We had an exceptional experience with Cheeky Kiwis. Our guide, John, was outstanding—truly a 10/10. He provided a wealth of information throughout the journey, ensuring we gained a deeper understanding of the places we visited. The day was well-paced with ample opportunities for food and rest breaks, and his professionalism was complemented by a great sense of humor, which made the tour both enjoyable and memorable. I would not hesitate to recommend Cheeky Kiwis to anyone considering a tour in New Zealand
