Highly recommended on your first day in Wellington - Excellent trip to go to on your first day in Wellington. You visit the main sites of the waterfront and learn a lot about the city, architecture, history, nature etc. Dylan was my guide and he was great, very knowledgeable, easygoing and fun.

2 up riding - My wife and I rode the tandem and my son had an ebike. We rode out to Karaka bay then up the hill to the prison to take in the awesome views. The climb up was tough going on the tandem but well worth the effort once we reached the top. Highly recommend this activity.

Well spent day! - I started with the intro to Wellington Tour. I’m not generally a tour person, but it was great to learn about sites and history of Wellington that I would have missed if I didn’t. I returned to rent a bike solo after lunch. These bikes a very comfortable and you sit more upright. The wheels are smaller and wider than a traditional bike. I didn’t need to use the electric function much for the Tour but once I took the bike around the peninsula, the extra boost came in handy, especially up steep hills. It’s was remarkably effortless. The guys at Switched on were wonderful and welcoming. They gave me a great route around the Miramar peninsula, which was the highlight of my trip. Pictures are from that ride. Highly recommended!

Amazing day in Wellington! - My girlfriend and I just arrived to Wellington for the first time and we wanted to do a guided tour, not a conventional one but something different. Luckily for us we discovered an intro tour to the city on BIKES! It started at Queens Wharf. We chose electrical bikes which are confortable and perfect to the city, really easy to ride. The bikes give you support if you need it (perfect to go uphill) so it makes the ride very smooth and pleasant. Our tour guide took us along the Waterfront, Te Papa museum, Cuba st, the stadium and other places. We had convenient stops where our guide gave us information about the place, facts about Wellington history or funny anecdotes. We definitely recommend it, specially for those first timers in the city.
