Traveler reviews
Smooth travel experience
Trent explained clearly. Because we left so early, we asked everyone if they needed snacks or water before lunch. We also asked everyone if they brought an umbrella because of the occasional drizzle! The itinerary was smooth, and they also inquired about lunch options in advance, so they could eat as soon as they arrived at the restaurant. Habi Village is very beautiful, and the firefly cave is also very special! When you are about to leave the firefly cave, you can take pictures. You can set up the camera beforehand to avoid being flustered.
Amazing Experience with Jeoff
Jeoff is very nice and takes care of us. We feel very comfortable throughout the whole journey. Hobbiton is absolutely beautiful. We had a memorable day!
Excellent full day tour combo from Auckland
This was very fun trip to Hobbiton and the Waimoto Caves. Our guide, Trent, was excellent. Pickup and drop off at our hotel was very convenient. I will certainly look for more tours with Trent and Cheeky Kiwi. Thanks for the great experience. The trip was a full day excursion, leaving Auckland around 6am and returning to the hotel around 7pm. Trent provided well timed rest stops along the journey in a comfortable Mercedes van. This particular tour included lunch with a menu that accommodates most diets. If you are a fan of Middle Earth and have a full day I’d highly recommend this combo tour with Trent and Cheeky Kiwi.
Greatest experience!
Trent was amazing! Very friendly, accommodating, informative, highly recommend this tour! Will be booking again! Hobbiton, glow worms, tour guide A+++
An Amazing Day Trip in New Zealand
We had a wonderful day with our guide, Trent. He was extremely attentive and helpful throughout the entire experience, very punctual, and the transportation was excellent. Trent has an impressive knowledge of New Zealand, its culture, history, and attractions. We visited the Hobbiton Movie Set and the Waitomo Caves, and his knowledge and explanations made the whole experience even more enjoyable. We highly recommend Trent and Cheeky Kiwi Travel and would definitely choose them again!
