Wellington Switched on Bike tour - Fun day. The hill to the water tanks was challenging. Need to be in reasonable physical shape. Experience on an e-bike helps. Tara our guide was really good

Great fun - Easy ride, super helpful and patient staff. Good quality bikes. They have helmets and windbreaker/hi-vis jackets to use. Our guide knew a lot about the history of Wellington. Safety was very important to all. I really enjoyed the experience.

Our Favorite Shore Excursion - We were on a cruise and this was our favorite shore excursion. The guides were so friendly and fun and the bikes were so easy to use. Loved the beautiful views from the top of the hills. And loved the ice cream!

A Challenge But Outstanding Ride - Be prepared for a challenging ascent uphill to the water towers. Make sure in turbo power and then enjoy reaching the top for a fantastic view. The wind gusts around the Bay Area on the way back were very strong but our guides were fantastic, giving us suggestions, guidance and assistance when needed.

Biking in Windy Wellington - Booked a private guided tour as part of our day in Wellington from a cruise. Ryan was great at communicating prior to our arrival and everything ran smoothly. Darcy was a great guide and worked to make sure our entire party was comfortable on the bikes and throughout the tour. It was a windy Wellington day but we loved every moment! Don’t hesitate to book this tour.

Spectacular Views - The tour was a lot of fun. The E-bikes were easy to ride and they provided very clear instructions. There are a lot of bike paths so you don’t have to ride in the road. The views were spectacular. Denny was our guide and he was very nice and very patient with us. I would highly recommend this tour.
