  This was Tour #1 of three winery cycle tours we took during our two-month vacation in New Zealand. We loved it so much we decided to do it again... read more when we were in Blenheim and Napier. We booked this tour through Around the Basin Bike Tours, who provided bikes, helmets, maps, and shuttle service at the beginning and end of the ride. We cycled from Arrowtown to Gibbston Valley on the Arrow River Bridge Trail and the Queenstown Trail, crossing suspension bridges and riding through farmland with spectacular mountain views and along deep gorges with turquoise water. In Gibbston Valley, the heart of the wine-making country, we visited numerous winery cellar doors and a fantastic craft brewery with wood fired pizza! The trail was easy and the beverages were outstanding. We will definitely do it again.

  Our group of 'old' friends hired 6 ebikes for 4 days from "Around the Basin" and with the 3 other members of the group we really had an explore! Great... read more bikes - not the firt time that we, personally, had hired them from ATB so we knew that the others would be delighted. Arrow River, Gibbston Valley, Lakeside. Twin Rivers, Lake Hayes, Kelvin Heights and Sculpture, Jack's Point Trails- all these trails on brilliant (albeit cold) early winter days. Brilliant. Louise looked after and advised our needs, Hamish carried out any necessary drop-off or pic-ups. And it was all so good. Thank you ATB for the part you played in creating a rewarding breakout for Christchurch olds exploring their own country.
