Traveler reviews
Tour guide David was...
Tour guide David was great! Very knowledgeable about the area and friendly. The sites were beautiful. Definitely recommend the spa option.
CHEEKY WIKI TOURS ARE SCAMMERS AND ABUSIVE
I booked with Cheeky Wiki Tours the most expensive option for the Rotorua, Wai-O-Tapu, and Te Puia tour with lunch, specifically to include the dancing performance. It was a significant expense for me, but I paid it because it was my first and only time visiting New Zealand. At the end of the tour, we hadn't seen the haka or any of the dances, and I was told it wasn't included. To make matters worse, when I complained, the guides/drivers made the other members of the group agree with the tour. Then I understood the meaning of an email I had received; it was obvious they hadn't had enough people for the tour I booked, so they decided to put me on a cheaper one, taking advantage of the fact that I'm an older woman traveling alone. The guides couldn't believe what I had paid for that tour when I showed them (although they never gave me a receipt, it was in my bank account).
A day to remember with John
The tour was great! We got to witness amazing landscapes, learn more about Māoris’ history and culture and enjoy both fun and relaxing experiences. Our guide John was very knowledgeable and with great sense of humour, as well as super organized giving us a day to remember with his jokes and great hospitality. I would definitely recommend the tour. P.S. on the wonderland, if you are a fast walker go for the green walk too, it’s worth it.
Not good but GREAT 👍🏼
It was my husband and myself as there was no other booking . Cheeky kiwi was so kind enough not to cancel the tour. Our driver cum guide MAX made us feel like a VIP. He took great care of us and made sure we were well fed and rested in the van . He also offered us snacks. The drive was long and while we slept, he made sure to give us a safe and smooth ride. The company was also very responsive and made all communications seamless. Strongly recommended if you are looking for not good but GREAT guides for your day trip in Auckland.
Excellent
John was a great tour guide! He provided excellent invite into the different sites we visited and was extremely personable.
