5.00We actually don't do the wine tour. Started in Arrowtown (cute gold mining outpost) and winded our way back to Queenstown. Super paths, well marked. Mostly rural. Lunch in small town, 11th Ave, nice place for foodies in the middle of nowhere. We took the less traveled route from there, went through Hugo tunnel, spectacular. This trip is for active people. The alternative is a jet boat tour who like passive thrills. Guided who drove us out to Arrowtown were super helpful and laid back. Didn't think we would need the e-bike but was so glad to have it on very up and down terrain. Strongly recommend!
Riding through paradise.

5.00Although that actual tour didn’t really take place due to the “ horrific “ and terrible weather forecast given by the tour operator Jay has made it way possible to at least by giving me options and that was sorting myself with a bike and a map of “ thrilling “ and “ scenic “ trails to bike into. This is by itself a huge bless for me to actually make it without worrying about the rain in a designated area that has a normal weather forecast this truly indicated how flexible and innovative the going blue team was. I would love to sincerely thank Liam for actually monitoring my ride along that and checking after my ride. Althought I didn’t make it before dusk to office we managed to meet up in a location and given the bike back. So a lot of flexibility that made the true journey happening instead of canceling them out. Thanks Jay, thanks Liam. I truly enjoyed the tour. 👍🏾 and hope to book with you again in the foreseeable future.

4.00At the junction of the red trail and the orange trail it was a bit confusing as to which trail continued on and which trail led to the Gibbston winery. Additional signage would be useful to direct trail users continuing on the red trail as the small sign on the turn wasn’t clear (e.g. winery trail continues here). Also the meeting point in Arrowtown was not clear as several lots appear when you do a google search so clearer instructions to the meeting spot should be provided. For those meeting up with the group, street names and a pin in the initial instructions would be great. Overall bikes were in excellent condition and easy to ride. A great day and highly recommend!

5.00The Valley of the Vines e bike wine tour is by far the best thing you can do in Queenstown, nothing else even comes close for the price. The ride is incredibly scenic and easy, and the e bikes make the whole experience relaxed and fun. Cruising along rivers, across bridges and through vineyards at your own pace is the perfect way to spend the day. The wineries along the way are excellent, the freedom to stop whenever you like is unbeatable, and it is incredible value for money. I take everyone who comes to stay with me on this tour, and it is always the highlight of their trip. I would recommend it to absolutely anyone visiting Queenstown.
