Traveler reviews
Very well done!!
Our professional driver was great. Super knowledgeable, safe and did superb job!
Friendly guide and pleasant journey
We had a good experience on our tour from Christchurch to Franz Josef. Our driver and guide, Grant, was very friendly, helpful and accommodating. He even waited for us, which we really appreciated. Unfortunately, it was raining, and as it was also Labour Day, we couldn’t visit or see as many places as we had hoped. Despite the weather and limitations, Grant’s kindness and helpful attitude made the journey pleasant. Thank you, Grant, for taking good care of us!
Lovely touring day
The itinerary was perfect with just the right amount of stops. The staff was very knowledgeable and friendly. In particular our guide Jannis was extremely knowledgeable, pleasant, and had a great sense of humor. Would definitely do the trip again.
Amazing day out!
I cannot say enough good things about this tour! Honestly one of my best travel days yet. I was solo, and my guide, Logan was phenomenal. He had incredible knowledge of the areas, was very accommodating, a great conversationalist, and went above and beyond to make it an amazing day. The cherry on top was a sweet gift from his kids- a rose they made from New Zealand flax leaves. I highly recommend Cheeky Kiwi, and if you’re lucky enough to have Logan as your guide, you’re in for a treat!
Lovely way to experience the West Coast!
Grant and Cosmo were amazing guides! So insightful and polite. Felt very taken care of.
