Our tour guide Grant from Cheeky Kiwi was amazing! Made our trip to Hobbiton smooth and seamless. Hobbiton itself was surreal. Good value for money.

Great pickup and narrated travel experience, Jeoff was a great driver and excellent guide. Truly once in a lifetime opportunity and Cheeky Kiwi helped to make it happen. The tour guide at Hobbiton was less than stellar, but that had nothing to do with CK.
