Traveler Reviews

You are picked up from Queenstown and driven in a very nice bus to Arrowtown where you are given a briefing on riding through the Gibbston Valley. It is well organised and the bikes and equipment are pretty good. The cost is only your bike hire and transfer to and from Arrowtown - you get collected from a smallish pub in the Valley on the return run (or where ever else you might be). The scenery is great and the ride is very enjoyable. What was disappointing was the proprietors of the wineries ripping off the tourists. You sample very small quantities of wine at very high prices. That kind of ruined it for me and made the day disappointing. Effectively you pay up to $30 for the equivalent of one small glass of wine (120mls).

Amazing time with incredible views of the area! Wine was incredible with great variety! Would highly recommence this experience just dress warmly!

Was a gorgeous ride and bought some great wine. Only problem was the standard bike seats were quite uncomfortable after 8 hrs of biking. Suggest requesting a wider more padded seat if available. Otherwise no complaints!

The staff were friendly, knowledgeable and punctual on pick up times. The bikes were well maintained and easy to ride. We were given maps to follow that were easy to read. Only regret is we wished we’d got the e-bikes instead of the normal bikes! ??. Some parts of the track were a bit more challenging than we expected, and after a couple of wine tastings ... ??
