If you haven't ridden in a while, for your enjoyment/safety and that of your fellow riders, we strongly recommend you have a practice riding at home before your visit to Auckland. As well as riding on our wonderful cycleways, we will of course be riding in the road at times (to get to the good places!). Riding in traffic is a dynamic environment, so you will need to be comfortable riding in the road in order to enjoy the tour. And Auckland's volcanic past means that there a quite few hills to go up and down - the eBikes make going up easy, but you'll obviously need to be able to ride downhill! If you’d prefer a shorter, easier ride along Auckland’s beautiful waterfront - check out The Easy Rider, one of our other tour listings!

What a great way to see Auckland. We had a wonderful 3.5 hour tour with Eddie and it was so much fun. The bikes were fabulous to use, Eddie was a great guide - lots of cool information, but not too much and the route was perfect for showing us parts of the city we had never seen as well as demonstrating how easy it was to use the bikes. We had a blast and I would highly reccomend this trip to anyone wanting to see Auckland from a new perspective. I cant wait to do the City Lights tour now ......269ab

Eddie was an outstanding tour guide and made sure everything was safe. The bikes are first rate and ensure an easy and enjoyable trip. Saw a bunch of the classic sites in the city and put on 19km in the process. Highly recommended.

This was a fantastic way to see a lot of the city from a different perspective . I have lived in Ak my whole life( that’s 62 years) and found the cycle paths take you off road to many interesting places. The ebikes are of a very high standard and Eddie is a v professional and helpful guide. We covered 30 km and saw a lot in 3 hours. The follow up photos we were sent were great . We will be back to do the night tour next! Highly recommended activityN5468HImarkw

I was a solo traveller on the Classic bike tour. It was a great way to see the Central Business District, Auckland harbour and surrounding area. The guide was super friendly and provided great tips for things to see and do in Auckland (also provided a paper restaurant guide). The bike was well maintained and the seats were comfortable. Also, the e-bike was super easy and fun to ride. Definitely a must-do in Auckland.
