Wonderful Day with Perfect Hosts - We were greeted extremely warmly by Charlotte and her partner (I'm so sorry I forget your name). We actually made the booking for the wrong day - but it was no problem for them. They made sure we had sunscreen, bike helmets, and knew how to use the bikes properly. Charlotte took us out and showed us how to use the electric option. Our ride was stunning - lovely paths past animals and nice views. We made a mistake a and took a wrong turn and went completely out of our way (by no means their fault as we had a map - we just didn't pay attention). Charlotte drove out and retrieved us - and then plopped us in a good spot to be on our way to the winery. We loved the winery, the biking, and most of all, these lovely people who couldn't have been kinder. FIRST RATE!

E-bike from Arrowtown - The staff were great to deal with, set us up with Moustage e-bikes and recommended a great trail to ride as well as where to stop for food and drink. When we had an issue with a bike they came out immediately and swapped it out.

5 bridges scenery to die for - Meg and Lucas made the whole experience so easy and pleasurable, which was no mean feat when we had such a large and diverse group - ages 4 to 70 and 11 of us! Everyone said it was the best experience of everything we did in queenstown, gorgeous scenery, awesome bridges and the ebikes made it doable for the newbies. Finishing off at the wineries was the icing on the cake. Thanks so much for making it such an amazing day!

Best bike day - Went on an amazing bike ride through Arrowtown towards some wineries. Sun was shining, river was flowing, beers were cold, dogs were cute, friends were laughing, definitely the best day to say goodbye to the summer. Thank you Better By Bikes, for finally giving me a taste of good gears. Will definitely go back :)

A Must do - If your reading this you are probably contemplating booking. DO IT! This is one of the best things you can do while in the area. Your travel through outstanding scenery, all off-road on an easy track (easier still on an E Bike). We rode out to the Gibbston valley where you are confronted with a choice of vineyards and eateries. so you spend an hour or so generating a thirst and arrive at one of the best places in the world to kill it. And then if the idea of the ride back doesn't float your boat simply ring the folk at Better by Bike and they will come and pick you up! What's not to like? Trust me this is well worth doing.
