Excellent - Great driver/tour leader, everything was smooth, would recommend. Hobbiton is a special place and we were appreciative of the ability to do a one-way transfer.

Great holiday opener!!! - Wow what an amazing way to start our holiday … very early start but that suited us as we started to adjust our body clock. Ale the guide was friendly, musing and extremely knowledgeable, with a coffee stop on the way, so the trip to Hobbiton passed quickly. The tour was absolutely amazing and the weather was kind to. We were the only ones on our tour doing the one way trip. so Ale dropped everyone else off at Te Puia, then helped us to organise our own visit for tomorrow, sadly not the evening experience as all fully booked, and then showed us other options we had before dropping us safely to our hotel… over and above service!! Highly recommended

Great Tour - We had such a lovely day on the Cheeky Kiwi tour! Our tour guide Alfredo was great and very knowledgable about New Zealand. Van was very new and super comfortable, they even gave us snacks on the journey which were much appreciated. Loved Hobbiton and got dropped off at our accom in Rotorua. Overall a great day!

Hobbiton is a must-do and convenient way to get to Rotorua - The whole experience with Cheeky Kiwi is wonderful. They proactively contacted me to confirm the pick up time and place. Matt picked me up at exactly the time specified, the coach is very comfortable. He briefed us every detail making sure everyone enjoys the trip. I reached Rotorua around noon leaving lots of time to explore the town on my own. Seeing the Hobbiton is so magical and the 2 hour guided tour just too short! Doing it one-way is convenient to get to Rotorua without driving. Definitely recommend this tour to everyone.

Hobbiton Rotorura one way - Hobbiton was a good tour.Cheeky Tour person was just ok. A late pickup, blended tour groups, and some confusion is the reason for the rating.
