Traveler Reviews

An amazing way to see the city. You get to see things you miss from a car and you cover more ground than walking. Awesome communication right from booking. Hospitable and knowledgeable staff. Great quality bikes. Excellent value for money. Perfect location. Highly recommended

Our guide gave us breaks along our tour at relevant points. Plenty of time to get used to the gears for all of us. Great tour around Oriental Bay share path, past the airport and on to a cafe stop on Shelly Bay.

First time on e bikes and really enjoyed may now even consider purchasing some to enjoy our own home town .

I took a friend who had lived in Wellington 12 years ago for a birthday treat and we had the best experience. We would both highly recommend this tour - the bikes are easy to ride, and the guide has great stories which enhance the tour. Coffee with a sea view and then the climb for the high view on the way back are highlights. We felt very safe and any hazards such as road works were well managed ahead of coming across them.

Had a great time and great staff. Fantastic team and bikes. Fun to ride an e bike for the first time.
