BIKING

We had an amazing experience renting bikes from The Luxury Trail Company for an adventure race! From start to finish, the team went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly.
Alicia was fantastic with communication, making the booking process seamless. The bikes were in excellent condition, and Dave gave us clear and helpful instructions on how to use them. We were provided with helmets and a repair kit (though no lights, so keep that in mind if you’re riding at night).
A special shoutout to Nick, who went the extra mile to help us get the bikes to our starting location—such incredible service!
Highly recommend The Luxury Trail Company for anyone looking for high-quality bikes and top-notch customer support. Will definitely rent from them again!

Where to begin!

From the moment we were collected at our hotel to the very end, I cannot rate the Luxury Trail Company high enough. We have just completed the Alps 2 Ocean and what an incredible experience. Geoff was the ultimate host. We had the privilege of experiencing breathtaking landscapes. Geoff made every stop feel special with his wealth of knowledge, warm hospitality and super engaging personality (and that laugh!!).

The attention to detail was exceptional – from the comfort of the vehicle to the carefully chosen spots along the way to picnic and have a drink, everything was seamless. It was clear that no effort was spared to ensure we had the most memorable experience possible.

Geoff was not just a guide, but someone who truly went above and beyond to make our journey unique. He took the time to cater to our personal preferences right down to the last detail. Along the way he offered great local insights, and made sure we were always well taken care of.

The luxury aspect of this tour was felt every step of the way, whether it was the scenic route we took, the fantastic food and drink stops, or the thoughtful touches that made the experience feel exclusive.

If you're looking for a personalised, high-end experience with a knowledgeable and friendly guide, this is absolutely the company to choose.

I can’t recommend the Luxury Trail Company highly enough – it was a trip of a lifetime - a life changing experience I will never ever forget! It has lead me to be heading home to purchase my very own E Bike to begin more wonderful adventures.

I look forward to booking our next trail ride with this team.

What a fantastic experience! I have done several rides now with the Luxury Trail Company and every experience has been exceptional. We have just completed the ‘Alps 2 Ocean’ and I am left reflecting on so much more than an awesome bike ride. The ride itself is fantastic with stunning scenery but the entire experience that Nick and the team put together was world class. Our guide Jeff went out of his way to ensure that every aspect of the tour was exceptional. It cost me the same money just for airfares to Europe last year which was not a memorable experience. This trip however created dozens of memories which I will treasure for life. If you have the opportunity to ride with the Luxury Trail Company, I highly recommend it. I will be back for another ride.

I was ill at the start of our trip and could not make the first day of the ride. Nick, the owner, took time out of his Sunday to pick us up from Queenstown enabling us to join the rest of the group. Above and beyond !!

The actual ride was amazing - stunning views every day, brilliant accommodation and food. Overwhelmingly, the best aspect of the whole experience was our support guide who provided a level of service that exceeded all expectations.

Thoroughly enjoyable week with the Luxury Trail Company and the A2O whole experience. Nick couldn't do enough to ensure we had a great experience.

Top notch ride with excellent bikes, support, lodging and food. Highly recommend.

Nick and Dave really show a very strong CARE FACTOR to ensure you have a great experience. They are innovative and resourceful in maximizing holiday enjoyment. Outstanding accommodation and meals together with top equipment complimented wonderful scenery on the Alps to Ocean trip.
I highly recommend the experience

We loved our two-day experience, which these guys arranged. Good organisation, knowledgeable team and lovely experience throughout. Highly recommended.

Nick and his team were outstanding from start to finish. Our family of four did a five day tour with the Luxury Trail Company and the bikes, accomodation and arranged restaurants were all first class. Nick and his team are all very personable and go the extra mile to make sure you are comfortable. We could not recommend the company, the people and the experience more highly. Our thanks to Nick and the crew. Andrew, Vanessa, Maya and Hugo.

Nick White, Alicia and the team at Luxury Trail Company are amazing hosts, great tour guides, capable bike mechanics and all-round good people!
Nick and his company have been a long-term supporters of the I Have a Dream programme, with monthly donations covering the costs of two our tamariki & rangatahi. He has also generously hosted groups of our Dreamers on the Otago Rail Trail - which has been an awesome experience for these young people from Northland.
It has also helped us to bring those promising kids through to Dunedin for a tour of Otago University ... the best uni in NZ!

Fabulous and awesome company. We did the Central Otago Sojourn Premier tour. Could not recommend it highly enough and being a small company, the attention to detail was top quality and very personalised. The team led by Nick could not do enough for us and nothing was a hassle. The accommodation choice using Oliver’s was just beautiful, along with the three restaurants they booked us in at. Clyde where you are based is a great little spot with lovely restaurants and we even watched a movie in the small cinema next door. A final note, the e-bikes we used are very high quality and comfortable by a NZ company, Sinch.

We just completed a fantastic biking tour with Luxury Bike Trail Tours in New Zealand, and we can't speak highly enough of Nick's personal service! From the very beginning, Nick was incredibly supportive, ensuring that our bikes were ready and perfectly adjusted for our height, making our rides comfortable and enjoyable.

What truly set this experience apart was how Nick went above and beyond to engage with us. He not only guided us on the trails but also joined us for meals, making it feel like he was a part of our group rather than just a tour leader. This personal touch created a warm and friendly atmosphere, allowing us to share stories and experiences over delicious meals.

Nick’s attentiveness and genuine passion for biking and the beautiful landscapes of New Zealand made our tour unforgettable. If you’re looking for a biking adventure where you feel personally cared for, Luxury Bike Trail Tours is the perfect choice. Thank you, Nick, for making our trip so special!

Thank you Nick and Dave for a wonderful experience riding the rail trail. Very well organised and with lots of personal touches to ensure all went smoothly for both riding, accomodation and transfers.
Scenery was wonderful and trail was superb.

I was thoroughly impressed by the exceptional service provided by the entire team, especially Nick. His attentiveness to each guest truly made a difference, ensuring that everyone felt included and valued throughout the journey.

The small group setting allowed for a more personalized experience, and it was evident that every detail was carefully considered. The accommodations were handpicked, perfectly suited to the tour, and offered a cozy atmosphere that made us feel right at home.All of the hosts were welcoming and provided fantastic service, adding to the enjoyment of each stay at their place.

Nick's passion for biking and sharing the beauty of New Zealand shines through in every aspect of the tour. He is knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and genuinely cares about creating memorable experiences for his guests.

If you're looking for a memorable biking adventure with exceptional service, fantastic scenery and amazing support look no further than Luxury Bike Trail Tours. Thank you, Nick and your team for a wonderful experience.

We recently had the pleasure of experiencing the Luxury Bike Trail Tours in New Zealand, and I can't recommend it highly enough! Nick, the owner, truly delivers an exceptional experience that goes far beyond just providing bikes and shipping luggage.

From the moment we started the tour, it was evident that Nick is a professional who is passionate about what he does. The entire experience was meticulously organized, ensuring that everything ran smoothly. The accommodations were fantastic, with hosts who provided outstanding service, making us feel welcome and well-cared for throughout our stay.

The meals were another highlight; each one was thoughtfully prepared and delicious, catering to a variety of tastes.

And let's not forget the bikes! They were high quality Moustache e-bikes, making our rides enjoyable and effortless.

Overall, if you're looking for a unique and luxurious biking experience in New Zealand, Luxury Bike Trail Tours is the way to go. Thank you, Nick, for an unforgettable adventure!

We had a really fabulous trip with Luxury Trail Company. Alicia went out of her way to organise the itinerary to suit us and nothing was too much trouble. Our driver and main point of contact, Brian was very friendly and helpful, he even bought us towels and a blanket when we got caught in some quite wet and cold conditions A tasty mulled wine from the many delightful local bars went down a treat.
Three three different rides were perfect and varied and would suit all levels and capabilities of rider. The first day short ride was a good introduction to the bikes which were of a very high standard and well equipped.
A visit to one of the local wineries for tasting and a sumptuous platter was an added bonus with some truly beautiful surroundings. We were booked in to some fabulous restaurants for our evening meals and the local cafe provided a pack lunch each day with some tasty wholesome food and fresh juice.
Every detail had been thought through right down to the welcome goodie bag with maps, chocolate and “Butt Butter” to soothe sore spots!! Congratulations to the team at Luxury Trails, I’m sure you will have a successful future

Wow! What a stunning part of NZ to experience on a bike. The E-bikes were well maintained, providing hassle free travel. The luxury accommodation package did not disappoint and great value. From Pitches Store, Waipiata and to Oliver’s Stables the hosts presented true Southland hospitality, I’ve never eaten so well. Oliver’s was the cherry on the top. Absolutely will do this trip again. Alisha at LTC is brilliant, nothing was a problem with her friendly ‘can do’ approach. Highly recommend.

Second time with the Luxury Trail Company. This time was the A2O. Incredible riding, scenery was spectacular with a little bit of everything. Accommodation and food outstanding. Had a great group with lots of laughs and plenty of good memories. Big thank you to our super guide Nick for putting up with us all!

Scenery - Amazing. Accommodation - Amazing. Food - Amazing. Organisation - Amazing. Our guide, Nick, went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. He ensured you could ride at your own pace with no pressure. Bikes had plenty of power and juice to allow you to ride with whatever level of assist you wanted. Nick managed the group dynamic well so you could socialise or have time out without issue. Absolutely the best way to enjoy this bucket list trip.

A great Ebike tour with challenges & rewards around every corner. Can't wait to do more with Nick & the Luxury Tour Company

Nick and his staff know NZ so well and are amazing and crafting the perfect holiday! Cycling around Clyde and Fiordland Lodge both wonderful experiences we will do again.

My daughter and I just finished the Alps 2 Ocean trip. It was the trip of a lifetime. Tightly run from start to finish - very professional. The equipment was top notch and the accommodation was wonderful - most places I would never find on my own but were unique and special. Nick went out of his way to make us comfortable and safe. I’m already planning another trip with them. Highly recommended.

Memorable A2O experience. Nick our guide had thought of everything starting with a fresh salmon and sushi picnic by a turquoise lake. All our accommodation was fantastic; stunning views of Mt Cook from our room the first 3 nights. Helicopter flight was a great start to the cycling trip and views exquisite. Itinerary was expertly judged and supported appropriately with plenty of local knowledge of where to stop and swim. The hospitality from lodge hosts was second to none; a special mention for Ann in Omarama and Patrick at Valley View Glamping which was possibly my favourite spot. A great finish in Oamaramu which is a quirky and vibrant spot. Faultless…

Nick thanks for a fantastic trip -incredible countryside, great bikes, superb accommodation and food. Wonderful opportunity to spend time in Central Otago
Highly recommended

Thank you Nick for all you did to support us on a fantastic trip along the A2O. Great bikes and a wonderful variety of food and accommodation. Highly recommend!

Surpassed all my expectations by far! Absolutely brilliant trip. We were so well looked after. Amazing riding, delicious food, superfluous accommodation, nothing was too much trouble for these guys, we were very spoilt! Can’t wait to do it again!

The bike ride itself was so varied, everyday so different than the day before. And.. completely overwhelming in terms of the scenery. As all our needs were met by the team, it truly lived up to the name! Luxury!

What an amazing experience ! Small business, incredibly nice tours and explanations ! Don’t go to anyone but them 🙂 I did the Dunstan Lake trail, starting with a … 30 minutes boat trip with explanations!

rode the otago rail trail recently supported by this company. lovely people and happy to go out of their way to make your trip special. great accommodation options and all in all a fun filled few days.

Our family of 7 had the most memorable family trip ever. We go away together at least twice a year, and have done all sorts of overseas trips, hikes, islands you name it, but this had to be one of our top trips. Nick and Ali were so amazing - helpful, accommodating and knowledgeable. The accommodation they organised was first class, the restaurants they recommended were the best food we have had for ages, and the people we met on the way were all so friendly - Otago Rail Trail and everything it has to offer we absolutely recommend you do this and do it with Nick and his team at Luxury Rail Trail Tours

Could not recommend Luxury Rail Trail Tours enough. Nothing too much hassle. They were able to accomodate anything we wanted. Lovely, friendly staff that went the extra mile. The trail itself is great fun but the accomodation and food enhanced this for us. In particular the night spend with Nick and Andrea as fantastic.

An amazing tour thanks to the team at Luxury Rail Trail Tours.
We travelled with 12 friends for two special occasions and everyone is still raving about this holiday.
We are so pleased we chose Nick & Andrea to host this bike rail trip, fabulous to spend time with you both, sharing your gorgeous lodge and southern hospitality for our anniversary with excellent staff Claire and Rosco always there if needed.
Best suggestion to start at Middlemarch and end up in Clyde.
Thanks for going the extra mile we will definitely recommend to all our friends.

What a great trip our family had with Luxury rail trail tours we highly recommend this company. Great accommodation and wonderful food over the 4 days also loved the Ebikes. Thank you Nick and Andrea

We used Luxury Rail Trail Tours to book our rail trail journey. We were impressed with the rooms and meals that were organised, the bikes they supplied, and their overall professionalism. They always responded quickly and never failed to be helpful in everything we asked of them. We highly recommend.

From the first point of communication to the final farewell, Nick and Andrea from Luxury Rail Trail Tours did an outstanding job. They accommodated our large group, supplied great bikes, beautiful accomodation and superb meals throughout. The cycle itself was spectacular and not too difficult. Support throughout the ride was as much, or as little, as we wanted. The optional add-ons were fun and well organised if you want the extra fun. Highly recommend booking with Nick and Andrea once NZ Tourism is back and running for Rail Trail or any other venture in the South Island or even abroad!

A fantastic experience that was exactly what we were looking for. Food and accommodation were a very high standard, team could not have been more accommodating. I have recommended to friends already.

Impossible to imagine a way of making this lovely ride better. This team brought together the very best of everything to make a superb experience. From start to finish, just perfect.

Thank for all your help and support made our trip easy and fun
