Fun day out - Fun way of touring the wineries! The first leg (from the farm to the first winery) was a bit challenging for someone not used to riding a bike (some steep areas or tight corners) but then flattened out and very easy after that. A really enjoyable day.

Really great fun!! - Really great day out and would highly recommend! Nice to be able to choose which wineries to go to and a lovely cycle route- definitely recommend e-bikes as imagine quite intense cycling without and then less time for wine tasting!

A rewarding experience - We were able to move our reservation up a day due to predicted rain. The e-bike upgrade was very reasonable also and we were able to make the 60k loop to Arrowtown and back during the day ride. Manager of shop was very pleasant and accommodating before and after our ride. Strongly recommend.

10 out 10 experience. - Big shout out to our Welsh bike guide (very friendly and knowledgeable) who took us out to our pick up point on Nov 7. We did 3/4 day electric bike tour and my wife and I had an awesome day with the sun shining and fantastic vineyards tasting.

So much fun! - One of our favourite experiences in Queenstown! Such a beautiful place to explore and be outdoors. We had transport to the bikes and then free rein to get to as many wineries as we wanted to. The bike trail has incredible views and it puts such a fun twist on a wine tour! Cannot recommend this enough. If you’re in Queenstown you HAVE to book this in! :)

Poor receptionists but the tour is great. - The driver and bike does are great but the receptionist were kind of rude. They're not helpful if you have any questions aside from locating the site.

Something different and very fun! - Pick up and drop off from central Queenstown makes this experience easy. After heading out to pick up our bikes, we were shown how to use the ebikes and given instructions to send us on our way. The ride is decent, some steep edges and narrow paths but decent quality the whole way. Important to note: there is a suspension bridge and its a decent height that may be difficult for people with any fear of heights or falling. Once you get to the winery areas there is plenty of options. Would recommend taking yourself a backpack if you plan on buying any wines whilst out.

RUDE - Around the basin. Very rude. Just got off the bus back in Queenstown and omg I didn’t know people could be so rude. Got on the bus at 3:52, 7 mins earlier than scheduled. We left in a rush to pick other people up from different wineries so we insisted to ask if we could quickly go in and get a bottle of wine at the time cause we had no hands to hold the bottles while riding the bikes, we got to the winery at 3:56 and we still were not required to be on the bus yet but as we insisted to ask to buy a bottle of wine and whilst waiting for the people to finish there wine tasting and board the bus we were immediately shut down and said if we leave the bus we would be left at the winery. We unfortunately did not get our bottle of wine. We then waited another 5mins for everyone to board the bus. Then on our way home the other groups on the bus were dropped to there apartments while we were not asked or instructed to provide our address so we could get dropped to our hotel.
