FANTASTIC 10 OUT OF 10! - This is the best tour I have ever taken. It was a 3 hour tour. There were 6 family members ranging from 16 to 71 years of age and Shay our guide was fantastic. On the day we arrived it was raining, and he was happy to wait an hour until it eased. We were given protein bars and drinks. The helmets and gloves were spotless and cleaned after every use. I was hesitant with the big hills, but with Shay's encouragement I managed to do them. The scenery was fantastic. My husband and I have done multiple bike tours around the world and this was by far the best, absolutely incredible. Thank you for making our holiday in Queenstown New Zealand so memorable and given us wonderful memories. Lisa

great experience thanks to thoughtful guidance, clear instruction, and a well-matched, scenic e-bike tour - My travel companion booked the Ride to the Sky Cycle tour rather spontaneously while we were still sitting on the tarmac before our flight departed, so there wasn’t much research done beforehand. After completing the disclaimer, I received a phone call from Shay, who thoughtfully suggested that the Ride to the Lake might be more suitable for our experience level. We really appreciated this and happily agreed. The tour ended up being a small group of just four, led by Ksena, who was excellent. She took the time to clearly explain the e-bike equipment, how to mount and dismount safely, how and when to use gears, and how to adjust the power settings. She set a comfortable pace, gave clear safety instructions for trickier sections, and shared lots of local knowledge along the way. The photos and videos she took were a lovely bonus. As visitors, we would never have found this route on our own — it was ideal, scenic, and perfectly matched to our abilities. Ksena’s guidance and instruction made the experience both enjoyable and confidence-building. Highly recommend doing a guided e-bike tour — it made all the difference.

Very fun tour - Amazing tour with interesting commentary, beautiful views, thrilling downhills, and great camera work from our tour guide. And it was athletically engaging (unlike most tours in Queenstown!). Way better than most tourist activities in the area

Don’t Miss This Ride of a Lifetime - Ride to the Sky is a small family business that clearly goes the extra mile to provide a great experience for their guests. Ksena and Shay consciously fit us with just the right bikes and had us do a practice run on a paved lot before they drove us to the trail. Shay then guided us on an e-bike tour of exquisite countryside!! I mean exquisite! He was fun, informative, attentive to our abilities, all while capturing us in action with his camera.
