    Very well run and the weather was great. We were the only two on the tour, so we got one on one treatment. The country side was magnificent and the lunch and wineries were great too.

    This is an absolute must do!!! The countryside scenery can not be experienced on foot or in a van, it just can’t. The lovely smell of the flowers, the wind in your hair and the smile on your face as you travel on the bikes is second-to-none. I would do this tour, again and again.
    Ian was our guide, he was professional, safe and fun to spend the day with!

    The absolute best way to see the country and taste the wine. Ian, our tour guide, was lovely, friendly and very obliging for our needs. The small group was very friendly and we all shared experiences etc. over a lovely drop of local wine. I would definitely recommend this tour. My husband and I are 50+ and we handled the ride , no problem.

    What a great day! Collected from hotel by friendly, competent tour leader and driven into Hills via scenic route. Tested our quality bikes riding through the forest then onto McLaren Vale for sampling all the region has to offer. Lunch of shared platters was delicious too.
    There’s no better way to visit this region!

    This was a great day out. We enjoyed the riding which was just enough considering the warm weather. The 2 wineries chosen were excellent and we arrived home to find the wine we ordered waiting at our door. Great lunch, company and Ian was very flexible with fitting in with the needs and interests of the group. Highly recommend this tour.

    I really enjoyed this tour. There are many wine tours but this one has a twist. If you are reasonably fit the mountain bike riding is great fun as it takes you through some woodland areas then onto roads and tracks which are mostly down hill with only one small up hill but this depends on which vineyards you visit. Better than being cooped up in a minibus.

    Excellent tour. Ian was a knowledgeable guide and intent on making sure everyone had a good day. Terrain was good and the visits organised and fun. Great group of people!

    Ian is running this family business as a Bike tour guide for one-day trips in McLaren Vale including everything I like: great views, sport, nature, good food, great wine and beer tasting opportunities, along with providing the right amount of information. Friendly, knowledgeable, kind, fun, Ian is one person who can create such great day. Done in a small group, this is pleasant and manageable, and the level of fitness required for the mountain bike ride is accessible to everyone – bike, gloves, mountain bikes provided.
    It was a great day, with the right amount of fun, friendliness, sport, nature, and tasting. High recommendation to discover the surroundings of Adelaide or simply enjoy a day of fun if you live in there.

  11. CARON W

    Great day with stops at unique cellar doors and a chance to get a good insight into the ethos behind the wine. Delicious lunch and an opportunity to get to know other people on the tour. Cycling not too advanced but varied and interesting .. little bit off road little bit on road with mostly downhill stretches. Thanks to Ian our guide, Paul and Caron

  14. Rory_B

    We cycled in rain, hail and sun- and it was all fabulous fun. I highly recommend this experience, even if my credit card it a bit exhausted from wine orders.

  15. Georgina_C

    It was an adventure and the wineries were great. The views were stunning and the mountain bike trail was exciting

  16. Mike_V

    As long as you don’t focus on the architecture, you can imagine biking in the south of France (handy in times of covid). Bikes were well maintained. Ian was super professional and friendly. The wine and food at Gemtree was delicious. A great day of food, fitness and wine.

    This ride is memorable. We rode on an overcast day with heavy drizzle at the end of the first leg of riding. There are some parts of the ride that may be tricky. For me, I do not ride often and if I do they are on flat grounds. This ride can be quite exciting but it is recommended that you go if you are confident of manipulating the bike according to the line of ride, and are able to negotiate slopes. It’s a nice to ride to visit vineyards and absolutely recommended for those who has mountain bike experience. I might have to practise more before I attempt again, as during the trip I fell 3 times when my control wasn’t good enough and it went off the course, or I rode over a rock and tripped. At places I was not confident at all, I just got down and pushed my bike. At some narrow path, falling over to the left may means rolling down the slope. So, know your limits!

    The tour was under book but they took us anyway with just 2 people. Beyond kind. It was the best tour we had in South Australia. Fun, beautiful valley, great guide. Just terrific. I would go again !
