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.

Awesome experience with Joseph - Joseph was handling our shuttle and he was extremely helpful and punctual. He gave us relevant info about landmarks, and went out of his way to make it as convenient for passengers as possible. Handling a group of people with mixed destinations can't be easy yet it felt very easy and convenient. Props to him and to Cheeky Kiwi travel to make to it all possible. Would highly recommend

Very professional guide and company ~ highly recommended! - John was a fantastic guide and driver and made it a memorable experience. He was kind enough to go out of his way to drop us off at our B & B since we were the only people on the tour going one way. A very enjoyable day!

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.
