Aoraki/Mt Cook to Queenstown - Our experience with Cheeky Kiwi exceeded our expectations! We had Joe as our guide and he was so knowledgeable on the history and culture of NZ. He was an amazing storyteller and we absolutely loved the tales he told of the Indigenous Māori people and land. It was such a special tour for us. Thank you Joe! We’d book again if Joe was our guide again!!!

Great Trip with Cheeky Kiwi - Our driver Joe had done a great hosting and driving us around. I liked the sightseeing stops and the coffee/salmon/ice cream stops. My experience can't be any better. Lovely way to enjoy my journey! Highly recommended to travel with Cheeky Kiwi!

Fun tour from Mt Cook to Queenstown - I had a great time on the afternoon tour from Mt Cook to Queenstown. Sonya was the best guide and had the coolest stories and facts to share. Definitely a fun ride!

Better safe than sorry ;) - The tour guide was very friendly and kind. She helped me book my trip back from Mt. Cook to Queenstown, even though I had trouble booking it online. She enthusiastically drove us to many hikes around the Mt. Cook area and pointed out which ones were worth visiting. She was also kind enough to drop me off at my hostel. I’m looking forward to watching her movie. It was amazing to hear her story, moving from Russia and transitioning from being a farmer to becoming a tour guide. Unfortunately, I forgot her name, I’m not very good with names, but I sincerely wish her all the best in life.

The best ride! - Very comfortable ride and great commentary about the areas. The photo opportunity stops and rest breaks were nice and evenly spaced. The only downside was the I had to take another vendor from Christchurch TO Mt. Cook (I traveled one way from Christchurch to Queenstown, with an overnight stop in Mt Cook village)!

Wonderful tour - Tour guide Marry was excellent at storytelling. During the journey, she shared the story of Matakauri, which was truly touching. She also provided information about Arrowtown and Queenstown, and gave informative answers to our questions about possums. The tour was well-organised and everything ran on time.

Mediocre - Very crowded and very expensive. Driver was courteous and friendly and dropped everybody at the hotel. Seats did not recline.
