What people say
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!
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.
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.

I highly recommend the experience
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!
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!

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
Highly recommended
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!
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.
