5.00We used Cheeky Kiwi for several tours through the North and South Islands of New Zealand. Their guides were consistently good and on time. They were knowledgeable about the area and friendly. The vehicles were clean. I would definitely book them again for any tours they offer.

5.00Lovely trip to Tekapo from Christchurch. The bus was very comfy and new and our guide, Grant was funny and friendly. Tekapo was so blue and the snow capped mountains gave a great frame to it.
