WOW. What an awesome experience. We did the "Great Southern Circuit" - the combined West Coast Wilderness and Alps to Ocean over 12 days. We had a great group of people on both trips with lots of fun & laughter including the hiccups along the way. We had amazing guides. Nothing was too much trouble & the support & encouragement to some of us who were challenged at times was appreciated. To the team at Escape by Cycle thank you for your regular communication. The food & accommodation was superb. Thank you for an amazing time. Highly recommend this company & hope to see you again.

My son and I have just finished the Alps to Ocean with Escape by Cycle. The trip was very well organised from start to finish, bikes were great, accommodation was good throughout and the food was something we looked forward to each day. Our guide Casey took care of anything needed on the journey without hesitation. Ian was our guide on a couple of sections and it was great to meet him as well. We had a fun time throughout and would definitely use them again.

On our Escape by Cycle trip, we had 2 great guides, magnificent accommodation, excellent meals and picnics, and great company of others. The trail was exciting and even better than the first time we attempted it 5 years ago. Ebikes were a godsend this time!! We have now completed all the Escape by Cycle trips and have had wonderful support and enjoyable experiences every time. Recommend this company to anyone contemplating riding cycle trails.

The weather gods shined on us and Escape by Cycle provided the rest. What fabulous team, Richard our guide gave us the opportunity to see and learn things that would have passed us by. Food, support and for me a private source of Tim Tams at the end of a beautiful days ride. If you want to see fabulous countryside, be at home with the real New Zealand then you couldn't choose a better way of doing it than with Escape by Cycle.

I had a most fantastic cycle trip with Escape by cycle. The guides were there to help me with the bike and advise on the trails. The accommodation and food was first class all the way through. I will most definitely do another trip with Escape by Cycle. As soon as I can!
