Great E-bike tour of Wellington - This was a great way to see more of Wellington and learn from a local. Our guide, Dylan, was awesome. Helpful, knowledgeable and interesting. He made the tour so enjoyable. Great views from the top of the hill and the gelato was a nice treat to finish.

A great guide - Tara - and great views. - Tara did a great job leading us and providing interesting information and stories. The bikes were in great shape and very easy to operate. There was one steep long hill but with the E bike assist it was easy. We were happy we took the morning tour as the route wasn’t very busy but got busier on our return so is probably very busy later in the day with pedestrians, runners and other riders.

Wellington guided bike tour - Awesome tour. Tara our guide was super friendly and knowledgeable. She made sure everyone was comfortable riding as a group. She fixed my bike during the ride after I got loose on the pump track! Lots of interesting information about Wellington. European aspects and Māori legends. Highly recommended.

A great way to have a... - A great way to have a look around Wellington with guides who have good knowledge of the area and its history. The 2 Jack’s were great guys and were funny while being serious about safety and making sure everyone was having a fun ride. We had a calm day it would be when windy Wellington was at its best! The icecream at the end was an unexpected bonus - passion fruit flavour well worth it!

Enjoyable cycling tour - We really enjoyed our e-bike tour around Wellington harbour. Mostly easy cycling with one steep uphill to a great viewpoint, definitely appreciated the boost given by the e-bike on the steep uphill! Our guide, Jack, was really informative and chatty and the ice cream stop near the end was an added bonus! A fun way to spend a few hours in Wellington.
