ABSOLUTELY AMAZING - Christina was an outstanding tour guide—professional, friendly, and easy to connect with. She made our trip incredibly enjoyable and kept the positive energy flowing, after our day of touring the beautiful wineries, by even allowing us to pick our own music! We had a blast playing some trending songs you often hear on the radio that we could all sing along too. We were celebrating a 30th birthday and it topped off the day with the 4 of us. It was great to have a guide who encouraged us to have fun, share some laughs. The e-bikes were incredible, easily handling the trails, and the scenery was breathtaking. Christina provided an exceptional explanation of the multiple wineries, atmosphere of each winery which helped us pick and choose, specific and detailed directions and a thorough explanation of the map provided. Christina also ensured we felt confident and comfortable to use the e-bikes providing her number ready to be contacted at anytime if required. Neck warmers were also offered with the bikes which was great in winter! The information provided prior to the tour was extensive and very informative. The views were something we had never seen before, crystal clear blue waters and beautiful mountains. The bridges were a lot of fun, so many animals along the way and this tour easily was the highlight of our holiday. I wish we had this at home because it was so much fun and absolutely beautiful to witness. We also met some other wine e-bikers who were down to have a laugh and enjoy the experience just as much as we did! Thank you again to Christina and Going Blue, you provided exceptional professionalism and a fun uplifting service to make our holiday even better!

Perfect ride - If you want to experience Queenstown and its surroundings, take a bike ride along the river, through the hills with views of the snow-capped mountains. We encountered many tough mountain bikers, but for us, e-bikes were a must. The bikes were excellent, the paths well-marked, a bit muddy, but otherwise wonderful. The organization is easily accessible, and we could leave the bikes at a place that suited us better. Highly recommended!

Must do! Go for the E-bike - The entire ride is just so scenic! The tour was well organized, the bikes were well maintained and Jake, our driver to and from Arrowtown , was friendly and told us of interesting bits on areas of interest. We got the full day tour and on hindsight we should have gotten an e-bike instead. It gets tiring and the hills are not as easy to manually bike through when you have been biking the entire day. This is one of the best activities we did in Queenstown. Highly recommended.

Excellent personalised service. - Excellent personalised service. Bikes were fantastic, we were well looked after and had a blast riding the trail to the vineyards. We highly recommend E-biking as an activity to explore Queenstown and would definitely use Going Blue again.

Biking the Gibbston Valley Wineries - We’ve just done the Valley of the Vines bike tour yesterday with Jay from “Going Blue” which was great. Punctual for our pickup which was centrally located towntown Queenstown and we were driven through to Arrowtown. Jay was friendly, informative and helpful and set us up well with great e bikes. He informed us where to go for our day biking from Arrowtown to the many wineries. He checked in on us during the day and promptly picked us up at 4pm from a pre arranged venue. 100% recommend Jay & Going Blue for a great days biking of the wineries & there were many other biking options they offered also. We loved it !! 😎😎

Perfect! - One of the most memorable activities my boyfriend and I did while in Queenstown. The guide that picked us up and ripped us off was very nice and informative. I would HIGHLY recommend the e-bikes if you want this to be more of a leisure tour. But the views and trip are spectacular. Also, skip the first two vineyards and start near Gibson Tavern. You will not regret this trip.

Great ride -thank you - We had a great ride doing the wineries. The scenery was amazing and the e-bikes made the ride easy. The wineries were super friendly and well set up. And having a pick up after a wine or two was the best.

Pass. If you can afford something different. - Do not recommend for anyone who can afford to pay for a different experience. Idea is great, bikes are great, but shuttle ride back ruined the day. Christina, our driver, let the bus “dj” all the way back to Queenstown. What a shame. If I was going to be forced to listen to vulgar, obscene music, it should say so in the event description. But alas, it does not. Let this review be your warning. The barely old enough to drink crowd is drunk at the end of the day, and you are stuck riding back to town with them if you pick this tour.
