John from cheeky kiwi was great. Had loads of knowledge and made extra special stops, making the experience that much better. Transport and tickets were smooth and the travel was comfortable. Snacks and water provided. John took us to a good lunch stop to refuel.
Informative and friendly service from Mike & Joseph

Both the Hobbiton tour and the Waitomo Caves tour were informative and enjoyable. The service provided by Mike & Joseph made the time spent in the bus comfortable because they both were informative and friendly. Suggestion for improvement: Provide us with more information about how frequent to stop for restroom breaks and snack/lunch breaks would have been very helpful!

If you are thinking twice about this tour, just book it! Don, our driver/tour guide, made this trip enjoyable! He made sure everyone had fun. He was also a great and safe driver! Hobbiton and the Glow Worm cave were amazing and not to be missed when in NZ! Thank you Cheeky Kiwi! Give Don a raise! He is the best!
