Joseph did a fantastic job as our tour guide. Knowledgeable, funny and incredibly professional. The weather unfortunately caused part of my planned expedition to be cancelled but Joseph and the team kept us apprised at all times. Highly recommend this tour by Cheeky!

Absolutely amazing experience with Jeff, our tour guide for the day. There were plenty of bathroom stops and snack stops along the way. The mini bus with 16 passengers is definitely the way to do it. It’s pricier, but the experience and comfort is worth it. During our initial stop at Hooker Valley, where Mt Cook is viewable, there were clouds covering the summit (still gorgeous). We proceeded with the tour, but before we left that area, Jeff changed plans so we could all see the summit without obstructions! Would highly recommend this tour, and if you get Jeff as your guide, I can guarantee you won’t be disappointed a single bit.

Great way to travel long distance without your own vehicle. Loved the pit stops and sights along the way. Michel is a great guide - friendly and informative. Would recommend for anyone staying in Queenstown that wants to visit Mt. Cook for a day trip. (We LOVED the orchard/ice cream last stop!)

Excellent tour, our guide Joe was very attentive and informative and the scheduled photo opportunities were timed perfectly to allow bathroom stops and to stretch our legs. Would highly recommend Cheeky Kiwi Tours.

I had an incredible host, Jeff, who went above and beyond to make our experience great. Despite some rain, we still went about our itinerary, and Jeff even substituted alternatives to make sure our trip was fulfilling. He was knowledgeable about the area and its history. I recommend this tour for all.
