Why Choose Us

cycling the great taste trail

Your perfect tour is our speciality

We are a boutique company focusing on customer service with attention to detail. We are always available to answer any questions you may have about a tour. We listen to your requests and develop or modify any itinerary to suit you.

Owners and staff are all keen cyclists

The owners and staff are all keen cyclists, with extensive knowledge of the areas we organise tours in. When we have a day off, we go cycling and take advantage of the many different routes on road or trails. Our local knowledge helps our customers enjoy the best of the area. We can help you discover places that other operators don’t use.

Catering for diverse cycling abilities

We know that, even within a group, there may be diverse cycling abilities and we will make sure everyone can enjoy their tour. If there are non-cyclists in a group, we can look after them too.

We do not amalgamate groups, so your chosen itinerary is yours to enjoy in the way that best suits you. We also limit the number of customers on bike tours on any given day, so that each person or group can receive the high standard of services we offer. We also allocate each group their own tour manager, to take care of any questions and requests the group may have when on tour.

We welcome customers of different age, gender, sexual orientation, race, religion or belief and we aim to use accommodation providers etc who also support these values.​​

Offering a range of accommodation options

We can offer a range of accommodation options to suit all budgets. We use accommodation providers who know our company and make every effort to make your stay comfortable and easy.

We are a fully ‘Qualmarked’ company. Qualmark is New Zealand’s tourism official mark of quality. We have been assessed and have been awarded a Sustainable Business Tourism Award. This award recognised our business has a high level of professionalism, a customer centric approach and has a ‘light footprint’ on our environment.

What our cyclists are saying

“From the moment Nicky picked us up from the airport, we felt well taken of. Nicky & Lisa chose perfect accommodation for us, our bikes were in great condition, the rides were breathtaking. Communication was spot on. We chose the self guided taste trail tour. Perfect. If you are thinking of a cycling tour in this neck of the woods. Then this is the company.”

Mother & Daughter Team

“We booked a 3 day biking adventure from Nelson to Kaiteriteri. Nicky was prompt, efficient, fun, funny, and so knowledgeable! We really appreciated her attention to detail and follow through when we had a slight problem with one of the bikes. She gave us great advice on routefinding and suggestions for places to check out. Thanks Nicky for a wonderful 3 days!”

Cajeta

“I booked a four day self-guided cycling tour with Wheelie Fantastic and couldn’t wish for a better company. Everything was well organised. The bike was of an excellent quality and in perfect condition, the B&B was just lovely and just right for this kind of holidays. And Nicky took great care of me! Thank you!”
