The tour was well organized, informative, and enjoyable from start to finish. It was fascinating to learn about the history and behind-the-scenes details of the set. The scenery was stunning, and there were plenty of opportunities to take memorable photos.
The comfortable luxury van made the journey relaxing and pleasant, allowing us to sit back and take in the beautiful scenery along the way.

The Greatsites bus driver/guide, Anthony, was hospitable, knowledgeable, accommodating,very kind and entertaining;he goes the extra mile;helped us bring our souvenirs back to the bus before the Hobbit tour started because we did not have time to go. We made another toilet break on the way back to Auckland,which was helpful. Anthony always had a smile on his face;made sure we were all safe, and looked after each other.Anthony is quite an asset to have. Thank you for the pleasant day Anthony. WAITOMO caves:the tour guide was very knowledgeable funny and helpful friendly.We felt the history of the place. It was like being in the movie Avatar with the cute glow worms shining their natural glow around us. HOBITTON: The set is wonderfully made. This was my wife’s anniversary present because I love LOTR so so much. The feeling was surreal. The tour guide helpful and knowledgeable. I wish we had more time overall. but we did have a large group also. Highly recommended tour.

I had an unforgettable experience on the Cathedral Cove tour booked through Klook! Booking was seamless and stress-free from start to finish. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking, but what made the trip truly special was our incredible guide. My guide is David were friendly, professional, extremely knowledgeable, and kept everyone safe while sharing fascinating local insights. Everything was perfectly organized and punctual. I couldn't have asked for a better day trip—it was worth every cent and highly recommended

I really enjoyed my visit, especially our tour guide, Dave from Cheeky Travel. He made the tour so much fun and made sure to explain everything we were seeing along the way. His knowledge and enthusiasm made the experience even more enjoyable. Rotorua is truly a must-visit destination—I absolutely loved my time here and can't wait to come back!

The guide was very humorous and witty, and their photography skills were also quite good. I initially thought it would be tiring, but it wasn't at all. Inside, you can see not only fireflies but also many stalactites. I highly recommend checking it out. We drove ourselves there, and the location wasn't hard to find.

If the app offered more than 5-stars, this one was definitely a solid 10-star experience. Our guide, Alessandro, had the humor, wit and presence that made the whole trip very memorable - he was very funny and knowledgeable, the 2-hour trip to and from Hobbiton was an entirely different experience. Our family has been through so many travel guides, and by far, Alessandro of Cheeky Kiwi is a paramount best! What an experience of a lifetime.

Our tour guide Damian made our experience so unforgettable! 10/10 ⭐️He’s very knowledgeable and engaging with telling stories of Auckland’s history, tidbits about Hobbiton, and facts about how the Waitomo caves. We had a group of 6 and it was very intimate where he made sure we were timely, but never rushed us. The 12 hours flew by so quickly. Would definitely recommend Damian and Bush and Beach company for anyone going to New Zealand.

Visiting hobbiton is a must when you go to New Zealand. The tour is not to jammed pack and it is just the right pace. The tour guide is very knowledgeable and approacheable.
