Testimonials

AllTrails Paris to Copenhagen was a great trip and while not cheap, met or exceeded our expectatons regarding hire bike quality, hotel standard, inclusions such as many evening meals, walking tours etc and level of organisation. Our European guides were fantastic and it was great having owners Richard and Jo riding with us. Our large group got on well and while some days were challenging, we all enjoyed riding between into and through the often gorgeous villages towns and larger cities. Tony M (VIC) Paris to Copenhagen

 Just wanted to let you know I really enjoyed the Rock Ride and appreciated the amount of planning and preparation that went into the tour. What motivated me to go on the trip was the fact that it was one of the few well-known areas that I had never been to in Australia. And to see it by bike made it extra special. I appreciated and enjoyed the interesting range of accommodation, from 'Donga to Deluxe', as I think of it.  And I appreciated the hard work and good-humour that [the crew] brought to ensure the trip went smoothly and comfortably. Steve (ACT) Rock Ride

Greetings Richard and co, Susan and I did greatly enjoy the Adelaide - Melbourne journey. Many thanks. And a great big vote of confidence to Dylan and Andrea who so well managed the tour after Jo left for Melbourne. David (VIC) Adelaide to Melbourne

Full review on Facebook. In summary, a hot but enjoyable ride, great company, superb food, mostly excellent accommodation and all but one amazing wine tasting experience and all topped off by the support offered by Jo, Andreas and Tim. ... such a wonderful tour in Australia! Steve (ACT) SA Food & Wine Indulgence Tour

I recently rode the Nullarbor tour. The trip was very well organized by AllTrails so we could focus on the riding and the camaraderie. The logistics of keeping everyone fed, sheltered and safe in some of these remote locations must have been quite challenging but was pulled off extremely smoothly. Rob (USA) Nullarbor

Feedback:
Loved the support by All Trails, in fact I've booked again for next year.
No worries, everything thought of. Great accommodation, fantastic food, well organised.
Very safe. All Trails think of everything leaving you to only think about pedalling. Nice people that are common minded , great way to spend a holiday.
Fantastic sense of achievement.
Tracy (QLD) Kununurra to Broome

A big THANK YOU for a wonderful experience during the Great Vic bike ride. Your devotion to details of every aspect is superb. Especially loved the sag wagon on those rainy days. Jo, I was wondering if you wouldn’t mind sending me the recipe for that yummy slice you made for us for our first lot of afternoon tea? Carmen (QLD) Great Vic Bike Ride Accommodation Package

All Trails support while undertaking the Great Victorian Bike Ride was brilliant. The weather was wet and windy at times. All Trails helped keep me going by being so organised and helpful. They managed to keep me and my bike on the road. I could not have done it without them. I will definitely do the ride again because of them. Emma (VIC) Great Vic Bike Ride Accommodation Package

Thank you for another enjoyable cycling holiday meandering through Southwest Victoria. I do appreciate your hard work behind the scenes and also during the trip ensuring that everything runs smoothly and trouble free as we cycle through the countryside observing the different landscapes and towns and relaxing in the chosen accommodation at the end of the day's riding. May AllTrails continue to thrive and prosper for cyclists wanting challenges, new places to visit and to be part of the camaraderie which exists on all tours. Bev (VIC) Coast, Craters, Gold Rail Trails Tour

Full marks to the AllTrails team for a wonderful 7 day cycling experience. Everything went like clockwork with nothing left to chance. Well organised rides, accommodation, meals, on-road support, logistics and administration accompanied by a great bunch of fellow cyclists. Can’t wait to do another one. Steve (VIC) Gippsland Rail Trails 2023.

I’m dropping you a note to say I am totally over the moon with everything the Nullarbor Tour is bringing to my adventure! I love the changing landscape! The roadhouses each have their own unique characteristics and flare! Richard and Peter are excellent tour leaders and very personable with everyone in the group! They go over and beyond to ensure we are all safe, happy and having a wonderful trip! I made the correct decision to ride this tour! I’m happier than a pig in rain! Deborah (USA) Nullarbor

...beautiful scenery, great hotels, excellent food, and best of all, the chance to reconnect with old friends and meet new ones. The trip was a new experience for me, as it differed in several ways from the previous European trips I'd done... I found the AllTrails trip to be quite relaxing, and I enjoyed the fact that information on places to visit along the way was provided. I also enjoyed being on a mix of bike paths and bike routes with minimal traffic… Another thing that really impressed me was the excellence of the pre-trip communication - any time I had questions, they were responded to quickly and completely. THANK YOU FOR A FABULOUS TRIP!! I hope our paths cross again. Susan (Canada) France Tour 2023

Thank you for an unforgettable adventure Nullarbor Team! You did everything for us so we just had to do the biking. It’s mind boggling how all of our food and lodging was there for us all along the Nullarbor.

Thank you also for all the pre-trip preparation help, route finding, group pictures, daily briefings, string bags, keeping us on schedule, side trips, easy on and off the sag wagon, nice as possible accommodations, letting us all ride our own rides and keeping it fun. You are a world-class company. Martha (USA) Nullarbor

We would like to thank everyone for a great trip. We really enjoyed the countryside and the extra ks included. Good fun and Richard is meticulous. Thanks again, Merridy and Derek (NSW) Resorts Ride

I really enjoyed the recent Resorts Ride which was really well managed by Richard and Jo…RACV Resorts we stayed at were all fantastic…My favourite was the one at Torquay with the magnificent views to the ocean and the fantastic heated pool and spare which was heaven after a big day of riding. Again thanks for a great holiday and I hope to do another AllTrails Ride in the future. Colin (NSW) Resorts Ride

Thank you all for the planning and friendship. I absolutely loved it. Jane (USA) Katherine to Kununurra

Best experience on the All Trails Tour. Continual excellent support. No decisions to make, everything is done for you. Excellent support, excellent food, excellent accommodation. Amazing scenery, very helpful staff that are well experienced in what to do and what not to do. I'm already booked for next year on All Trails again. Thank-you. Tracy (QLD) Kununurra to Broome

I joined AllTrails for the NZ South Island tour which was in one word simply 'epic'! Richard and his team have everything well planned, are super customer friendly and always willing to help. Not only during, but also prior and after the tour. Can highly recommend joining a trip with them! Even if you have to travel half the world from the Netherlands :) Sjoerd (Netherlands) NZ South

I’m not sure what I could say that hasn’t already been said in terms of glowing reviews of an AllTrails bike trip. The New Zealand South Island trip was truly amazing and I would do it again in a heartbeat. Punakaki, day off hiking in Franz Joseph Glacier and the beautiful and numerous suspension bridges were some of my favorite things to see and do but there are too many to list and they all had their own magic. Richard and Doug could not have done a better job of making the rides special every single day. Midge enthusiastically made the signing up and renting a bike process very easy which was most appreciated. I will definitely do another AllTrails trip. Kim (USA) NZ South

Ppass on my thanks to Richard for all that he did for us on the Murray River tour, and especially for going the extra mile to get Lynn and myself to the airport in Adelaide - its really appreciated. Also let Richard know that the Tiny Teddy's are now all gone :) I hope to join you again soon on another tour and will let my riding buddies know how much fun I had. Carolyn (NZ) Murray River

A fabulous experience! Would I do it all again? Yes please!! The overall experience was most enjoyable. Three weeks shared with a cohort of people whose company I enjoyed. It was my sixth tour with AllTrails and I cannot speak highly enough of Richard, Jo and Midges’ professionalism and organisational skills. On the road Richard and Doug, the mechanic, provided exemplary care, guidance and good humour. As well as fabulous on road catering and quality overnight accommodations. David (VIC) Murray River

Well above and beyond expectations! … Alltrails are great hosts and the group of guests were great company all along the way. Hotels, stunning sights all very well selected. I hadn't realised we would get so much support and guidance (good briefings, maps and sign posting on the actual route means you barely need to navigate for yourself, and most of the time you're following each other anyway, as we were all of similar fitness and ability)… The help and mechanical support from Doug and the team was priceless and what they did to help get me back on the road [after mechanical failure] was beyond what I could have ever hoped and it prevented my experience being a complete disaster.(Thank you also Jo/Richard! You are truly Deus Ex Machina) . including Midge in the office, for great organisation pre and post support and troubleshooting. Alan (NSW) Great Ocean Road

Simply awesome! Travelling interstate, you really want to know that everything is planned and the whole set up by AllTrails was seamless. The level of guidance and support for each step, where to meet, when, what to expect, how to prepare was excellent. To the support team along the way, each day is nicely outlined the evening before, the various stops for refuelling, directions and highlighted points of interest are all very clear. Great stopover locations and accommodation, good food and lovely to have the company of a group of riders all there for the same outstanding experience. Highly recommended! Chris (QLD) Great Ocean Road

This was a great way to celebrate my 70th birthday with my daughter who suggested we do this ride. It was way out of my comfort zone, but I made it, had to hop on the bus for a few klms on two occasions as I was having bike issues. Thanks to Richard for helping me with this. The scenery was amazing. At one stage my daughter said to me that it reminded her of the country side in the Sound of Music. My favourite day of the ride was our first day Childers Cove to Port Campbell, there was lots of stops well worth pulling over for and having a look. I loved The Otway fat tyre e-bike tour, it was a lot of fun. Apollo Bay was my favourite town. Thanks so much to Midge for his support and encouragement and answering our many questions before the tour commenced. A big thank you to Richard and Aaron who were always there to support us in many ways and keeping us safe at all times. Accommodation and meals and organisation were excellent. Thank you to Jo for the home baking supplied for our morning teas. A nice touch. I would highly recommend AllTrails. Janelle (Qld) Slow Ocean Road Bike Tour

The tour… exceeded my expectations in every way! The cycling was exceptional - dramatic scenery the entire trip, at a manageable but satisfying pace, with little traffic due to COVID international travel restrictions. The weather was on our side, but contingencies were in place had that not been the case. The nightly briefings and route management by the tour staff ensured a problem free and safe ride each day. The organisation of the trip, both pre-planning and during the tour was impeccable - everything happened like clockwork and every need and desire was anticipated and met. This truly has hassle free cycle touring at its best! The group was a mix of interesting and friendly, like-minded individuals - I suspect that this type of travel attracts birds of feather. I was the least experienced road cyclist, but received ample support, guidance and encouragement from the tour leaders and participants. The food and accommodation was of a high standard and good value. All non-cycling activities were interesting and unique. … reliable and professional tour organisation. This was the first of many AllTrails cycle tours in my future. Gillian (QLD) Slow Ocean Road

We had a truly awesome time and will definitely be back for another trip at some stage. Thanks for all your wonderful organising. Kathy (WA) Great Ocean Road

Just wanted to say a huge thank you to Richard and Aaron and all the team in the background on a great and enjoyable tour. Well done and hoping to be able to go on many more. Stephen (VIC) Slow Ocean Road 

My first experience with AllTrails was the Great Victorian Bike Ride. It was a wonderful journey. With AllTrails, all you had to do was ride your bike … or that’s the way it seemed. Everything else just appeared to happen! Peter (VIC) Great Vic Bike Ride Accom Package

Just to say how much I enjoyed the tour… Everything about the experience was not only very professional but very fun and one felt always with tremendous support in every aspect with full knowledge of Richard and Doug. Great accommodation great choice of restaurants and good choice of locations for lunch. I will not hesitate if I have a chance to book once more with ALL TRAILS. Manuel (QLD) Slow Tassie Sightseer Tour

The guides were great. Both were helpful at all times and had a positive outlook …and were particularly knowledgeable about the towns/cities we visited and the things to note in the region - including the local wines. This kind of knowledge of the region really makes a difference. I really loved the portion of the tour in the lakes district. Highlights in particular: the ride from Lecco to Como and in particular, the part to Bellagio. Hotel locations were generally convenient to see parts of the overnight towns/cities. Midge - Very helpful at all times in the run-up to the tour. Chas (USA) Italy Tour

Thanks to the AllTrails team and Michele and Alain for a wonderful trip in Northern Italy. It was a really good holiday, great cycling, interesting places, and a great group to travel with. The weather was fantastic after such a wet and cold season here in Sydney. The highlights for me were Lake Iseo, Bologna and Madonna del Ghisallo. The food was great and we were able to appreciate regional differences although the coffee and gelato were great everywhere. The trip notes were fantastic, interesting info about the region or places we were cycling through as well as supplying the necessary logistical information. It was good to have so much fresh fruit, and those lumps of parmigiana cheese seemed to last forever. Richard and Jo also were great support at the back of the group and it was good to see them cycling. Anne (NSW) Italy Tour

In short, we had a wonderful time. The trip only strengthened our love for Italy and certainly took us to some areas and towns that we had not seen before and may not have visited under our own steam...excellent guides - enthusiastic, capable, good humoured, well organised, supportive, terrific. We really enjoyed the relaxed pace and structure of each day. Of course, food and wine were great. Liz (VIC) Italy Tour

Logistics, accommodation, meals, massages were all top-notch & professional. There’s time each day to relax & do your own thing. The iconic GOW is a must-do spectacular trail. We saw plenty of wildlife, birds, varied terrain and landscapes. Got up close with a koala on the trail. The sun lit up the 12 Apostles coast and the turquoise ocean beautifully. Richard went beyond expectation, taking those that wanted on a guided road tour of more limestone coast features. Highly recommended. Don (NSW) Great Ocean Walk

Huge thanks to the crew for looking after Harry & me, and our bikes, so very well on the Ceduna to Clare adventure. And such a fantastic, crazy bunch of fellow-pedallers to share the journey with! Margaret (VIC) SA Explorer Tour

We had an absolute blast on the SA tour, Richard & Lou looked after us very well. Peter (NSW) SA Explorer Tour

…it was hard but made super enjoyable and one of my best experiences thanks to such a well organised tour and the AMAZING Lou. Highlights were last day ride into Launceston round the back way, Lake St Claire, Gordon River Cruise, Lake Rosebery and Cradle Mountain/Dove Lake. Rachel (NSW) Tasmania Tour

Everything was just great….from good roads, good company and endless horizons. It was such a good break after Covid lockdown and the endless rain on the east coast of oz. The tour went very smoothly and was relaxed all the way. Good food with riding in between. Well thought out paths and roads…..especially getting into Adelaide on the last day. Leanne (NSW) SA Explorer Tour

The tour was superb, with the tour crew - Rick and Lou - providing great support, while the 12 riders soon established a great level of camaraderie and support. In addition breakfasts were generally excellent and occasionally superb, while the provided meals (most lunches and dinners) were also of a very high standard, culminating in great meals in Port Arthur and Hobart. Accommodation was as advertised, 3 or 4 star hotels or equivalent with our accommodation in Richmond being a little quirky, but still pretty good. Steve and Mary (ACT) Tasmania Tour

So impressed with the helpfulness, degree of organisation and attention to detail on our first tour with AllTrails that we went on another.  Despite our circumstances creating some complications, they managed brilliantly.  We'll be back for more! Derek (NSW) Tasmania Tour

I have just completed the round Tasmania bike ride conducted by All Trials Bicycle Tours. What a ride!! 1300ks and 1620 meters of climbing, a total of 17 days riding with 3 rest days along the way.. AllTrails did a fantastic job in organising and running the tour, complete with very good accommodation, wholesome food, great camaraderie, and back up support throughout. Overall an excellent experience. Highly recommended. Barry (VIC) Tasmania Tour

Thank you so much for a memorable and eventful trip! The level of organization and attention to detail was excellent. As for Lou & Doug, there wasn't anything that they were not prepared to do for us - even on their rest days! Well done on getting such a team fantastic team together. San (UK) Adelaide-Melbourne-Sydney

I had wanted to ride the Central West Cycle Trail since it first opened in April 2020 and AllTrails gave me the perfect way to do it. Jo and Richard are such wonderful hosts, with nothing being too much trouble. A great group of cyclists made it a wonderful way to see the Central West Of NSW, the slow way. Many favourite experiences though the Goonoo State Forest would have to be the best, in particular the wonderful wild flowers everywhere including a large area of Flannel Flowers in full bloom. This was my first cycle tour with AllTrails and will definitely not be my last! Jane (NSW) Central West Tour

I’ve always wanted to see the Flinders Ranges and this proved to be a great opportunity to combine my love of cycling with a bit of outback adventure...I hadn’t done much off-road riding before, but really enjoyed the challenge and variety of the rides, and the fantastic scenery. We were generally back at the accommodation by early afternoon, leaving time for a walk in the bush or a read or a pre-dinner drink and chat. All in all it was a great experience with excellent company, rides and organisation by the AllTrails team. Highly recommended! Don (VIC) Flinders Ranges Tour

I want to thank Richard, Peter and the team for an extremely enjoyable and eventful tour of the Northern Territory...thank you for the experience and hope you got home safe and sound. I look forward to future tours when things settle down. Stephen (QLD). Darwin to Broome

I have done four cycling tours with AllTrails. The first was in 2013 and the most recent was the 2021 edition of the Perth to Adelaide tour. I cannot speak highly enough of their friendly style, professionalism, organisational ability and dedication to safety. When I did my first tour, I was impressed by the number of other cyclists who had done multiple AllTrails tours and this experience has been repeated in every subsequent tour. AllTrails has many repeat customers who consider themselves part of an extended 'AllTrails family' and I am one of them. I look forward to doing more tours with them in the future. James (WA) Nullarbor Tour

  I thoroughly enjoyed this tour and couldn't have completed a ride like this without all the planning that the AllTrails  team did.  Richard and Lou supported us all so well and nothing was too much trouble for them. The organisation of accommodation, food and our safety was excellent and made this ride achievable.  Thanks to you all I was able to complete this 'bucket list' ride. Your efforts were very much appreciated. Christine (TAS) Nullarbor Tour

Thanks for sending through the photos - they’re wonderful and bring back great memories now of an amazing, albeit strenuous, trip. I wanted to thank you and the team for all the work you did in putting together the trip. The organisation of all the meals, accommodation, maps etc was impeccable and went off without a hitch. Richard and Lou were wonderful hosts and we couldn’t have asked for a better group to do such a ride with. Veronica (VIC) Nullarbor Tour

This was a really great way to visit and enjoy the beautiful southwest of Australia. So much to see and experience on the way. Much more than I expected. I would certainly recommend the ride to any of my friends, because there is always the option to go harder & faster or ride further …. And to get off the bike when your body says you’ve done enough. Lou and Richard played different roles and I was able to make use of each of their skill set in different ways. Along with running the show, Richard’s mechanical expertise kept me going when my gears became cantankerous….Lou kept me on the road with a couple of well-timed massages…we had a great time and if the opportunity arises, we would join an All Trails ride again. Wendy (NSW) Great South West Tour

Please pass on to Richard, Lou and Doug my appreciation for their help and support during the Nullarbor Ride. The ride was very well organised and we were guided through this long bike journey in a very professional manner. Given the busy traffic and road conditions I felt very safe knowing that Lou, Richard and Doug were always on hand to look after our welfare. The accommodation was diverse but comfortable and many of the meals provided in the small towns were fresh, filling and delicious. I enjoyed the companionship of the group, the experience of riding the Nullarbor, scenery and our nightly briefing which included the daily adventures of Eddie, or Edwina, the Eagle. I have many happy memories of this epic ride…I am in absolute awe of your organisation and determination to keep going during these times. Well done. Thank you for organising the ride, as always, All Trails are the best in the business. Liz (QLD) Nullarbor Tour

We wanted to challenge ourselves with the amazing Great Ocean Walk, 100+ km over 6 days, and were delighted to be helped along the journey by the terrific AllTrails team. Richard and Lou took great care of us, feeding us well both along the walk and in the evenings, providing massages and tips to keep us moving, and just generally attempting to meet our every wish. They were also good company, as were the rest of our small group. And of course, the walk itself was spectacular, even when the weather took a turn for the worst. Thanks AllTrails for a wonderful trip! Highly recommended! Heather (NSW) Great Ocean Walk

What an epic team you are, Tassie was sensational…simply the best…We appreciate ever so much all the work you guys do behind the scenes, we cldnt carry on without you. Leah (NSW) Multiple tours

Thank you for a great ride … You provided a well organised tour with a happy lot of riders. Accom was excellent and most meals and coffee great.
One special aspect of an All Trails ride is that you always feel looked after on the road never feeling lost or abandoned. The added beauty of the Great Ocean Road which is unsurpassed in providing an outlook on our right hand side for many days
was uplifting…I know All Trails will continue to provide happy and challenging rides for cyclists of all levels. Keep pedalling everyone.
Joan (VIC) Slow Ocean Road

Our memories of the trip will be one of laughter! And the big one - the ELECTRIC BIKE – OMG how good was that!  This has renew my enthusiasm for cycling as I now can climb hills. Thank you both for all your support. It was great and congratulations on everything being very well organised. Hope that the coronavirus is not affecting the other tours especially the folks that are coming from overseas.
Amanda & Rob (NSW) New Zealand Tour

Thanks for your support during the trip. What a smooth operation it was! You both handled all our various needs generously & cheerfully…I particularly appreciate the birthday cake you arranged, thanks.
Marie (NSW) New Zealand Tour

Comments from our Great Vic Bike Ride Package in 2019:

Thank you and the rest of the team for an excellent tour. Although we didn’t end up using all the services you provide, we could see what an efficient, well-organised group you are, and we enjoyed our trip immensely (minus the cross and head winds coming into Port Fairy!). Lan and Jane

I would like to take the opportunity to once again thank all trails staff for their wonderful job of making our GVBR experience that much better. Peter

GVBR 2019:

Great job Richard, Jo and team. What a fantastic 9 days we enjoyed. Bruce and Sue

Thanks so much for all the support during the trip. Much appreciated and so glad I went with All Trails. Claire

Thanks Richard, Jo and JB. I Would recommend Alltrails after my experience. All the best. Jenita

Thanks everyone at AllTrails for 10 great days. James

GVBR 2019:

Thank you for the Accommodation Package and transport you arranged for the Great Victorian Bike Ride. The package was excellent, comfortable and contributed to a very enjoyable riding experience. Also, many thanks to JB, for bike care and attention, Lou and Steven for muscle care and attention. Your service is always first class and I am keen to recommend All Trails to my cycling friends whom may be considering bicycle tours. Once again, thank you and good luck with your your business. Kind Regards Liz

Gary and I wanted to belatedly say how much we enjoyed the Danube Tour. It was better than our expectations – in particular:- the scenic route, the seamless organisation, the good meals, the very good accommodation, the easy navigation of the route following the chalk marks, the knowledge and helpfulness of [tour guides], the weather, the very diverse group seemed to all knock along together well, the assistance and encouragement we got with the actual cycling (we had been a bit concerned about keeping up).
Marguerite (WA) European Tour

...I have to give you a 10 out 10 for this fantastic trip....well thought out with some great riding, perfect accommodation, marvellous dinners and great companions who seemed to want to tow me towards those daily destinations...I would recommend your Tours/Expeditions to anybody who maybe considering taking these trips....my thanks go out to our "Chalkies", our van driver and of course you two who were there to back us up....well me in particular. Given the opportunity I would take this type of journey on again.
Tony (NSW) European Tour

I enjoyed the trip very much. I thought rest days were really well placed in terms of taking a break from cycling and being able to use them to see some really fantastic parts of the country. I like being able ‘rest’, but also do something that doesn’t take up the whole day. I appreciated Richard and Jo incorporating their knowledge from their previous trip into this tour - a real personal touch. I way exceeded my own expectations of how far I thought I would ride. I’ll take some credit, but also offer some credit to you just in the way the trip was designed and organised...I know that Jo and Midge work hard behind the scenes, but thanks to Richard and Lou for everything they do on the tour.
Sandra (VIC). Darwin to Broome

Great organisation, interesting routes, adaptable to meet changing circumstances and situations and most important, friendly and focused on what needs to be done. Very highly recommended.
Alex (VIC). Darwin to Broome

*******************

Yes I will write a testimonial - it was BRILLIANT!!
Jan (QLD). Darwin to Broome

The trip is going really well with Richard and Lou doing a wonderful job .... and I am sure also as a result of the good work of the office support staff. How Jo and Richard do all that support driving at start and finish is beyond me. WELL DONE TO YOU ALL... it is a class act.
Alasdair (VIC). Darwin to Broome

Many thanks for yet another fantastic AllTrails ride. From the time we booked the tour to the time Richard and Lou dropped us off in Ipswich, the whole process was as smooth and well organised as we have come to expect from the All Trails team. Richard and Lou were as friendly and helpful as always and it’s inspiring to see how consistently cheerful they seem despite the amount of driving, loading and unloading of luggage and bikes, etc. etc. that they do on a tour like this. This was the first rail trail ride we have done with All Trails and I’m sure that it won’t be our last.
Bob and Bronnie (QLD). QLD Rail Trails Tour

AllTrails did a great job on its four day mountain bike tour in the Goldfields north of Melbourne. It was a mix of sweet single track and dirt roads connected by a few stretches of asphalt through rolling and scenic country of woods and fields and pleasant towns with a few 'roos popping up now and then. Comfortable accommodations, rental bikes and sag wagon available, the trip was a fine addition to a holiday Down Under. A great trip, if I can do anything to spread the word in US let me know.
Gordon (USA). Goldfields Tour

Thanks so much for a great tour. I appreciated being able to ride my dualie and not carry luggage and got a totally different experience of the trail than the year before when I bikepacked it. Thanks so much for your attention to detail, the maps, the book, the gpx files and the support. If you run it again I probably will come back and bring some mates with me.
Tanya (NSW) Goldfields Tour

I have been on over 100 supported and unsupported bike tours over 40 years and I can honestly say that I thought the recent Goldfields Tour was right up there in the top 3 or 4 tours that I have done. I loved it...The support supplied by AllTrails made the experience significantly more enjoyable than it would have been by way of an unsupported tour… As always the accomodation and meals (after riding and during each ride) were excellent. All riding support, including minimising risk through safety strategies, was excellent.
Eddie (NSW). Goldfields Tour

Was a great experience, fun group. Richard and Jo deserve 6 stars for their service.
Carol(USA). Gippsland Rail Trails Tour

Thanks for a great ride on the AllTrails Six Pack Rail Trails – as usual well organised and a great bunch of people to enjoy the camaraderie of other cyclists as we pedalled the six varying trails. Accommodation and meals were great. Congratulations to you all for your expertness in planning and organising pleasurable rides. You, Jo and Richard do a super job with all the organising etc. pre and during rides. Well done. Everyone really appreciates all your hard work. Thanks... Looking forward to another trip in the future...
Bev. Gippsland Rail Trails Tour

Five Star Review (via Facebook)! We had quite a diverse small group for this ride and Jo and Richard managed to cater to everyone's individual needs, allowing each person to ride as much or as little as they wished. Jo's home cooked treats were a bonus and much appreciated!
Linda. Great Ocean Road Tour

Thank you All Trails Bicycle Tours for facilitating and supporting us through a fantastic riding experience. The tour was so well organised with team Jo and Richard looking after us so well. The accommodation and food was really lovely and the on road support, encouragement and back up was fantastic. We all felt able to achieve our personal best and so enjoyed the journey along the iconic Great Ocean Road. We had the challenges of Lavers Hill, which was my 'tick the box' moment and also the opportunity to stop and take in the sights along the way. I'm looking forward to the next opportunity to ride a tour with All Trails.
Lyn. Great Ocean Road

I am writing to thank you for...organising our recent tour of the South Island of NZ. We were looked after very well and your preliminary work in organising the details was apprecaited. The scenery was outstanding, the highlight being the very panoramic train ride  from Greymouth to Christchurch.
Michael. New Zealand Tour

Favourite ride day? Difficult to say they were all good...parts of each day were exceptional. Favourite highlight? Sunset at Hokitika, coastal ride into Punakaiki, Pancake Rocks, ride by the lakes into Wanaka. I appreciated the AllTrails support and organisation within a very short time - say one or two days. Compared to previous experience I could see it was way way better. But, of course it is also more expensive. But, I would also say it was good value for money. If the quality is good I don’t resent paying. I await to hear more about next year's ride and am definitely interested.
John. New Zealand Tour

I loved the whole trip ...I loved all the cycling with the exception of the windy day , in particular the day to Hokitka and the day to Wanaka, these were the highlights on the bike... All support pre-trip re extra accommodation, bike hire etc was much appreciated. On the road JB just has the perfect personality, nothing was too much trouble for him.
Tom. NZ South Island Tour

Thanks to the AllTrails team for another wonderful accommodation/dinner/brekky package. Having ridden in over ten Great Vic rides - half on the campsite and half in the luxury that AllTrails provides - I have had many different memorable experiences. I did the 3 day ride this year and it was wonderful to renew old friendships and meet new people with the same interest.
Gwen. Great Vic Bike Ride

Thank you both so much for a fantastic Great Vic trip this year. The accommodation was superb and I know a lot is dependent on the size of the towns we go through but this year offered some excellent eating out too. The trip was seamless thanks to your attention to detail and ‘can do,’ attitude. A great group of people, indulgent afternoon teas and frequent massages whipped us into shape for the next day. Well done and many thanks.
Robyn & John. Great Vic Bike Ride

Thanks for the great photos, its a lovely record of a fabulous trip. We had an absolute ball and loved the combination of indulgence and working it off on the bike... Again, thanks to you all for a wonderful trip, see you again on the road.
Judy and Alan, SA Wineries Tour

Thanks - I thoroughly enjoyed the trip! I look forward to joining a trip in the future.
John. 4 Bays in 4 Days Tour

Just a quick note to say thankyou for an awesome trip. The weather certainly helped but AllTrails made it all possible and Jo and Richard were the perfect hosts...Thanks, once again, and looking forward to the Great Vic with AllTrails!
Gwyn. 4 Bays in 4 Days Tour

I have been associated with doing AllTrails trips for twelve years and the company is just going from strength to strength. The expedition management is first rate and the technical support of all of the trips has been second to none. This last trip with Richard, JB and Lou being yet another example of a company and its people doing their utmost to run a successful trip and to getting over the inevitable hurdles that come along to test us! Then there is the inimitable Midge in the office who for computer illiterates like me will even assist with completion of the necessary application forms…. all done in a cheery way without making me feel like a total ‘ignorant’. Because of the above I actively promote AllTrails to my friends and I hope that I can do my bit to promote your business.
Alasdair. Multiple Tours

We very much enjoyed our cycling trip from Copenhagen to Paris. Aside from the pleasure of cycling and new landscapes and cities to experience and new people to meet we were most impressed with the professionalism of [the guide] team.
Robyn & John. Copenhagen to Paris Tour

...a big “thank you” for all assistance and advise in the lead up to this year’s 2018 European Tour, it was much appreciated. Also thank you to Jo and Richard for the good times and occasional beer, (oh… and the cycling). The Tour was all I expected it to be plus a bit more. I had a great time and look forward to adding more fabulous AllTrails / Cycling memories in the future. Would I do another All Trails Tour…. Definitely.
Rod. Copenhagen to Paris Tour

Overall I consider this trip to have been very well conceived and executed by your team.... For those of us who truly enjoy road cycling it fits the bill really well and personally I loved it...guides were terrific and to be highly commended...Meals were excellent and very well organised...Overall a great trip- again showcasing AllTraills attention to detail; great route planning and very generous provision of "extras". Well done and thank you one and all... Would highly recommend your company any time.
Bob. Copenhagen to Paris Tour

Thank you...for a wonderful experience. One take home message that I have from our grand expedition is that the second tier cities are often equally rewarding to visit, equally exotic to the foreigner and much more tourist friendly; if only because there are relatively so few tourists.
David. Copenhagen to Paris Tour
See David's personal blog.

The Copenhagen to Paris ride was great...the guides wonderful.
Michael. Copenhagen to Paris Tour

Well organised, great fun. Lots of on road support. Good food. Would like to do it again. Thank-you.
Tracy (QLD) Perth to Geraldton 2018

What a great adventure the P2B ride was, thanks to a magnificent team from AllTrails. A trip I will never forget, gee it feels like it was sooo long ago now. Your highlights list covered it well and apart from some unpleasant wind events it was a ride that will take some matching. Many, many thanks for your commitment and enthusiasm to make the ride so enjoyable. It takes a lot of energy and patience to do a month long trip, but you all seemed to do it pretty easy. Well done and again congratulations on a terrific tour.
Rob. Perth to Broome Tour

It was a great ride and I really understand how much work went into delivering it, both before and during. I think given some of the weather conditions, length of the rides on many days and food and accommodation pressures everybody worked together to make it a terrific event.
Sandra. Perth to Broome Tour

Excellent planning, excellent execution, excellent mechanical support, excellent company, excellent accommodation, excellent food and the resolution of my serious mechanical problem (broken axle) was done efficiently and effectively. Topped off by my memorable birthday celebration.
David. Murray River Tour

As usual All Trails ride is extremely well organised keeping the standard high and looking after the participants. The friendly atmosphere generated makes us all feel important and welcome. Two sensational dinners and good brekkys... On the whole a most enjoyable ride with great people and lots of laughing and only one snake and echidna sighted!
Joan. Autumn Rail Trails Tour

We are back home as of yesterday and just wanted to say Thank you both, we really enjoyed the trail, company and your smooth running of the trip. Looking forward to seeing some more rail trail trips in the future.
Bar & Mike. Autumn Rail Trails Tour

I finally did one of your rides which I enjoyed a lot. I only hope now that I can do others... For me I was grateful to be picked up with the bus on the first day. Which is why this system is a great way for me to ride and travel. All of the locations were well chosen, given number of people, cost and experiences. Regards to all and look forward to more trips.
Judy. Autumn Rail Trails Tour

We shall wear [our AllTrails jerseys] with pride and remember the amazing memories we made along the Great Ocean Road in your generous and delightful company! ...Thank you so much again for a spectacular GOR adventure!
Margo & Norman. Great Ocean Road Tour

A fantastic trip, superb weather planning (you must have a direct line to the weather gods) and the best meals ever. Looking forward to the next one.
Alan. Murray River Tour

Yes there were many memorable times... I think the two best days for me were the ride from Swan Hill to Tooleybuc and Waikerie to Blanchetown. A special moment would be a choice between on the boat at gunbower creek especially after dark and the early morning ferry at Mannum. Your organisation of the tour was brilliant and I most appreciated your support when 4 of us had not quite followed the arrows and needed to regroup. Also when I was given a warning that the Murray Bridger cycle path was not suitable for my bike as there were a couple of very tight squeezes! I have really enjoyed the experience and look forward to joining you again.
Ed. Murray River Tour

I had a great time doing stage 2 of the Murray River Cycle tour. It was a great experience and hopefully we might cross paths on another ride. Thanks to Richard, Jo, JB and Midge for all their hard work.
Peter. Murray River Tour

Hi All and once again thanks for the great ride. Overall I really enjoyed the whole thing...I think the three of you on the ride and Midge at home do a fantastic job. You all seem to find a great balance between working and being a part of the group. I would probably never undertake something like this on my own, so its great that you take the pain out of it all.
Sandra. Murray River Tour

Just a quick note to say thank you to both of you & JB Jodie & the Scribble Pad for another great bike ride... I get older & slower but the fun is just as good. Looking forward to my next ride sometime in the new year. Congratulations to both of you on maintaining the fun & harmony with a great mob of people.
Paddy. Great Victorian Bike Ride

Firstly thanks for a terrific Great Vic ride. We enjoyed it immensely, such a bonus sleeping in nice motels and looking forward to a massage on most days, not to mention the get together dinners.
Robyn. Great Victorian Bike Ride

The bike trip was fun in spite of the rain and the AllTrails part was well done. I was pleased with the planning and the extra things like transporting our bikes to Sale, and getting me a separate room when Kirk got sick. JB as always, rendered expert support when needed and it was wonderful just knowing that he was available. All in all, it was a great experience and I look forward to a repeat next year. I want to thank your whole team for their efforts in making the ride so successful.
Craig. Great Victorian Bike Ride

Every single thing was great! Wonderful organisation from you guys and fantastic support from JB. Having a massage was such a luxury too. We had the best time!
Susan. Great Victorian Bike Ride

Thank you to all the team at AllTrails for a great Great Vic. As usual we were well looked after...Richard and Jo did a fantastic job looking after us in the unexpected circumstances [of the final days cancellation]. I had a great time.
Gwyn. Great Victorian Bike Ride

Thanks for a great bike ride and for taking care of us all so well. This was our first real AllTrails ride as the other one was in conjunction with Cycle Old and we appreciated the attention and support you provided at all times during this Daylesford venture. The quaint picturesque country back roads were fabulous, really pretty and with some exhilarating downhills...We thoroughly enjoyed the Champagne Train - it was fantastic on every level and the friendly, consistently attentive service and delicious home-made finger food and tasty curry were all par excellence... Thank you again and good luck with all your upcoming rides.
Toni. Daylesford Cycle Weekend

Loved meeting the AllTrails people and finally finding out what Ken has been doing for many years on his mysterious bike rides. A great idea to invite non riders and partners. Loved exploring Daylesford. Well done.
Sheila & Ken. Daylesford Cycle Weekend

I loved every minute of the Daylesford Ride. My favourite ride the Day 2 out to Trentham and back...Everything was very well organized and such a happy atmosphere continuing the All Trails philosophy of happy riders makes for a happy tour. Thanks to you all for making it a pleasure to participate in the ride...Well done to all three of you.
Joan. Daylesford Cycle Weekend

I enjoyed it all and feel grateful for your help. Favourite day was definitely the Wombat State Forest. Perhaps being Day 4, I had my cycling legs. Everybody made me feel welcome, all without exception, and that was lovely being there, not left out ever. So thanks again, Richard and JO. I always advertise you, talked about it yesterday and I am riding today,will tell them, if anyone asks. My best wishes.
Helen. Daylesford Cycle Weekend

Richard and I just wanted to write and reiterate how much we enjoyed the AllTrails Great Ocean Road Tour. In particular, we felt you all struck a great balance between being very organised (which you were) and allowing us to do our own thing in our own time.
Katie & Richard. Great Ocean Road Tour

Jo and Richard owners of AllTrails were excellent and paid great attention to all the details necessary when bike riding. Although the riding was quite demanding due to the never ending climbing during the first two days of our 4 day ride, we enjoyed ourselves. Accommodation and food provided were best available and thoroughly enjoyed after a day of bike riding. Whilst riding through the Snowy Mountains was difficult, Jo and Richard have many rides throughout each year ranging from small group rides for a few bike riders to large group rides.
David. Great Alpine Road Tour

Many thanks for your wonderful hosting and organisation during my recent Bike Queensland experience. I doubt the event for me would have been in anyway successful without you.
Barry. Cycle Queensland Package

Thank you for another great AllTrails - supported Cycle Queensland. All Trails support – always excellent and this year was certainly no exception. Always reassuring to know that we could leave our bags at our departure each day and be certain that they would be waiting for us at our destination. And I have to commend the choice of afternoon teas each day – very tasty. Lou’s massages were the most relaxing I have had – I’m sure they helped me over those hills. Midge’s friendly efficiency continues to make the pre-tour arrangements go extremely smoothly. Congratulations to you all ...
Bob. Cycle Queensland Package

I thought the trip was tremendous. It was superbly organised and run, the route we took was spectacular and mostly very bicycle friendly (as were European drivers which was a very pleasant change from home). The hotels we stayed at ranged in quality from OK to excellent, the food at the organised dinners was consistently very good, the hire bike was excellent, but the thing that really made the trip work was that it was a really good bunch of people to travel with.
Jeff. European Cycle Tour

A really well organised; very well guided and good value for money tour that will live long in the memory as the hardest, yet most rewarding physical endeavour I have tackled, certainly since turning forty! This trip was meticulously planned and organised, which is a tribute to AllTrails and the two guides. Any slight glitches to program were effortlessly worked around and a good sense of comradery was maintained throughout the touring party largely due to the obvious effort expended by the Company and the guides directed at ensuring all participants were safe; enjoyed themselves and above all had fun. No trip of this duration is going to be cheap in aggregate but in my view given the quality of the accommodation provided; the very good food (with very few exceptions) and the range of snack foods/fruits/wine tastings etc provided (as well as birthday cake!) I think represented extremely good value and well worth the overall cost. It is a tribute to AllTraills that at no point did it appear attempts were being made to cut corners on cost and in fact my observation is that the company were particularly generous in going "the extra mile" to ensure a really good time was had by all...as each day passes and the reminiscences become more and more heroic the reminders of the pain fades and what is left are wonderful memories of a truly great experience that I simply would not have missed. Thank you to everyone who worked so hard to get me there and home safe. All and all we loved the experience and would thoroughly recommend AllTrails as a first rate touring company, run by delightful, thoughtful and generous people in Jo and Richard.
Bob. European Cycle Tour

I went for my first ride since the trip yesterday and it was gratifying to feel so much stronger, and enjoy riding so much more than before we left. While I found the trip very difficult physically, it’s good to know my body can still respond and improve - worth the effort. I’m also so pleased I’ve had an opportunity like that to see that part of the world; it’s an extraordinary section of Europe with huge variety and really interesting history and continuing issues etc, all of which augmented the riding element enormously for me. Having such experienced, knowledgeable, fun and intelligent European guides also made a big difference to my enjoyment. I appreciated too the level of accommodation, particularly the fact that many of the hotels were a bit special. Overall, it was a fantastic trip that provided opportunities to both improve and enjoy my riding while exploring a deeply interesting and beautiful part of Europe. Thanks for the company and all the help you provided on the way. Richard, we would never have made that leg into Cortina without you!
Tania. European Cycle Tour

Simply a brilliant journey , taking in contrasting landscapes from the rolling winelands outside Adelaide through some uniquely attractive parts of South Australia culminating in the stunning scenery along the Great Ocean Road and a beautiful final spin up through Mornington . Overnight stops were well chosen with warm and accomodating hosts wherever we ended up . To be able to see all of this and only have to worry about getting up and cycling every day made the whole experience all the more memorable so a huge shout out to Richard & AllTrails for taking care of everything. So many highpoints on the trip it's difficult to pull out specific instances. I intend to get back and cycle more in Australia and will certainly talk to AllTrails when I do.
Paul. Adelaide to Melbourne Tour

Thanks again for an awesome tour! Even with the dodgy weather, I thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. Your attention to detail, effort and flexibility made for a relaxed and fun trip. The accommodation & food was all fantastic and the route so well planned. Tidal River was beautiful – the views from Mt Oberon & along the river were well worth seeing, as was Walhalla. I hope I can join you on another trip soon (and will bring some friends).
Julie. Gippsland Tour

My best day was the most challenging day and of course that was day 8 to Walhalla. Hard to say which location I enjoyed most out of Wilsons Prom and Walhalla. Both were wonderful in different ways. Highlight was the meals together at Wilsons Prom. Support by Alltrails!! It was always there but it reached a highlight on the day from Venus Bay to Wilsons Prom. It was dangerous to ride and you went out of your way in the rain to fit us and our bikes/gear into the vehicles AND in such good humour. Thanks Richard and Jo. You were exceptional.
Brian. Gippsland Cycle Tour

Thanks once again for all your work to make the trip successful. We are going to put out of our memories forever the triple threat of the Yallourn hill, the headwind and the rain all at the one time!!! Organisational highlight would have to be fitting all of us and bikes into the vehicles and getting us to the Prom. Great work.
Sandra. Gippsland Cycle Tour

I just wanted to say "Thank You" for such a great time in Mornington recently. Apart from the wonderful weather you ordered for us, there was lovely, friendly company from other Riders, enthusiasm and good spirits every day. The planning for each day, made me feel safe and confident out on the road. Especially the back up in vehicles provided by you both. The riding was magnificent with great mixture in terrain and challenge. My enjoyment of this Ride is emphasised by the fact that I have just paid a deposit for my next All Trails Ride. See you on the Great Alpine and Ocean Road!
Gabby. Mornington Long Weekend Tour

It was a truly wonderful 4 day bike riding weekend! Thank you so very much for your good natures, your good humour, your thorough planning and thoughtfulness, and your energy which was boundless! It was a true delight to be in your company and I say very well done All Trails 'Mark 2'. It was a lot of fun and your lovely personalities made it very relaxing. Thank you very much again. You must have been exhausted by the time you got home! Thank you both /all very much again and I'll spread the word to others.
Jan. Mornington Long Weekend Tour

I thoroughly enjoyed the tour and although the weather wasn't kind, in some ways it added to the tour. I enjoy hills and mountains. I really enjoyed Day 8 Morwell to Walhalla. I thought the section from Erica to Walhalla was super spectacular. Favourite location - RACV Inverloch and Walhalla. Favourite highlight - not knowing this part of Victoria, the tour showed me the best parts of Gippsland. Favourite Eating Location - Ristorante le Ricardo. Congratulations to Richard and Jo, you have moved AllTrails to a new level and made it yours.
Phil. Gippsland Tour

The ride was great - I enjoyed it immensely - all aspects of it - staying in the same room was a winner - meeting lots of new riders - enough of a challenge in beautiful country - good variety of activities along the way - yes, I would do this type of tour again and am thinking seriously of the Melb Cup weekend. Thank you again for your support.
Lindy. Mornington Long Weekend Tour

You know that I enjoyed it, loved the interesting company and managed to do some riding every day... i loved telling people about Arthur’s Seat, Red Hill and Shoreham, they were hilly . Great having the valuable support vehicle, and the interest and encouragement from the organisers. I always tell everybody in my bike groups about what i am doing with All Trails, show them the day sheets etc. Great having the non-rider option for the partners.
Helen. Mornington Long Weekend Tour

Back in Melbourne after thoroughly enjoying the Peninsula 4 day group ride. Thank you for your help and time.
Rhonda. Mornington Long Weekend Tour

I had a lovely time. Great company! As I texted to a good friend this morning: "Riding (with AllTrails) is enjoyable because the people are great - no whingers, no high flyers - just friendly, helpful cyclists who are interested in others....
Sue. Mornington Long Weekend Tour

Thanks for those terrific photos of a wonderful trip. Your unfailing good humour and care for the riders was outstanding. The camaraderie and fun were also right up there!
Cathy. Tasmania Tour

Thanks for hosting the ride – really enjoyed it and the camaraderie!
Tim. Tasmania Tour

Peter and I had a great time. Well done all!! Unbelievable weather and scenery. Til next time.
Anna. Tasmania Tour

My fellow cyclists were a friendly and sociable bunch and made the ride good fun together with the AllTrails staff.
Brian. Tasmania Tour

Thank you so much, we had a fantastic trip, I cannot believe the weather was so beautiful. The trip was wonderfully organised so a big thank you to all of you. Richard and Jo were so easy going and thoughtful, and Peter and JB were my life savers, they gave such encouragement and support. Again thank you to all, we look forward to our next trip with all trails.
Kerry. Tasmania Tour

For me, the East Coast ride was excellent with good hills and very scenic. The weather of course always makes a ride and we were blessed with this. Temperatures around 8-20 degrees makes a welcome relief from the humid and hot Brisbane weather. The group seem to gel very well. The group dinners were excellent which allowed for the group to blend in. The organisation for the rides with signage on the road made it easy for riders of all strengths to follow the route. Safety is an important issue which was certainly addressed by Richard and Jo. The group on the final day was guided by vehicles front and back across the busy bridge of the Derwent river into Hobart - Thank you for that. I would certainly look at booking another tour with Alltrails.
Peter. Tasmania Tour

What a great way to see Australia! Thanks AllTrails for taking care of everything so we could just enjoy our riding. I really appreciated the thoughtful planning of our Tasmanian tour and also knowing we had full support from the AllTrails staff at all times. Now I just need to plan for when I can do another tour...
Chris. Tasmania Tour
