HIGHLY RECOMMEND! - Could not recommend this highly enough. I will be back for more! A magnificent way to see Queenstown and the surrounding scenery. The team thought of everything and were professional and well prepared (the herbal tea to warm up half way through was very much appreciated). The bikes were easy to use, safe and our guide (Shay) was considerate of all riders and their experience levels and took good care of us. I loved it. If you are doing a ride in winter, rug up - it gets colder than you think (we were provided with extra jackets and balaclavas if needed) However, it was a unique and fabulous way to experience our time in QT and i can't wait to go again.

Awesome Tour - Our tour was amazing, my husband and I had so much fun. We got to see so many beautiful views and take amazing pictures. Our guide Jordan was so friendly and helpful, very informative too. At the end the company sent us the photos and videos of our tour that Jordan took of us and an edited Relive video which was awesome. I think the best way to get go know a city is always a bike tour, faster than walking and you can visit and see places that a car or bus cant access, you exercise and have a blast. Thanks very much, wonderful experience!

Must do experience - On March 23rd Tom and Anne from Australia did a Ride to the Lake tour in Queenstown. We had originally booked to do the Ride to the Sky tour. We were glad that we had changed our mind. We had varied scenery, rides through the bush and had several informative stops. We really enjoyed this ride. The provided photos were exceptional. We highly recommend this tour. Not bad for a couple in their mid seventies.

Family friendly gorgeous ride! - Shay is the best guide ever! Attentive but allowing plenty of freedom for us to explore. He told hilarious jokes, suggested fun games, and kept the kids motivated the entire time.
The bike trail was breathtaking, plenty of varieties and easy to navigate with the e-bike. Definitely the best way to explore around Queenstown.
The terrific follow-up photo and video packet was unexpected but most appreciated! Amazing recap video too with the location of each photo.
Thank you!!! Will definitely book it again when we are back in town.

Ride to the Lake - The 3 hour Ride to the Lake is a great outing. The ebikes are very good bikes and even if you have never been on an ebike, you will be taught the handling quickly. Shay and Amber are knowledgeable guides and it is a very safe ride. Definitely an activity in Queenstown that I would recommend.

Best Ebike Tour - We’ve done E Bike tours all over the world and this was the best. The quality of the bikes were amazing and Ksena was the best guide. Besides telling us about the scenery we were seeing he taught us a lot of mountain biking techniques we can use at home. Epic ride!
