5.00It was great—I had an amazing experience! The organisers picked me up from my Airbnb and even dropped me off at the airport after the tour. I got a free upgrade to an electric bike (at the price of a standard one) since I couldn’t do the full tour due to time constraints. The ride and the tour were incredible, and the wine tasting was just perfect. I loved every minute of it!

4.00Great day. Very helpful staff. Would have been helpful for planning to have the map sent ahead with a few potential routes or timing as some places required reservations- particularly on cruise boat day.
Beautiful Biking in Marlborough!

5.00What a fun day biking through the Marlborough vineyards! The bikes provided were quite fine and perfect for the day! Before taking off, a map and suggestions/ideas for our day’s journey were offered which were very helpful! The vineyards and surrounding mountains offered spectacular scenery! We stopped at 3 vineyards along the way and had plenty of time to relax, enjoy and soak in the Marlborough beauty! Would highly recommend this day trip to any wine lovers passing through the Marlborough region!
Fun way to taste wines
