Thank you!!!

15mins into the start of our ride, my wife had a panic attack and refused to keep going. Bad biking memories. I called for a pick up at the starting point. Izzy and team accommodated us without hesitation. Kudos to you all! Thank you for your understanding. I’m gutted coz I really wanted this ride but will have to postpone.

Perfect

This ride was exactly what I hoped it would be but the vistas were exceptionally better than I could every imagine!! The whole experience right from the pick up shuttle driver ‘Mike’ giving lots of tour guide advice to the well maintained, well marked trail routes! Will absolutely recommend

Beautiful area

Lovely ride particularly the gibbston Valley and finishing at vineyard was great. Company driver was very quiet. Would probably just hire bikes in arrowtown and save some money

Such an awesome experience!

They were absolutely lovely right from the get go. The ride to Queenstown was entertaining with all the trivia provided to us. I was quite nervous about biking and they made me feel at such ease. Definitely recommend!
