The trip leader was great he was very helpful and tried his best to make it fun and had a really great mixture of people in my group. Loved the activities and spending time in all sorts of places in New Zealand.
Fantastic trip- the landscape and trail was so different each day . The ride was never too challenging when you have the support of a group and good bikes. Loved the variety of accommodation - sheep station lodge to hotel - it added to the enjoyment . Guides Kim and Elder looked after us so well - cooked for us for two days, always had a full fruit and treats bowl on the bus, nothing was too much trouble for them. Feel a real sense of achievement at having completed the A2O Trail.
The tour itself was really well planned and for the days we couldn’t do what was on the itinerary the guides came up with fun things to do and see. I did feel like drinking was encouraged a lot on this tour by the director and myself and friend are not big drinkers. The places that we did get to see where amazing and the guide and director where incredibly knowledgeable.
