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.

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.
