5.00A faultless experience and professional in every way. We were a pair of seniors whose needs were attended to in every way. Our guide Jack was delightful.
Definitely happy we did this tour in Akaroa.

5.00This company was so easy to deal with. We came in by cruise ship and were concerned about the timing of the tour but the owners bent over backwards to accommodate us. They also held all our bags from shopping that morning in a locked office while we road. Jack was a great tour guide who was friendly and professional and focused on safety but also knew a lot about the area. Alaroa is a beautiful area and the lava loop tour provides an awesome perspective from the upper perimeter. The tour was enough to count as a workout without being too strenuous. I would note that there are some tricky areas with lots of wind or some car traffic. These were scary for me but the rest of the ride was relaxing and fun.
Fantastic trip, excellent scenery & guide

5.00This was an incredible, once in a lifetime experience. Grev was so experienced, friendly, accommodating and knowledgeable. We would so highly recommend this to anyone who is interested in exploring Akaroa by bike. The views were spectacular from up the top of the mountain and the e-bike made riding up the steep roads manageable for those with basic to moderate fitness. Grev cared for us and stepped us through any tricky sections of the climb / decent. He really made the experience so worth it!
Absolute blast!

5.00The highlight of our Akaroa visit. We were new to e-biking but Greville had us pedalling up to the tops with ease for some magnificent views. Capped off with a downhill blast home. Can't recommend this more highly.
Loved it!
