5.00A fantastic day! The Go Blue peeps rigged us up and got us on our way with great service and smiles. The trails were so scenic and well maintained, and so were our e-bikes. All great equipment and safe. Reassuring for our first time on them and they made our ride so much more enjoyable. Stopped at 3 wineries along the way, all great with nice food also. Not having to ride back to Queenstown and being collected in the shuttle was the icing on our cake. It was one of our favorite days of our trip.
Recommend the Valley of...
