We were 4 ladies from Christchurch New Zealand. This bike ride through glorious wine country, Barossa, Clare Valley and McLaren Vale would have to be the best we've ever done! Everything including the itinerary, the bikes, food and especially the knowledgable, friendly and fun guy our tour guide Paul, was outstanding. We loved it 😀 We thoroughly recommend this tour!
