5.00This tour is an absolute must. Really enjoyable. Bikes were well maintained. Extra clothing available if needed. Guides were making sure we were all OK during the tour. Loads of information during the ride. Absolutely loved the day. Included is a drink or ice cream, which was a bonus. I did the 4 hour tour, loved every minute. Thank you 😊

5.00This was a great bike ride. Went up to the water tanks and had a wonderful view. Ebikes are awesome. Pedal as much or as little as you want. It was pretty windy - when it was a side wind you really had to careful but the guide warned us of this. Don’t hesitate to- easy and great ride with an e-bike.
Have fun in windy city

4.00A very enthusiastic young guide showed us in particular the waterfront and the coast of Wellington Bay. Along the way explanations and history from the Maori to the settlers to the recent earthquakes and the latest wild life project. The electric bike makes it easy despite that one hill and especially the strong gusty wind. Good bikes, great helmets and if you want visibility vest
Great cycle tour!

5.00We had a fabulous trip. Jack was very knowledgeable and made the trip very interesting. Easy cycling except for one steep hill, which wasn’t a problem at all on an e-bike. The ice cream towards the end was also a nice touch. Would highly recommend!
A wonderful experience!

5.00We completed the 3-4 hour e-bike tour of Wellington. It was absolutely stunning and our host really made the trip by providing great historic insights along the way which kept it both fun and educational. We covered 23km which is easy on the e-bike tour and took in some stunning views of Wellington and it's surroundings. Could not recommend this trip high enough!
Stunning Views & Great Guides
