Weather changed quickly and I made a last minute decision to book the night before. Easy enough on line, but I called in the am to be sure they had our pick-up location. Now know they do WhatsApp, would have called via that instead of activating my US phone, but ok! Great service, info & friendly environment. Pre-self guided info was helpful. Kat was great! Best day all round! Highly recommend. Just let the buyer beware; if it’s rainy or too windy may not be the same wonderful day!
Everything was great, great Service

Unfortunately it was raining and the bikes had no mudguards so ended up with a very soggy bottom Team very accommodating and relaxed about leaving the bikes where we were staying and they picked them up the next day
Great day out

It 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!

We really enjoyed this activity. We were picked up from our hotel in a minibus and taken to the starting point where we collected our bikes. It was all well organised and the bikes were in good working order.Our tour guide explained a little about each vineyard and gave us a small map and then we were left to get on with our own itinery. It would have been helpful to have a little more info about each vineyard written down to take with us, there was a lot to remember. We did get a little lost early on but managed to get back on track quite easily. If help was needed we had a contact number to use. Although we had to cycle on some roads, it felt quite safe as the main roads were very wide but most of the trip involved gravel tracks with minimal traffic. We were given a voucher to use towards a meal at any of the vineyards. It was great fun trying out different wines and enjoying the wonderful cheese platters to soak up the alcohol. There was no pressure at all to buy any wine and the vineyards were very relaxed, we could sit in the beautiful gardens and just enjoy the scenery. If you did want to purchase wine, it could be bought and left at the vineyard and the tour guide would collect it for you so you didn't have to carry any wine on the bikes!
Book this e-bike experience!
