Hobbiton Tour Experience - HOBBITON WAS AMAZING!!!! (An understatement…my husband and I didn’t want to leave) Simon was also such a friendly guide who made a point to make everyone feel comfortable and included. He gave fun facts and information about Auckland and also drove through a bit of the countryside and of Hamilton on the way back which added another layer of adventure! Thanks Simon for being such a great guide! It was a blast!

Honestly, unforgettable - Michael our driver was incredible, he kept us entertained, safe, and informed. We had a nice drive, a truly incredible tour, and overall a day we (well me as the huge Tolkien-nerd) will never forget. Thanks Cheeky Kiwi, without you (and Mike especially) none of this would have been possible. If you’re a nerd—or not—it’s a must!

Very memorable experience - The tour was a pleasure to be apart of, we got to learn more about how the films were made, and a big thanks to our tour guide Simon, who was very friendly and drove us safely to the set, and back to auckland.

Amazing experience - The tour was to sum up in one word amazing. Our driver Grant turned up right on time and greeted us with a enthusiastic smile, once everyone had been picked up he went around and introduced everyone. On the drive to the hobbiton set he was full of facts about Auckland. Once we arrived at the hobbiton set we were greeted by our tourguide taylor who was great and kept everyone entertained. Couldn't recommend this tour enough.

Mike was a great tour... - Mike was a great tour guide and gave us lots of excellent insight about New Zealand and background about Hobbiton. Hobbiton itself was really incredible and certainly worth the time and money to visit!

Will get you there and back safely - There are actually two separate portions with this tour: one is the operator listed who handles transportation from Auckland to the Hobbiton site and back to Auckland, whilst the other is an employee of the Hobbiton site who handles the actual Hobbiton tour. The latter deserves more than five stars as she was excellent. The former gets 4 stars as they didn’t drop people off from where he picked them up, including myself. Nearby hotel, but rather annoying.

Once in a lifetime experience. - Such a fun and unique experience seeing the movie set in person. Our Cheeky Kiwi guide was very knowledgeable and set accurate expectations for the day. The set tour was very informative, hands on, and created a illuminating fun time for our family.
