amazing trip.grant our guide of cheeky kiwi tours was very friendly and supportive .james from hobbiton had a great commentary .we had to choose between tepuia /waitqpo.both cannot be done.tirau was not included in the trip

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! 💚

This trip to Hobbiton movie set and rotatua is awesome! Im not a Ring of Lords fan myself, but i still enjoyed every bit of the tour and all the details explaination. Cant wait to watch ring of lords when i have the chance. The Te puia wonderland is fun and beautiful as well!

Jeoffery our bus captain and guide was a lovely and knowledgeable man who made sure to make everyone comfortable and safe for the entire trip. His humor kept us entertained throughout the trip and made it a really pleasant experience. The rest of the guides at Hobbiton, Rotorua were fantastic, knowledgeable. Kudos to Cheeky Kiwi for making this a really memorable trip for us.

We had an amazing Hobbiton & Rotorua (Te Puia) tour! Our guide, Jeoff, was punctual, very informative, and shared interesting stories along the way. As a LOTR fan, visiting Hobbiton was a dream come true—it involved a lot of walking but was incredibly exciting. The Te Puia tour was also enjoyable and educational. We loved seeing the geothermal valley and spotting the kiwis—it was a real treat! Our van was comfortable, and Jeoff drove safely throughout the tour. The only downside was that there was no proper lunch break. While we stopped by a café at the start, it would have been helpful to be advised to buy a sandwich or snack for later, as the time at Te Puia wasn’t enough to order and eat at the restaurant. Thankfully, we had light snacks like cheese and crackers, but a proper lunch would have made the day even better. Overall, a fantastic experience with a knowledgeable guide and well-organized tour!

This is s must-see and must experience tour. Full pack of exciting tour, sceneries within a day.

took my partner to Hobbiton for our wedding anniversary & it was an amazing experience. You have a private tour guide once you hop on the bus going to the set and you get to go inside the Baggin’s house. Also, 1 free drink at the Green Dragon Inn after the tour. We chose this combo cuz I want to see cultural dance (extra fee) and after the show you’ll have a private guide to walk you around. I recommend to continue walking the long way back after seeing the largest geyser. You’ll find a hidden gem. It was a 10hrs trip but you won’t get bored when you head back to the van cuz Liam interacts with everyone, there’s bottled water if you’re thirsty, he’s got protein bars and chips to snack. He did a servo stop aswell when we requested. As a person who works in tourism and does the same job as him, his service is 10/10 he even recommend a dinner place for me & my partner and even drop us to the resto! So thank you Liam 🫶🏻

Full guided tour, my tour booked was unfortunately cancelled as the staff were down with covid. But fear not. They make a quick arrangement before I even know it. My trip was merge with another local tour. And they did a splendid job. Both parties worth a compliment as they work closely together to make the trip happen. In this trip doesn’t includes lunch. The arranged tour that replace this gave me an option if I would like to add on $35pp to join the rest for lunch in Te Puia , glad I joined. It’s a buffet with dessert -perfect steam cake. -The trip comes with to and back from cdb pick up from Auckland. -the driver is constantly telling stories along the way to Hobitton -must see te puia and discover their local Mari that holds their homeland and serves us to see and discover their culture

The driver was a little late, and there was no New Zealand phone to make calls, which made us feel very troubled while waiting, but the rest of the trip was pretty good.

Cheeky kiwi travels' Michael brought us to the places, on the bus he'll explain and introduce about the different spots. I went for the Te Pua tour, and others went to another tour. At each destination there were other tour guides provided for us.
