The guide of our tour on 16 April was Phoebe. She managed our group of 4 riders well, and was incredibly patient with my friend who had some difficulty with the ride. Overall the ride was very enjoyable. To note that there are several sections of incline and decline, some with sharper turns. The ride was well paced, with rest stops and driver Hayden meeting us at the stops where we had the option to stop biking and hop back on the bus instead. The wine tasting at the end of the tour at Kinross was superb too. Our sincere compliments to Phoebe and Hayden for being so encouraging and assuring.
Weather can be changeable, so bring layers—-a vehicle will portage your bag and meet up with you several times to switch attire (and offer a drink of water and/or a snack) if you need. T.H. and Jody were attentive, making sure we had a good experience. The scenery was magnificent, even in the rain! We even got to stop and watch bunny jumpers from the Kawarau Bridge! The winery offered tastings from several different vineyards and our host was knowledgeable about wines and the local history. All in all it was a fabulous afternoon and highly recommend it.
The route was absolutely beautiful. Phoebe our guide was very nice and made sure we were safe and enjoying ourselves. Took lots of pictures
Thanks so much for sharing your delightful experience! It's wonderful to hear how much you enjoyed the breathtaking route and great company. Phoebe certainly has a way of making everyone feel welcomed and secure, while capturing those priceless moments along the way. Your kind words warm our hearts, and here’s to more picturesque journeys in the future. Looking forward to having you join us again for more amazing adventures!
We had a super tour today with bike guide Bruna and driver Graeam . Both really friendly, professional and knowledgeable. Would def recommend this tour
We are so glad you had a great time with Bruna and Graeme! We hope you can join us on tour again in the future!
We really enjoyed our bike ride with Ben and Riley despite it being a rainy day. Got to see some wildlife and bungee jumpers over the incredibly turquoise waters of the river. Ended our trip with some good wine tasting. The guides were both very enjoyable to talk with adding to our very positive experience of our first trip to New Zealand!
Kia Ora, Thank you for leaving a great review, we really appreciate it. Ben and Riley are really great guides and we are happy you got to experience a great trip even if the weather wasn't on your side. We hope you have a lovely trip and enjoy the rest of your time in New Zealand.
My husband and I booked online based on other reviews. While we enjoyed it, it was not exactly what we expected. Because it said “guided” tour, I assumed we would be stopping periodically with explanation/information/history on the area. Instead it was just an ebike ride with a guide with a stop at the end at one winery. The winery was okay but it happened to be very crowded when we were there, so the rep at the winery was dealing with several groups at the same time. All in all we enjoyed it but I’m not sure it was worth $200/person.
My husband and I had a fabulous bike ride with Fabian (and Riley driving the back-up vehicle). The bike ride was a real highlight of our trip to Queenstown. First time on an e-bike, great fun and lets you do as much or as little cycling as you want. Finishing the bike ride in a vineyard with a tasting was the icing on the cake.
What a great way to end our two week vacation through out New Zealand. Queenstown had beautiful scenic views to offer and we had a chance to see a good portion of it. Love the luxury of the ebikes, for when your legs get tired (and they will), then just turn the motor on and go go go. Our guides, Fabian and Ben were fantastic and true Queenstown originals. They hooked us up with a great wine tour and memories. Thanks guys, next time we are in town, pints are on me.
Hello There Thanks so much for taking the time to leave such a great review! Those ebikes are such a great tour and I am so glad to hear you loved it! What lovely things to say about Fabian and Ben, they really are great guides. it was such a pleasure hosing you here and we hope to see you again someday soon!
We booked this guided ebike experience with my parents when they visited. We were instructed wonderfully by Ben our guide, who made sure we knew how to use the ebikes and let us know some fun facts about the area while we cycled through the area even going over some really large suspension bridges. The ebikes made the experience so much more fun by taking some of the more strenuous leg work out of the ride especially for my mum who doesn't often ride. We ended our ride with a tasting flight at the Kinross winery were we got to sample some fantastic local wines! Well worth it!
Hello Clo Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us such valuable feedback. We are so glad you enjoyed your tour with Ben and that the who family enjoyed the ride. Hopefully we will see you in Queenstown again soon!
