Bike Wine tour - My wife and I had a great time going to 5 wineries in Napier via bike at our own pace. The bikes were in good shape, and the ride not too bad between the various wineries. They had bags on the bikes to store the wine which you purchased along the way. It was a very enjoyable day.

Perfect cycling around Napier district. - This one of the best areas to cycle in NZ. This company was very professional again as I used them for the second time. Nothing was a problem. We cycled for 3 days and had a flat tire one day - they brought us a new bicycle in 30 min. Excellent service and good local knowledge.

Great day , stunning views of coast - Operator was great , views were stunning , directions great . Only negative for us was the clearview winery who were rude and unhelpful. Just wanted 2 glasses of wine, which they couldn't accommodate. Seems they only wanted people.booked for food and wine tasting . Elephant estate and Te Awanga were lovely though, so highly recommend those 2 as alternatives ..

Great way to get out and visit wineries. - Great way to get out and explore the countryside around Hawkes Bay area, and visit as many wineries as you like! Excellent e-bikes and helmets. Very friendly staff greeted us and transported us to the start point, explaining the route on the way. Pick up was on time and easy.

Excellent day of cycling and wine - The bike hire company was wonderful! Very helpful and nice. We loved how they picked us up at the last winery and brought us back to our busses, as well.

Beautiful scenery but having a broken bike seat ruined it for me - 12 woman on the trip.
One of them had an electric bike which kept cutting out.
I had a broken seat which was only discovered an hour into the trip. The broken seat ripped my trousers. Very upsetting.
I feel like these things should have been checked before giving the bikes to us.
Also it is poorly sign posted for the bikes. We got lost a few times.
Other than that the bike trip was good and we had nice weather for it

Lovely day, great wine, but beware of timings. - A lovely day out on good bikes to some excellent wineries and having the minibus to pick us up was most welcome. Downside is the route includes a section going through an industrial area but after that it is lovely and the cycle path is good. Be aware though of timings. The company suggested lunch at the Hyyge Cafe, but after 2.5 hours we'd only reached the first winery, so you need to be a good and regular cyclist to do that.

Tricky route, great winery stops. - Had to do a different route due to limited time but overall ok. Self guided route is a bit tricky to follow so wound up using GPS on phone. Great winery stops.
