Matamata Passeios

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.

A very lovely experience on the whole! Loved both the Waitomo Caves tour and the Hobbiton Movie set tour. All the guides were very clear and professional in their explanation, with drops of humour. Rachel the bus driver and main guide was also very reassuring, responsible and clear in instructions. we saw many lovely free range sheeps and cows along the way. very valuable for money. the coach bus was also comfortable!

It was magical Hobbiton Movie Set and the Glow Worm Caves. Great day tour! Great lunch too. Kudos to our guide Richard even though his new, He tried his best to make it memorable for us. Highly Recommended tour with Cheeky Kiwi Tours.

This is a review from someone who has never watched The Lord of the Rings. Overall, the tour was efficient, enjoyable, and very smooth from start to finish. The bus stop near the Sky Tower was easy to find, and the staff kindly helped me when I asked. I had accidentally booked a one-way ticket, but they informed me in advance so I could change it to a round trip — something to keep in mind! Our driver, Todd, was funny, engaging, and very kind. At the Waitomo Caves, the guide explains everything as you walk through. The main highlight, the boat ride, is a no-photo area, but you can purchase a composite photo afterward. The Hobbiton tour lasts about two hours, with plenty of time to take photos without rushing. Even without knowing the movie, I still enjoyed the beautiful, storybook-like scenery. My husband, who is a fan, said it was the highlight of our New Zealand trip. It was a full and very satisfying day — definitely worth the price!

Really enjoyed the experience. Smooth van transfers to and from the Hobbiton site from Auckland and the vehicle is really comfortable. The tour guide on the Hobbiton tour is really knowledgeable that you get to experience the full movie yourself. The movie set is unbelievably amazing and looks just like the movie.

It was a great day. Hobbiton was whimsical and detailed with a delicious lunch, Waitomo caves were beautiful, and the drive from Waitomo back to Rotorua was an experience of itself with breathtaking views

Our tour guide, Adil, was very professional and friendly. He introduced us to New Zealand's history, animals, food, and some interesting stories. He also gave us very helpful advice when we arrived at attractions, which was truly wonderful! Hobbiton was my favorite part of the North Island tour. Even if you haven't seen the movies, you definitely won't regret coming here; it's just too beautiful.

My family and I had a great time exploring the Hobbiton Movie Set. David, the driver/guide, was super friendly and humorous. The buffet lunch was great! Overall, the experience was fantastic!

Great time with this tour. Gabby was amazing and we enjoyed our time with her. The places we went were so scenic and worth it.
