Traveler reviews
What a wonderful tour and...
What a wonderful tour and day. Both Hobbiton and the Glow worm caves exceeded expectations! Our driver was as nice and engaging as one could possibly hope for. Thank you!
Everytime I booked day...
Everytime I booked day tour by viator. Tour is good but this time management is poor. Small group is a good option but if there's including lunch should be arranged sitting separate is better ( like when in London go to Stonehenge and bath city is good). If in the small group there unfortunately some visitors are selfish aggressive not respect others visitors sitting together and eating will get a horrible experience which can be ruin a good happy travels feeling.
Massive, fantastic Hobbiton and Gloworm day!
What an amazing day! Definitely the highlight of our honeymoon so far! Ale our guide was fantastic, full of interesting info on all things Kiwi! The entire trip was really smoothly done and no hassle with anything, door to door service was great. Loved being able to just enjoy everything as it was so well organised we didn’t have to think of a thing! Lunch was huge and tasty! We have another cheeky kiwi tour booked for Friday and I’m sure it will be great too!!
Amazing day out at Hobbiton & Waitomo Caves
A great day trip from Auckland. You don’t need to be a Hobbiton fan to do this trip I have never watched the films and the set is absolutely amazing and thoroughly enjoyable for any age. The tour lasts around 2 hours and you are given plenty of time to take pictures the group sizes are around 20 people at Hobbiton so you don’t feel over crowded. The lunch stop provided by Cheeky Kiwi was great and a huge menu choice to choose from there was definitely something for everyone here. Next stop Waitomo Caves to see the glow worms great experience if like us you have never seen them. A great tour provided by Cheeky Kiwi if I had one improvement it would be to make less pick ups and make some central points for people to meet but I get the attraction is probably hotel pick ups. Would highly recommend this company
An incredible experience not to be missed!
Thank you Hanoz for an amazing tour today. Wow! What an incredible experience. Thank you for all your tips & knowledge, not only of the tour destinations but of Auckland itself. We can’t recommend this tour enough. Even if you aren’t a big Lord of The Rings or Hobbit fan, you will still be in awe of it. Whilst it took a bit of time to get there, the scenery along the way was beautiful.
