It was wounderful. The guide was very enthusiastic, knowledgeable. The village száll but very nice, it is amazing how warm the grund underground your fent. The corn what we received was so delicious. The haka performance was great and our son loved it very much. We had a wounderful day in the village despite the rainy morning and a sunny warm noon.

Hanoz was our guide. He made the 8 in the group introduced ourselves. I enjoyed the caves mostly. My son loves the geysers. Anyway, I love that they were generous with their bottled drinking water and snacks. Their transport allows you to charge your phones. The ostrich feeding experience was fun.

It's a pleasure to embark on this intensely relaxing journey on such a clear day. Besides marveling at the natural wonders created by volcanoes and geothermal activity, the forest hike interspersed with bathing in the woods, and the picturesque hot springs and lake views at the end, truly wash away the physical and mental fatigue brought on by the long journey.

We joined the Rotorua tour with CheekyKiwi Tours and had Jeoff as our driver/guide. He was professional, friendly, and made the journey enjoyable with his humor and stories. Wai-O-Tapu’s geothermal wonders were breathtaking, the Polynesian Spa was the perfect place to relax, and the Rotorua city tour gave great local flavor. Jeoff’s care, attentiveness, and knowledge made the day unforgettable. Highly recommend both CheekyKiwi Tours and Jeoff!

It was an extremely satisfying packaged day tour led by Dave. He was very friendly and caring toward all of us and was super knowledgable of the area as we rode on our scenic drive. Loved the knowledge bits that Dave provided to us. Everything was well arranged and catered for us smoothly including the tickets, and not to mention the comfortable ride in the Mercedes van! We thoroughly enjoyed our Hobbiton and Rotorua tour with Dave! Highly recommend.

Absolutely loved the Hobbiton Movie Set Tour—it truly felt like stepping into Middle-earth! The scenery was breathtaking, the guides were knowledgeable and entertaining, and every little detail of the set was beautifully preserved. The stories behind the filming locations made it even more special. The bus ride from The Shire’s Rest was smooth and well-organized, and the complimentary drink at The Green Dragon Inn was such a perfect ending to the tour. Highly recommended for both fans of The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, or anyone who enjoys nature and storytelling. Definitely worth it—a must-do in New Zealand! 💚
