Private Tours FAQs
How long is a private tour?
Private sessions and tours start at two hours and can run up to four hours depending on the location, amount of people and skill level of the group.
Do you offer transportation?
We do not offer any transport to the trailhead, nor the meeting point. That said, we can certainly work with you to offer easy access and suggestions on how to get to the meeting point via car, local bus or taxi.
What equipment is provided?
Each tour participant will be provided with a bike (e-bike or analogue) and a helmet.
Do I need to have experience for a private tour?
Our private bike tours are custom suited to your ability. You should be comfortable riding some type of human-propelled, two-wheeled bicycle prior to taking a private tour. That said, we are happy to offer a skills session within your private session.
