Great tour with a great guide

We had a fantastic day on the tour and got more than we expected thanks to our guide Grant. We were well looked after with complimentary water and snacks, and given a wealth of information by Grant throughout the day, making the travelling portions all the more enjoyable. Grant was a joy and really made the day, give that man a raise.

YOU SHALL NOT MISS THIS!

Awesome Tour with CheekyKiwi, pickup time is sharp and way before the schedule time, be sure you arrive at least 15mins before the pickup lol. Jason is a great driver, smooth journey from akl to Waitomo Caves then the most exciting Hobitton Tour. He even shared us all the kiwis quick facts & tips around. Highly recommend to everyone ^_^

Not good memories

Hobbiton itself has no issue but the tour company is not providing good service and letting travelers have good memories in tour.
