“It was a well organized, super interesting and nice tour! Would recommend it to everyone.”
Hop from Auckland to Waiheke by ferry, then use a day-pass bus with 16 stops for vineyards, beaches, and village wandering.
“We have done a lot of tours in our travels and this tour was one of our favourites. It was very informative and fun. The property that the set is on is really beautiful. Not a difficult walk for most people but there are some hills and stairs that could be troublesome for others. Highly recommended.”
Full-day Auckland tour to Hobbiton and Waitomo glowworm caves with CBD hotel pickup, guided visits, lunch, and a Green Dragon drink.
“Well managed, very informative tour guide, ran on schedule, and delivered on what was promised in the viator agenda. Hobbiton was super cool even if you don’t know the movies, and having a driver to get you there was worth every penny. Only complaint was lunch - which was overall unsatisfying.”
From Auckland, see Hobbiton and Waitomo in one day. Skip the crowds, enjoy a Green Dragon drink, and sail glowworm caves.
“We had an absolutely amazing time on the Hobbiton Tour and Glowworm Caves adventure! The experience itself was magical, but what truly made it unforgettable was our tour guide, Nelson. He was incredibly knowledgeable—sharing fun facts, history, and stories that made every part of the tour come alive. On top of that, he was so kind, friendly, and genuinely passionate about what he does. His energy made the whole day feel easy, fun, and super engaging. We had a blast from start to finish, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Highly recommend this tour—especially with Nelson! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Auckland Scenic tours is the name of their company”

Auckland roundtrip bus to Hobbiton: guided Lord of the Rings set tour, Hobbit-hole visit, festive buffet lunch, and Green Dragon drink.
“Hobbiton was absolutely magical. The bus ride was long, over 2 hours, but very comfortable. our driver, Marty, was very informative and funny. Our guide in Hobbiton, Stevie, was great! It was hard to stop smiling. Beer at the Green Dragon was a real treat, and Lunch at the pavilion was very good. A trip well worth doing if you are a fan of the movies or not.”

“Geoff at Cheeky Kiwi did a really nice job of providing information and details on the New Zealand, Auckland, and Hobbiton on the way there. He also did a good job driving there and back. He had the process worked out and everything ran smoothly. I was impressed with the tour and highly recommend Geoff and Cheeky Kiwi.”

“Great to do our own thing & visit the tourist attractions”
Small-group Waiheke wine tour from Auckland with ferry views, tastings at four wineries, and a long lunch break.
“Great day, great weather and great wine! Justin was the perfect guide, knowledgeable and passionate for the island he calls home. A well-paced day that doesn’t lead to an easy over-serve. Stop for tasting three is also where you have lunch—our only note would be a preference for greater flexibility around lunch (maybe in the town?) and for all four tastings to be just that. The lunch break is more than enough time and the town was so cute, we would have loved to have had greeter options for food.”
