Highly recommend this tour! The e-bike is a great way to go; the country roads were rolling and the “ride” of the bike excellent. As an avid cyclist, wasn’t so sure at the outset, but I was glad I chose one. Gwen, our guide, was great! She provided local context and is very knowledgeable and engaging. Thoroughly enjoyed our vineyard stops, the vibe was chill, and our hosts were fabulous. Take this trip!
We had a fantastic day biking to 2 wineries in area. Our guide Steve was wonderful and made sure we always had whatever we needed and was very attentive to detail. The wineries we went to were beautiful and we never felt rushed. It was the perfect amount of biking where you felt like you got your legs moving but it was never grueling. Def a favorite day for us!
Thank you so much for this review! It's great to hear you had such a fantastic day and that Steve could help make the experience so enjoyable! I'm glad the pace felt just right and you had time to soak in the beautiful surroundings without feeling rushed. Can't wait to have you join us again!!
The bike tour was just what we were looking for. We opted for e-bikes. Quality bikes! Best way to take in all the areas sites and smells! Gwen was a fun host. She answered many questions for us but also was respectful to the sommeliers. We went to 2 wineries….Quivira and Mill Creek. LOVED QUIVIRA! We had super yummy sandwiches at Mill Creek as well, included in the cost of the bike tour. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the Healdsburg area! LOVED IT!
Thank you for the fantastic review! We're so happy to hear the E-Bike tour was just what you were looking for! We'll pass your kind words along to Gwen, and we're glad you enjoyed the winery stops (and those sandwiches!). We'd love to have you ride with us again soon!!
Calistoga bike and wine tour was great! It’s perfect for the very occasional cyclist. The excursion is the right amount of time. We loved the personal attention at the wineries. Guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. Lunch was good especially the cookies. Would do it again!
Thank you for the great review! It's awesome to hear the Calistoga Bike tour was the perfect pace and experience for you! Hope to see you again soon!!
Had an awesome time. The first guided day was spectacular and enjoyed the winery stops. The other two self guided routes were tailored perfectly to our riding. Beautiful countryside, and the hotel accommodations were perfect. Gateway Adventures knows their stuff and their professional staff could not have been more friendly and welcome.
We really appreciate the 5-star review! So glad you had an awesome time and enjoyed both the guided and self-guided rides. It's great to hear the routes, winery stops, and accommodations were just right!!
Randy and Preston at GetAway Adventures organized a 6 day, self-guided tour through wine country and I am happy to give them 5 stars. The service and assistance they provided are what made our experience truly great. While some of us rented biked from GetAway, I brought my own bike - and Max the mechanic was super friendly and helpful in preparing my bike for the trip. They are a 'family-run' business in the best sense of the phrase. I will definitely book with them again.
Thank you so much for the kind words, it was such a pleasure to be able to host your group! We are so thankful for the business and hope to see you guys again soon! Groups like you guys are why we do what we do!
This was a wonderful experience! Randy was kind, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable. We had a fantastic time, drank wonderful wine, and ate a delicious lunch. I would definitely do this again!
Thank you for the kind words! You're sentiments are exactly what we do--the definition of a perfect bike tour day!
All you want for an amazing day!! Randy was our guide/owner/party-maker, the bikes were impeccably maintained, Holly, his asst, was super hospitable… and we were in wine country, with amazing views, perfect weather and great wineries. But why a bike vs a van or a chauffeur? Well - because you are “fully immersed in the experience”. Feel the micro-climates as you pedal, smell the changes in the soil and flora, and then have the freedom to just stop and appreciate the moment - we are in wine country and it’s beautiful …whooooot!!! To top it all off, my wife was celebrating her 50th. Lunch was extra special with a cake, wines (of course) and laughter. Thank you Randy. Appreciate you and the team. A very memorable and a exceptional experience.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience! We're glad to hear you loved it and that we were able to make your adventure so special! You described perfectly what makes exploring wine country by bike so unique. Thank you for choosing us to be a part of such a memorable occasion, hope to see you again soon, maybe for a kayak tour!!
