KIWI TOUR WAS AWESOME!!!
KIWI TOUR WAS AWESOME, THE GUIDE WAS VERY NICE AND SO WELL INFORMED OF EVERYTHING NEW ZEALAND, FROM THE START OF THE TOUR TO THE LAST MINUTE OF RETURN, HE SPOKE ABOUT A LOT OF STUFF ABOUT NEW ZEALAND, WE LEARNED SO MUCH STUFF!!! ONLY THING WAS THAT THE TOUR OF THE HOBBITON VILLAGE WAS A LITTLE RUSH, QUASI NO FREE TIME, JUST FOLLOW THE GUIDE, TAKE YOUR PICS AND GO AT THE TAVERN TO HAVE YOUR FREE DRINK VERY FAST, 15M IN THE SOUVENIR SHOP AND JUMP IN THE BUS FOR RETURN!!!

Great day trip to Hobbiton with Cheeky Kiwi Travel
One of my bucket list items for my recent visit to New Zealand was to visit Hobbiton. I checked online for tickets and found a lot of tours. My daughter lives in New Zealand and spoke to people who had booked a tour, so I chose a tour company with a special price for exactly what we wanted to do - just get us there and back with a great tour guide and no other side trips. We booked online through Bookme.co.nz and we were not disappointed. The reservation was easy and quick, our van picked us up at the designated place and time, our driver and tour guide was friendly, professional and entertaining, and we had a great trip. I would not hesitate to book another tour using bookme.co.nz or Cheeky Kiwi Travel. I give both five stars!
