John took us for the best ride ever and we have been on lots . The views were incredible and John very informative . We had such fun as we are new to e-bike s and mountain biking .
Hi Emma, Thanks heaps for your review. We're really pleased that you loved the ride. All the best for the rest of your time in NZ
We can absolutely recommend this tour!!!! The landscape is breathtaking, especially when the weather is as fantastic as ist was during our tour. The tour was off road mostly on small gravel tracks, but with the off road E-bikes it was a pure pleasure. However, the highlight was our tour guide John. Extremely sympathetic, friendly, helpful, knowledgable, thoughtful - or simply said, he was a perfect guide. We had also the privilege to have him exclusive that day, since we were the only tour participants and at the end we still got some extra 20 minutes because we liked the tour so much. Said in a nutshell: John is the perfect guide and it is a must do tour.
Hi Thomas, Thanks for your review. We're stoked that you loved the tour and John's guiding style. Hope the rest of your NZ holiday went well. All the best..
We really enjoyed our bike ride with John. The trails were lovely, he was engaging and had lots of fun facts to share on our way. The ride is relatively easy and can be handled by a reasonably competent rider. I'm a MTB-er and roadie and my wife is an occasional rider--she did great. Great way to see another side of Wanaka.
Hi rons754, Thanks very much for reviewing us. We're super happy you enjoyed the tour. We're very fortunate to have such great riding around here. All the best for your future pedaling sessions.
Nice ride on MTB with Scott. Scott is a great guy and a good guide. He spot his clients and what level they are good for 👍. We felt comfortable and safe on the ride, with photo shoots underway. At finish line nice orange juice and delicious muffins. According to Scott, he spent all night for baking ☺️😉. Nice clean bikes well maintained, nice bus for pickup at our accommodation.
Hi Steen, Thanks for choosing us and for taking the time to review us. We're really happy you enjoyed your ride and the "home-made" muffins! Safe travels and hope to meet up again sometime..
