tour

The only thing that could have made this tour better is if I had booked it better and added the show. I really wanted to see the show and realized that I had not booked it properly (💯 my fault). Dave was on time and had the tour running like a well oiled machine. He was very clear and concise at every stop when we needed to be back at the van. He had a lot of tips for us as to what to look for, where to spend more time, where not to linger. I loved it!!! There were also many unexpected stops that he added because we were doing well on time. The ride was nice, I just wish we could have had a visit at one of the dairy farms (only because I love visiting farms). The tour was truly awesome
