Loved our bike tour we road from Arrow town to Queenstown so easy and the scenery is so breath taking we just had to... keep stopping to take photos with the snow falling on the mountains and all the different wild life will definitely be coming back to do it again. The guys helped us out with setting up the bikes and plenty of knowledge on the area we recommend this company to everyoneread more

Very friendly and helpful. Bikes are great, well maintained (suggest adding a bell as there are many people sharing the... trail). Also would be nice to have a bit more time in winter. Otherwise, awesome experience!read more

Absolutely loved our tour! The bike ride was beautiful and was so much fun (definitely happy we upgraded to e-bikes)... and the wineries and breweries we stoped at were great! Couldn’t recommend this more if you’re in for a fun boozy day!read more

Electric bikes are meant for gravel paths and not much more. Not recommended for shredding park or downhill trail. Can... be done but nothing like a trail bike. Would recommend renting from somewhere else if looking to ride downhill trails. Great for riding around the lake and town though.read more

Fantastic day out on the trails doing the Arrowtown to Queenstown ride 35km. We hired conventional mountain bikes and... they were great - felt safe and secure on them. Shuttle service was useful for us as well. Helpful and friendly staff which made the whole experience that much better. Highly recommend this company. Thank you.read more

Fabulous day out with the e-bikes. Staff were amazing, transfers to and from drop off points were very well organized,... and it was just such a fun day using the e-bikes to visit the wineries. Highly recommend for any age-group - anyone can manage this with an e-bike! Will definitely be back to do this again next time we're in Queenstownread more

We enjoyed the ride from Arrowtown to Queenstown, beautiful scenery in every direction, great bikes. The staff were... great, made the experience all the better.I do think maybe they need to have someone unfamiliar with the area doing the signage. Some sign posts were less obvious than others.read more

Great self-guided tour from Jack’s point to the shop. Was well informed, given a map and lots of tips about keeping... safe out on the trail. We had an amazing day! E-bike was worth the wee bit extra! It meant we got tack on a bit more of a ride at the end and headed out to the shotover river bridge.read more

I would recommend Around the Basin bike hire to all. We were a bit of a disorganised group (sorry!) that chopped and... changed our plans a few times. Despite this, the team were always happy to accommodate and were very patient with us! Thank you! We had so much fun! They also gave us good practical recommendations in terms of doing the tour with kids.read more

What a fantastic bike ride. We are a family of three with a nine year old daughter. We did the half day tour from... Arrowtown to Gibbston Valley Winery. The scenery on the trail is incredible. The trail is a mix of gravel path, country roads and bridges. The staff were fantastic, both in the office and on the trail. Highly recommendread more

What a great experience. Most of our group hadn't ridden a bike in years and they loved our day biking from Arrowtown... to Queenstown, with a slight detour thrown in to visit Gibbston Valley winery. We were all over 50 and all used E bikes which made the whole experience that much more enjoyable, knowing we had that extra bit of boost to help us up the hilly parts. The team at Around the Basin Bike Tours was great and I highly would recommend them to anyone. Thanksread more

My friend and I did the full day wineries tour and it was fantastic, the driver was great and informative and you get... the feeling they'll go out of their way to make your experience as enjoyable as possible, the views and track were superb. The bikes were nice and in great condition, the length of ride gave you plenty of time to have a look around Arrowtown, stop for lots of pictures and exploring and of course pop in to plenty of wineries! Can't recommend enough and i'll be back next time i'm in Queenstownread more

Can’t say enough good things about this adventure. My wife and I tried the e-bikes for the very first time and were... pleasantly surprised not to mention occasionally exhilarated! Hamish our tour organizer was professional, knowledgeable, friendly and ready to assist with any concern. We did the afternoon bridges tour that included a winery tasting which was very pleasant but mostly we enjoyed the thrill of the trails and scenery out of Arrowtown towards the wineries. The track itself had both uphill and downhill stretches as well as many flat areas. The bikes were well-maintained modern and you could go quite fast with the boosted capability if you wish to. A fantastic experience five out of five.read more

My husband and I did a second tour with this company. They are simply the best. This time we got to go along with Lisa... one of the company's owners. My parents are a bit older and do not have much experience biking and she was so accommodating. They loved it too! The views along the bike are stunning. This is a must do if you are in Queenstown! You can even rent bikes from them which we also did. They are in great condition.read more
