I love Cheeky Kiwi and our lovely tour guide (Mairi). It was snowing hard the past few days and the snow was very thick when we visited Mt Cook so I wasn’t able to do any of the hiking. Still I was amaze with the views and how much snow there was!! The Tasman Glacier was also closed so I wasn’t able to see it. I love that Cheeky Kiwi has wifi on the bus and they offer snacks. I feel well taken care of during the tour. Mairi was super accommodating and also patient. It was raining when we went on tour and Mairi would come out of the car just to make sure the stair was working. I am so grateful! I also enjoyed our stop over at an orchard! Big thank you from me and the amazing team of Cheeky Kiwi.

From Queenstown: Mt Cook & Tasman Glacier Viewpoint Day TourReviewed byKaren,15/06/2025

It was amazing, the tour guide was really kind, stopping everytime we wanted to take a photo. The whole activity is just perfect, it is not like there is an exact part of the tour that is better than others, all of the are breathtaking. The only negative point I could give to this activity is the stop for the river jet. It is a bit expensive (120$ for 30 min) and for those who dont wanna do it is like wasting 90min of our time. Anyway, at least the view of the river from the top was astonishing

From Christchurch: Arthur's Pass Guided Day Trip with LunchReviewed byMarcos,15/06/2025

Great experience all around! The driver/guide, Anuj, was friendly, considerate and attentive offering just the right amount of commentary. Everything was timed perfectly without being rushed or having to hang around too much and the bus was comfortable and well maintained! The stop offs on the way back were all great and would be easily missed without the insight of the guide. All in all, was a great day with a fantastic train ride, waterfalls, and gorgeous scenery. Highly recommend!

It was one of the best tours I've ever had ¡ we visited not just Mt. Sunday but many other hidden jewels. Big thanks goes out to Sheryl for making one of my dreams come true and showing us the beauty of New Zealand 🙏🏼
