Such great service!

We had a fantastic day on the bikes visiting wineries, Andy gave us a perfect detailed description of the map and a low down on all the wineries, and he even picked us up from the airport and stored our luggage all day. 10/10 value for money, and comfortable bikes!

Great day doing a cycle tour of local vineyards. Karen was super helpful with which vineyards had the best pinot noirs and gave us a great suggestions for lunch. We were picked up and dropped off at our accommodation which was fantastic. Overall a great day was had, thank you

Great time biking and tasting!

Our biking guides and tastings at the wineries were perfect! Nice to have a van following in case anyone tired or tasted too much. Loved the wineries and the people who run them, a great selection and so easy to bike to. Highly recommend this for adults who enjoy wines and being outdoors. This was an excursion for us on a cruise.

Cycling wine Marlborough country

Enjoyed a wonderful day on the bike cycling the back lanes and country roads to 5 or so wineries. Many lunch options and/or places to sit down and soak up the views, the wine and enjoy local cheese plates. Pick-up and drop off to Blenheim motel allowed for ample sampling to take place plus suggestions and tour map made for a relaxing day. Great way to see the area and taste the produce.
