We are proud and honoured to be at the centre of the AllTrails ride community and we love to see cyclists come together for a ride as strangers and often leave as life-long friends. If you don’t have a friend who has been on one of our tours, ask around amongst your local cycling community to see if anybody has – we have been around for a long time so often you will find somebody who knows us. If not, let us know and we will be happy to give you the names and telephone numbers of people who have participated in a similar ride to one which you are considering. Where possible we will provide you with the details of someone within your city or state. Below are a few of the words of thanks we have received along the way from our long list of happy clients.

2023

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

I very much enjoyed the October 2023 GOR trip. [The crew] were very friendly, which created great camaraderie amongst all the cyclists and they also helped with mechanical issues on the bikes. It was very well organised (accommodation, meals, transporting baggage, etc) and catered for riders of all standards. All I had to really do was enjoy the cycling! John (NSW) Great Ocean Road

Thank you so much for an amazing week. It was much more challenging than I expected but I am so glad I did it. I’m feeling a great sense of achievement, as well as exhaustion! Thanks for all your hard work and support along the way. Jane (VIC) Great Ocean Walk

Can you please book us in [for the next tour]! The Goulburn River ride last week was a sensational ride…we had a great time with beautiful scenery, terrific accommodation and a great group of riders. Many thanks to the crew for looking after us so well. Pam & Colin (VIC) Goulburn River Tour


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

2022

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

…had a great time on the trip and especially enjoyed the variation in the trail surface each day.... lot of fun!! Brendan (NSW) QLD Rail Trails Tour

I’ve had a ball and am disappointed to be leaving early. I appreciate you making the process seamless and hope to join you again. Joe (QLD) Darwin to Broome


…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

After the final day on tour: By 5:30 we were sipping a chardy while watching the sunset over St Vincent Gulf. 6pm we were in the Horizons Cocktail Lounge for final briefing (very brief), then at 6:30 retired to the Promenade Restaurant for our Final Group Dinner. A few stats: 23 riders (9 ebikes) on Stage 1, 10 riders (3 ebikes) on Stage 2, 20 ride days, 1897km, 10,200m of climbing, min temp 0.8deg, max about 22, many cool mornings, only 1 day with rain, 2 or 3 leg massages, many spectacular sunrises & sunsets, fabulous accommodation & meals, 2 punctures (on the same day), no falls or crashes! See ya next time I ride with AllTrails. Dennis (QLD) SA Explorer Tour

I would like to thank you all for your terrific organisational skills. What a fabulous trip riding the Eyre Peninsula! For me it was a personal challenge; it was time away with the pure pleasure of simply getting on the bike and enjoying the scenery. It was just lucky for me my long standing friend Jo found your site and invited me along! We had a fabulous time. I truely appreciated your team’s efforts. There is certainly a lot to put together to achieve the end results. I have followed one of the fellow riders who did the second half of the trip. It would have been fabulous! I will follow your trips with interest. Friends have been keen to know how it went. You come highly recommended! Julia (VIC) SA Explorer Tour


Cycling testimonial

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

Thank you so much for helping me celebrate my Retirement after 45 yrs of nursing. What a great way to celebrate life on the other side. The group were fantastic and the ride has left me with many memories. I will highly recommend this ride to my friends. I was very impressed with the Covid plan on the ride. Hope to see you again soon. Lorraine (NSW) Central West Tour

Multi night stays, well organised, ran smoothly, Jo and Richard were approachable, Dundullimal provided Australian history, arrows good.

we really enjoyed ourselves. We stayed safe and healthy...a good holiday !!!

Diane (NSW) Central West Tour

 

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

We really enjoyed the tour and were very impressed by the organisation and attention to detail provided by Richard and Jo. The final dinner was excellent. We would not hesitate to recommend AllTrails to our friends. Ainslie (NSW) Central West Tour


Just a short note to say thank you for help organising our Central West Tour. We had a great time the group were lovely and we had lots of laughs. Looking forward to my next trip. Prue (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

Wendy Sub.jpg

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

Liz 1.jpg

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

John Sub.jpg

A group of 18 riders rode from Perth to Adelaide (2800 km) crossing the Nullarbor under the excellent guidance of the AllTrails team Richard, Lou and Doug. What an experience!. Well done to the AllTrails team. I can recommend them for any trip they organise. Peter (VIC) Nullarbor Tour

Peter V Sub.jpg

I really enjoyed the trip.  The favourite parts were completing the long sections, particularly the 225km from Southern Cross to Kalgoorlie, and of course the complete ride – a really great sense of achievement!  The experiencing gave me a real sense of what this part of the world is like. And all of the logistic arrangements were superb. Thank you to all, particularly Richard, Lou, Doug and all of the other riders for the great experience. John (TAS) Nullarbor Tour


Heather.JPG

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

Lan and Jan.jpg

The Great Ocean Walk with AllTrails was a wonderful experience. While the 100 Klm 6 day walk was a physical challenge, Richard and Lou looked after us royally. With toe and knee trouble, I was able to take rest days and operate to my capabilities. Loved it. Great care, company, accom and spirit. Many thanks! Jane (VIC) Great Ocean Walk

Alison.JPG

Really enjoyed the Great Ocean Walk, the scenery was spectacular and it was extra special to see some koalas along the way. The fabulous week was a credit to AllTrails and thanks in particular to Richard and Lou who looked after us so well and were a pleasure to spend time with. I absolutely loved the walk and the camaraderie of our group. I would happily do another trip with AllTrails and would recommend to anyone considering this tour. Alison (NSW) Great Ocean Walk

Waterfield.jpg

A few words on the Great South West Tour. We were looked after very well. On the road, with our accommodation, and we had plenty of good food. I don’t know how Richard and Lou found so much energy! We never got lost for the want of arrows on the road…thanks to you and Joanne for the safe arrival of our bikes and boxes and for a very pleasant holiday. Michael (VIC) Great South West Tour

Steven Mary.JPG

We joined our first AllTrails ride in March and we had a fabulous time…we both settled in to enjoy a really well thought out cycle tour… we appreciated the accommodation, were over fed with great meals, and enjoyed a variety of unique experiences. We especially loved the hour on the fat tyre e-MTB in the nature reserve adjacent to our Otway accommodation. Riding each day was very pleasant and did not overly stretch us…Richard and Lou from AllTrails were great hosts, guides and friends. We now look forward to our next tour with AllTrails! Stephen (ACT) Slow Ocean Road Tour

mary & Scott.jpg

OMG what a truly fabulous adventure, cycling the Flinders Ranges with AT. As our first ever trip with AT, Scott and I thoroughly loved/enjoyed every minute. It was certainly challenging (the terrain) at the same time, this is what makes for a great adventure. ..We have been on many cycle tours (both self-guided and guided) and your Pre-Tour communications have been the “best ever” I have experienced, sincerely I mean it!!!!. Your prompt response and comprehensive communications make for ease of understanding the requirements and planning so as to support an enjoyable holiday. Further, my sincere thanks to Richard who spent considerable time with me over the phone to uncover what type of tour we were thinking of etc, eventuating in the choice of the Flinders tours. I will always be grateful for the level of service you provide. All the AT team were exceptional, on a day were I struggled due to the nature of the terrain, Peter’s support, staying with me at the back, even when I suggested he go on, was amazing and truly appreciated…The genuine care and concern for the safety of the riders by Richard, Peter and Lou was outstanding. Thank you again Midge. Again, even your post-tour communications are a ‘gem’ and truly appreciated. Mary and Scott (QLD) Flinders Ranges Tour

Bev.JPG

Many thanks for another great cycle trip on the Great Ocean Road and also the Rail Trail 6 Pack.  Again your attention to detail re riding routes in the day sheets and local information, accommodation, meals, support and encouragement are second to none.  I’m always confident when I join a tour of yours that it will run smoothly and efficiently and be most enjoyable – with the exception of some hills!!!   My congratulations to you all.  Keep up the good work and I hope to join you on another tour in the future. Bev (VIC) Slow Ocean Road and Rail Trails Tour

Suri.JPG

It really was a magnificent journey… There are so many highlights! The most picturesque for me would be riding from Lake St Clair to Queenstown was breathtakingly beautiful… And don’t forget the great food and drinks throughout the tour…I really want to give a huge thanks to the All Trails crew for their amazing support, encouragement, patience and dedication to make this tour highly enjoyable…The group has been so wonderful! It’s the most caring, friendly, fun and encouraging bunch of people that I’ve been with. We soon became familiar with one another and all of us seem to get along very well right from the start…highly recommended for anyone who loves adventures, beautiful views and some challenges. Suri (VIC) Tasmania Tour

The wonderful experience of cycling Tasmania with the wonderful support of Richard, Lou and JB made the journey very memorable. The accomodation, meals and scenery was first class. We have done many trips with AllTrails and thouroughly reccomend them. Kerry (QLD) Tasmania Tour

Joan.jpg

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

Rob and Amanda.jpg

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.

We are glad to have the memories of such an amazing group of people and an amazing ride. We would like to thank Richard for dropping  us off at the airport. We are very interested in the west side [Tasmanian trip] with an ebike. We look forward to hearing from you on all accounts. Thanks to Jo and Richard for a fabulous week.

What a great tour.  Climbed hills which I had reservations about. Great scenery along the way. Congratulations and thanks to the AllTrails Team for the excellent organisation of each day’s ride, super accommodation and chaperoning of all cyclists enabling a safe and very enjoyable tour.   It is always a pleasure to be part of an AllTrails cycle tour (this was my 7th) and I look forward to riding on another in the future.  My favourite day was riding from Apollo Bay to Lorne and swimming in the surf.

The AllTrails support and organisation was top notch throughout, as usual. Difficult to identify a favourite day, all days were great, but I think the last 3 or 4 days were the best. Especially the last day the scenery was outstanding. We had a great day in Rotorua with a walking tour that was very interesting. It’s another unforgettable experience. Next stop Tasmania February next year! With AllTrails, of course!

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

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.

Thank you very much for all you did to make our Great Ocean Road Cycle Tour a trip/experience to remember, for all the right reasons! Marc and I had the most amazing time, despite the sometimes not so favourable weather conditions, and are extremely grateful to each of you for the organization, the guidance, the encouragement, the accommodation, the food and, most importantly, the company of wonderful people (organizers and participants). We will of course be singing your praises to cycling friends in North America and will wear your jersey as advertisement for AllTrails on our local rides. And we hope to have another opportunity to join another AllTrails tour sometime soon.

Thank you very much for another great cycling tour on the Rail Trails and Country Lanes. As usual the accommodation, meals, support and mapping of the routes were excellent which allowed us to enjoy the experience of riding through lovely countryside on great trails and interesting lanes. My favourite day was riding from Beechworth to Bright. This was my 6th trip with AllTrails and I look forward to another memorable trip in the future.

Danube - Margeurite.jpg

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).

...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.

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.

GF - Gordon.JPG

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.

GF - Tanya.JPG

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.

GF - Eddie.JPG

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.

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...

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!

Lyn_GOR19.jpg

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.

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

John_NZ19.jpg

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

Tom_NZ19.jpg

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

Gary_NZ19.jpg

Fabulous tour! Thank you very much! I’ve already been recommending you to some of my cycling friends, including suggesting they consider next year’s North Island NZ tour. Throughout the tour you guys were on top of things from beginning to end. It was pretty much seamless. Your flexibility and unflappable willingness to adapt in a timely fashion to whatever unforeseen events transpired.

What an epic journey, a great group of people even only doing first half loved all of it. Well organised, great accommodation, great coffee stops, lunches and dinners. Amazing support the whole way through from booking to day to day on the bike...It's an amazing route and so many Fantastic days it’s hard to choose a favourite but particularly enjoyed the first day, and Westport to Punakaki.

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.

Robyn_C2P18.jpg

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.

Alasdair_PerthBroome18 .jpg

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.

...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.

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.

Davd_C2P18.jpg

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I want to thank your whole team for their efforts in making the ride so successful.

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.

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.

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.

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 ...

Jeff_V2P17.jpg

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

Bob_V2P17.jpg

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.

Tania_V2P17.jpg

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!

Paul_ADM17.jpg

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.

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).

Brian_W2W17.jpg

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.

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!!!

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!

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.

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.

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....

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.

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.

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...

MORE TESTIMONIALS

Australian Rides

Having been with AllTrails on two Great Victorian Bike Rides, then the legs Perth to Adelaide and Melbourne to Sydney, and last year the penultimate Rome to Paris, we feel very qualified to write a testimonial to AllTrails…their background work to each ride has every detail, the rides flow with confidence, the support and rapport is even and ready, all making for a friendly experience over and above the joy of the chosen ride. AllTrails is the benchmark of cycle touring in Australia and for a first timer you need look no further. Just book and pedal on. Peter (WA) multiple rides

Once again a fantastic Ride organized to perfection. 20 years providing us with the best adventures on a bike - how lucky we are to be able to participate in such challenging rides with the knowledge we are safe and cared for along the road. Thank you for the best fun, the best friends and great accommodation and food available. Using the local communities for our morning teas and lunch was such a brilliant idea and we loved the interaction with the locals. Thank you to the poets who have provided us with a humourous memory of the best ride, thank you to my Pack 4 friends for their great encouragement and long standing friendship Loved it loved it loved it!! Keep Pedalling and stay vertical. Joan (VIC) multiple rides

This is just a quick note to say thank you for such a great eight days. The ride was challenging but most enjoyable. Richard and Jo, you did a fantastic job of looking after us and I really enjoyed your company...As always the AllTrails support and organisation was excellent starting with Midges query on my plans for 1st October through to the farewell at Queenscliff. Jo, Richard and Midge are always happy to help throughout whether the issue be small or large. Richard’s special early morning effort on 1st Oct to fix David’s bike was exceptional and reinforced his standing as an experienced bike mechanic. In summary, as always, a great trip, great organisation, great company and great support. This is why I come back! Gwyn (VIC) multiple rides

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’. I actively promote AllTrails to my friends and hope that I can do my bit to promote the business. Alasdair (VIC) multiple rides

Thankyou 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 (VIC) Great Ocean Road 2019

What an epic journey, a great group of people even only doing first half loved all of it. Well organised, great accommodation, great coffee stops, lunches and dinners. Amazing support the whole way through from booking to day to day on the bike...It's an amazing route and so many Fantastic days it’s hard to choose a favourite but particularly enjoyed the first day, and Westport to Punakaiki. Charlotte (UK) New Zealand Bike Tour 2019

Fabulous tour! Thank you very much! I’ve already been recommending you to some of my cycling friends, including suggesting they consider next year’s North Island NZ tour. Throughout the tour you guys were on top of things from beginning to end. It was pretty much seamless. Your flexibility and unflappable willingness to adapt in a timely fashion to whatever unforeseen events transpired. Gary (USA) NZ South Island 2019

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 (VIC) Gippsland Rail Trails 2019

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 (NSW) Perth to Broome 2018

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 (VIC) Autumn Rail Trails 2018

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 (VIC) Murray River Ride 2018

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 (QLD) Daylesford Cycle Weekend 2017

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 accommodating 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 (Ireland) Adelaide to Melbourne 2017

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 (NSW) Gippsland Tour 2017

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 (VIC) Mornington Ride Weekend 2017

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 (VIC) Mornington Weekend 2017

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 (QLD) Mornington Long Weekend Ride 2017

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 (QLD) Tasmania 2017

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 (VIC) Tasmania Tour 2017

There was never a night that I didn’t have a hot shower and comfortable bed... Food gets lots of ticks, both quality and quantity, No complaints there. A further thing that I really like about All Trails is there never seems to be any pressure on people to have to hurry along if they are at the back or to ride more than they want. I hope that this continues, as I think that this very much adds to people’s sense of accomplishment and enjoyment of the trip. Thanks so much to JB and Peter who are both always so willing to help... looking forward to riding again with you. Sandra (VIC) Tasmania tours 2017

I LOVED every minute of my AllTrails adventure!! Having never ridden back to back days before I was worried at how I'd go but I found I got stronger as the ride progressed... it was all that I imagined it would be and has certainly whet my appetite for more cycle tours... The AllTrails team organisation and support was top class and the welcoming nature and inspiration of the group I cycled among was fabulous. I have already recommended AllTrails as a company to ride with both in my circle of cycling buddies and in my RPM classes. Michelle (NSW) RACV Resorts Ride 2016

Congratulations AllTrails – once again a very well organised trip which I thoroughly enjoyed. The camaraderie was great as we shared the daily challenges and varied scenery as we pedalled along. The support team added to the enjoyment of the whole experience. Accommodation, meals and support back-up was very good. Thanks for another (my 3rd) fantastic ride. Bev (VIC) RACV Resorts Ride 2016

The 2016 RACV Resorts tour was terrific: wonderful people; great touring (although there was a hill or two); just the right distances and timeframe; excellent food and accommodation; very friendly locals; and fantastic organisation. It is no wonder that riders keep coming back each year to share experiences. See you again in 2017. Bill (NSW) RACV Resorts Ride 2016

eally well organized, everything seemed to run smoothly, but I am sure there where anxious moments behind the scenes. I think the sign of an excellent tour is nothing appears to go wrong and everyone was happy. Well done! All the morning teas and lunch’s where excellent. I enjoyed the ride (especially the hills) and meeting the others...communication to all riders was excellent...comradeship amongst the riders was excellent. I cannot think of anything I would delete. Thanks for a great tour see you on the next one. Tim (VIC) RACV Resorts Ride 2016

Words can't adequately express how I felt being both on this tour and a part of it. Every day was a unique adventure. The riding brought an element of challenge. I fell in love with the South Gippsland countryside - astoundingly beautiful! Excellent customer service! Last night we held a celebratory dinner - Everyone gave favorable testimonies about how great the group and ride was! Well worth every cent we spent! Thanks for everything! This tour was spectacular! Deborah (USA) RACV Resorts Ride 2016

A big thank you for the fantastic organisation and support on the Adelaide to Melbourne ride. Wasn't sure I would even make the distance, but with the great food, encouragement and friendship the ride surpassed my expectations! It was an experience which I will never forget and certainly won't hesitate to recommend to others. Hope to see you again. Christine (TAS) Adelaide to Melbourne 2015

Thanks again for all the effort you put into making the tour such a great one - I will be back again one day for more of the same! Fil (NSW) Adelaide to Melbourne 2015

Thanks again for a terrific week on the road. It was a real challenge, particularly those long days in the middle, however it appears we are pretty tenacious riders. You certainly put in plenty of hard work yourselves and this was appreciated, from terrific overnight stays down to that yummy carrot cake. As stated before, it must be a logistic headache keeping an eye on all the riders with so many variable speeds. Thanks again for an amazing experience and we’ll catch you next time. Fay and Rich (NSW) Adelaide to Melbourne 2015

We had such a great time again. You looked after us so well and wanted for nothing. Your thoughtfulness about catering was greatly appreciated. My favourite day would be The Great Ocean Road. I cannot explain to people how magnificent the scenery was. Looking forward to our next adventure with you. Hopefully in 2016. Lorraine (NSW) Adelaide to Melbourne 2015

It was great to complete the Rock Ride with AllTrails, I thoroughly enjoyed it and it was fun to share the ride with other motivated riders and having a laugh along the way. Your organisation of the trip, the support (including putting on extra water and snack stops), encouragement and 'nothing was a problem' approach was appreciated. I can't fault AllTrails and will be looking forwards to reading the newsletters to see what other rides you organise in the future. I'll be more than happy to do another AllTrails ride if the right one comes up. I've already mentioned AllTrails to my friends and will recommend your company to other cyclists. Karen (TAS) Rock Ride 2015

Thanks again for the trip, you guys really put a lot of effort into running great rides. I think you run excellent tours and cope very well with tired riders and the challenges that come your way. This was my first experience of the outback, I'll definitely be going back. An incredible way to discover outback Australia. A ride that is as rewarding as it is challenging. Thank you to all the AllTrails team. John (TAS) Rock Ride 2015

Thanks for a wonderful week of adventures and nurturing us through Victoria last week. It’s such a relief from my normal work. The encouragement and love of cycling is wonderful. The briefings are amusing and inclusive and occasionally we get some information. Good to review the days ride before moving onto the next day. Excellent that you make sure everybody gets a nod of approval. Excellent organization and everything runs like clockwork. Really enjoyed the ride. Ben (VIC) Cabrini Challenge 2015

Thanks so much for the photos, and all the photos on Facebook. Back in Perth, last week seems but a distant memory. can't believe that the trip went so well and so quickly. I was quite apprehensive at the beginning; not knowing quite what the riding conditions would be like, even though I'd read all the material. It seems that your training regime worked for us because I think I handled the distances quite well. The hills into Cape Schanck were the most challenging, and I felt that I had really achieved something when we rolled into the resort. The climb to Arthurs Seat was almost comfortable, after the previous day's effort. I thought everything was well organized. Thank you all for making the trip so enjoyable. Ann (WA) Two Bays on a Bike 2015

Thank you for a fantastic few days of cycling through some magic scenery, great company and of course being spoilt rotten. I recommend this tour to anybody, relatively short days and plenty of free time. Thanks again for a memorable few days of pedalling and I hope to see you again soon. Bryan B (VIC) Two Bays on a Bike 2015

What a great ride. That was - everything: riders, crew, organisation, route, accommodation, food. Thank you for the opportunity to ride with you once again and for all your hard work to ensure we had a good time. Lindy (VIC) Two Bays on a Bike 2015

International Rides

...a big “thank you” for all assistance and advise in the lead up to this year’s 2018 European Tour, it was much appreciated. 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 (NSW) Copenhagen to Paris 2018

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 (TAS) Copenhagen to Paris 2018

We very much enjoyed our cycling trip. 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 (VIC) Copenhagen to Paris 2018

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 (VIC) AllTrails European Cycle Tour 2017

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 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. 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 (TAS) AllTrails European Cycle Tour 2017

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! .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 (TAS) AllTrails European Cycle Tour 2017

We had a great time on the Rome to Turin ride. Our guides were extremely obliging and did everything possible to ensure our safety and enjoyment. The van was regularly in sight and provided water, snacks, fruit and lifts as required. We also appreciated their local knowledge re sights to see, local food and culture and events to attend. I particularly appreciated the opportunity to attend the Puccini concert in Lucca. We also enjoyed the meals provided that showcased the menus of the region we were in. Ruth and Frank (NSW) Rome to Turin 2016

Kim and I had a wonderful time. Enrico and Roberto were fabulous Tour Leaders. They worked so hard to make our experience a memorable one. John and Kimberley (VIC) Rome to Turin 2016

I had a fantastic time on the ride, with a big thank you to the Alltrails team for making it happen and a huge thank you to the Tour Leaders for their support during the ride. Ben was also pretty amazing. I know he will say he was just doing his job, but knowing he was keeping an eye out for all of us was really valuable. Plus you never knew where he was going to turn up eg in a vineyard or standing on a shed, camera in hand and that big grin! Thanks again to all involved for a fabulous experience! Doug (VIC) Rome to Paris 2015

The ride was one of the most treasured personal experiences of my life, the reasons being; it was a very personal endeavour, it was memorable, packed with daily highlights and done in the company of some fine people. All of this of course achieved because of the organisation that you put in to make the journey so good. Special mention must be made of the five guides who were so cheerful and helpful at all times. Your personal participation was also greatly appreciated. John (WA) Rome to Paris 2014

OMG Italy is such a fantastic place!! Bari to Rome was truly a memorable experience and an awesome ride. Our tour leaders were really fantastic and made the trip a real pleasure. This is our third tour with AllTrails and as per usual the organisation, co-ordination, accommodation, meals, professionalism, knowledge and general 'fun to be with' approach was second to none... we can't wait for the next tour. Finally, our tour group were all a great bunch of people and we all had a remarkable time. Craig & Kathie (NSW) Bari to Rome, Italy 2013

The guides were fabulous and knowledgeable and did their best to accommodate all requests (massage, viewing of TDF at pub, bike adjustments etc). Regional wine tasting and food added to the joy of riding in the area. One of the most amazing things that I've ever done. Kath N (VIC) Turin to Paris 2013

An experience of a lifetime - life-changing! My best day was climbing Alp d'Huez. Mike (QLD) Rome to Paris 2014

Value: I could not have expected more - it was a lot of money but a priceless goal so in my view I got more than I paid for. Sense of achievement: overwhelming - a very lasting emotional experience. John S (QLD) Turin to Paris 2013

We had a fantastico time! Will most likely sign up to do the Turin to Paris leg in 2015. Wendy & Bob (NSW) Turin to Paris 2014

As the lone USA citizen traveling with a group of Aussie's I found myself welcomed and felt part of the group from the very first day. Thank you all of my fellow riders for your company, support, jokes and support. Carl G (USA) Turin to Paris 2013

Thanks for the FANTASTIC Rome to Paris trip – it exceeded my expectations! I really enjoyed the freedom to ride at my own pace, either alone or with others, always knowing that there was support not too far away if required. The guides did a great job. There are so many positives, it was truly great. The weather was perfect, the views spectacular, the company great, and the descent a real buzz. Hopefully I will see you again on future rides in Australia and/or overseas. Phil M (QLD) Rome to Paris 2013

I'm happy to serve as a reference or a resource for y'all should you get any interest from Chicago or its environs or anywhere for that matter. Please feel free to provide my contact information to anyone who would like to talk to a tour survivor. My best to Phil and Susan. Peter (USA) Rome to Paris 2012

‘Australia Ride’ concept:

A big thank you to all at AllTrails who were involved in the planning, organisation and execution of the AllTrails Cairns to Perth Ride 2012. Your efforts were much appreciated and resulted in everything that was promised - a simply wonderful experience that will never be forgotten by the participants. I commend everyone who worked behind the scenes planning the trip as well as Ben, (Tour Leader) and the mechanics, Pete, Thommo and Shorty who worked tirelessly to ensure everything went according to plan and that we were all well looked after and had a wonderful and safe ride. The planning and organisation was second to none, the day sheets accurate and very helpful, the accommodation the best available and the road crew went beyond the call of duty in ensuring we were cared for in every regard. Thanks to everyone for a great experience. Steve F (TAS) Cairns to Perth 2012

The Cairns to Broome ride was my 10th with All Trails and it was nothing short of fantastic. The organisation, support, comradeship and fun was first class as usual and all the little extras which you added, like the data projected outdoor picture show in the outback, made the trip even more special. Congratulations to you and particularly to your tour leader Ben who did an amazing job. Ben worked tirelessly, nothing was a problem, his cooking skills were amazing, he was always willing to help and he was also great fun to be with. Looking forward to our next adventure together and many more great times. Alan V (VIC) Cairns to Tennant Creek & Darwin to Broome 2012

Hi Midge (Office Manager), Just wanted to let you know that I had a fantastic time on the ride from Darwin to Broome. Ben is an absolute star and was a pleasure to be on a tour he was running. Thommo was also fantastic from both the mechanic side of things and general helpfulness. Also some of the old characters on the trip were inspirational, Barry is a machine. At 40 years my senior I was often embarrassed by how strong (mentally and physically) he was! Again, wanted to thank the entire AllTrails team for a great experience. Andrew D (SA) Darwin to Broome 2012

Phil & Susan (Directors), You have a gem in Ben (Tour Leader). He has performed extremely well and was a key to ensuring a successful ride. He is so good he will be hard to hold! His cooking skills were tremendous. Thommo (Mechanic) was enthusiastic beyond belief and assisted Ben in every way possible. I certainly want you to know I have enjoyed and appreciated the rides and the organisation that you have been able to make available to me and people from all over Australia. You manage a great organisation and I hope you continue to provide rides for many years to come. All the best and KEEP UPRIGHT. Ken M (VIC) Darwin to Broome 2012

I’m back at work and just wanted to say a big “Thank you” to your team! The trip was fantastic in all aspects, with absolutely no surprises or disconnects. Considering the number of people and the logistics of being as far away as we were, your team did an incredible job! The food was plentiful and of a very high standard as was everything on the trip. Ben and Thommo, were excellent as hosts, very supportive, communicative and knowledgeable. Supporting that many people and from before dawn till after dusk, would test most people, but they were genuinely interested in our wellbeing and in what they were doing. I would have loved to have kept going! Thanks for a great time away. Jim N (VIC) Kununurra to Broome 2012

If you are thinking about joining a stage with AllTrails - STOP and JUST DO IT! I had a great time and met some inspirational people all in a safe and encouraging environment. Thank you AllTrails - I'll be back! Liz (WA) Coral Bay to Perth 2012

I not only did stage 1, but stages 2, and 3 as well, from Cairns to Darwin. I just thought the whole thing was well organised and Ben, our fearless leader, and Pete, the magnificent mechanic, were outstanding. I cannot speak highly enough of them both. Ben's leadership, knowledge, friendly manner and cooking was first class. I thought I might lose weight on this ride but, after a few of Ben's meals, gave up on that idea! Pete's willingness to assist, and mechanical knowledge made you feel that, whatever the gods threw at us, he could fix. Definitely would do another one, hopefully Perth to Melbourne. Phill (NZ) Cairns to Darwin 2012

Both Ben (Tour Leader) and Peter (Mechanic) were perfect in their respective roles – well done to AllTrails! I commend AllTrails for the calibre of its management, its staffing and the services that it offers. Best wishes for the future and I am hoping to join another ride soon. Alasdair M (VIC) Cairns to Darwin 2012

My first AllTrails tour. I’ll be back. So well organized and great to share the road with like-minded people of all ages. Thanks. Leanne V (NSW) Tasmania East 2012

Great people, Fantastic support, Beautiful scenery. My week off work felt more like a month. Best way to see Tassie. Loved the riding. Looking forward to my next adventure with AllTrails. You definitely cover all the bases. Cheers, Chris W (VIC) Tasmania West 2012

After 15 years of running bike tours, they really know how to do it. You will not find a better group to tour with - everything is geared to a safe, enjoyable and satisfying cycling experience. Most of all, I was welcomed like a family member away on a Summer Holiday. Like many others on what was my first trip, I'll be back. David M (VIC). Tasmania West 2012

The appreciation you develop for the smaller things. Like the hot cup of tea after a tough climb, riding “real” undulations and a warm bath after a day of riding. I have had an amazing week, sharing great times with beautiful people. I’m ready to book my next AllTrails tour!!! Julie V (VIC) Tasmania East 2012

Well apart from the organization people, climate, scenery, food, accommodation & support, I can’t think of any highlights at all. Tony B (NSW) Tasmania East 2012

Wow, great organization, Susan’s muffins, bikkies and scroggin, challenging ride every day, Phil’s tailwinds (in reverse), Phil’s hills (mountains), great company and a bunch of insights from our riding friends that have already made a huge difference. Michael F (NSW) Tasmania East 2012

Ed and I had a great time on the East Coast ride and Ed is still talking about it. The ride was very well organised and it was a great group of riders and staff. Overall, it exceeded my expectations - even the weather! Bill & Ed (VIC) Tasmania East 2012

Susan’s morning teas – not to be missed. Just wanted to thank you for the brilliant and amazingly organised Tassie west coast tour, it was a great experience.– thanks Phil and Susan (Directors). Brian B (VIC) Tasmania East 2012

Fantastic trip. East coast of Tassie is so spectacular. Great to share it with such a great bunch of people. Antje (QLD) Tasmania East 2012

Tassie: What a fabulous place to ride. Always a challenge always enjoyable. Love it. Kevin S (VIC) Tasmania East 2012

Awesome trip. Thanks to Phil Susan Ben and Peter plus all the riders! I am really MISSING the riding and suffering withdrawal - crazy given it was about a 6.15am wakeup every morning for two weeks!! I have friends and family who just cannot comprehend what a great time we had... Robyn B (NSW) Tasmania East & West Coast Tours 2012

Hi Family, Thanks again for a great trip - best ever, group of new friends were all lovely, & the love from you two (Phil & Susan) is awesome. Shaz R (NSW) Tasmania West

Dear Susan, Phil, Peter and Ben, Thank you for organising the Tassie East Ride, I enjoyed the challenge and was really impressed with your planning and service delivery, from the optimistic briefings to friendly road side pickups and those scrummy food breaks!!! Mary G (QLD) Tasmania East Coast Tour

With 15 years of experience running successful bike tours in many areas AllTrails can be relied upon to deliver exactly what they promise - a wonderful cycling experience supported by friendly, professional and caring staff. Phil and Susan (Directors) and their great staff are more like a family than a company. A family that welcomes you into it when you ride with them. I cannot thank them enough for a fantastic East and West Coast of Tasmania ride and strongly recommend AllTrails to any prospective riders considering joining one of their rides. Steve F (TAS) Tasmania East & West

I frequently get around with a smile on my face remembering the Alice ride as it was definitely a highlight for me in many ways...in other words; I just loved the great experience you created. It was one of the perfect challenges!...great organisation, food, accommodation, scenery, demanding mentally & physically and above all, a great group of people. I am looking forward to Darwin. Thanks for the smile on my dial. Alan V (VIC) Adelaide to Alice Springs 2008

Now that the dust has settled (almost literally) after The Rock Ride, it is time to say a big thank you for making possible in the maximum comfort available, another great outback ride. As for the Nullarbor Ride, the catering was again a feature of the event, with both the quantity and quality of the food available being beyond approach, and what other Tour Operator provides a 'Mobile McDonalds' to offer gourmet snacks, and to pander to our every whim at snack, and morning, and afternoon tea stops along the way! The whole event was a credit to your research and organisational skills and I look forward to joining another such ride next year. George B (VIC) Adelaide to Alice Springs & Nullarbor 2008

Thankyou again so much from us for a safe, professional, well organised and superbly supported ride. The FUN FACTOR was just brilliant. Anne and Michael (NSW) Tassie East & West 2010

Thank you so much for a fantastic holiday in Tasmania. We both thoroughly enjoyed your organisation, food, accommodation and destinations. The hills were significant but very rewarding. That's what we trained for, right?! We met such a lovely group of people who you always seem to attract. Special mention to JB (Mechanic) for his great service and company. Peter & Anna K (NSW), Tassie East Coast Ride 2010

The Adelaide to Melbourne trip I did still brings a smile and many fond memories. It truly was the best holiday I have ever had. What you do, you do so well. Plus the camaraderie amongst strangers who share the passion for cycling is deeply special. When I can again make a space in my life, I would love to join you in a cycling adventure. Yasmin H (SA) Melbourne to Adelaide 2006

You have given so many people wonderful experiences and made it possible for people to realise their dreams. You have looked after us so well that we do not have to worry about anything except what the weather may bring. Travelling around this beautiful country on a bicycle, smelling, seeing and feeling the air surrounding us, is such a fantastic and privileged experienced and will be cherished always. What a great feeling. The fun we all had is what makes these trips great! Although I am new to this type of holiday I was overwhelmed on my first experience by the comradeship of the riders and their willingness to help. Without AllTrails I would not have had the most wonderful times of my life. Fiona (NSW), Adelaide to Alice Springs 2008

Support Packages:

Thank you all so much for AllTrails adding such value to my Great Vic Ride. It was good to meet you and finally taste the AllTrails experience after all these years. The package was varied and most enjoyable. Having my own bedroom, toilet and shower (without queuing) was sublime, and where a bath was available it was truly luxurious. Each arvo I would crank up the aircon and, having washed my cycling kit, leave it to dry in my snug nest…I don't believe that I could do that in a tent. Thank you for your fine blend of administrative and organisational skills combined with plain old hard work and cycling smarts. It gave me a seamless worry-free tour knowing that all the details would be taken care of by AllTrails, whether it be the bus pick ups from the end of the ride to my motel and vice versa, the AllTrails bike corral, the afternoon teas, massages...and friendly personal support. I have already booked my place for next year so that is a fine endorsement...a returning client who received service beyond expectations! Jeremy (VIC) GVBR multiple years

This was the best Great Vic Ride I have participated in made all the better with your professionalism the fantastic motels/resorts, great meals etc etc.. Most of all was your never-failing help and good humour. I really enjoyed it all...thanks again and am looking at some of your other tours. Again well done to your team. Tony (NSW) Great Vic Bike Ride 2018

Just a little note of thanks for making our trip so terrific. Good to meet up again with riders met on previous trips as well as some new ones. Nothing too much trouble for Jo and Richard and I am very grateful for the help given me along the way... Massages from Lou were great and JB was terrific keeping our bikes in riding condition. But at the end of the day I love a nice warm shower and comfy bed. You organise this so well. Lauris (VIC) Great Vic Bike Ride 2018

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 (VIC) Great Vic Bike Ride 2018

My wife and I just completed our 2nd Great Vic Bike Ride with All Trails. The service offered by Richard, Jo and the team was beyond the call of duty and as a result we had a great time. With kids in camp with their school group and us in hotels. This worked well until one of the kids was unwell. The team from AllTrails stepped in to help, letting us stay on the ride where otherwise we might have been going home early. We enjoyed the accommodation, the massages and the group. We are looking forward to more rides with AllTrails. David (VIC) Great Vic Bike Ride

Very big thank you for another wonderful Cycle Queensland. I’m glad that Richard and Lou had a fun week because we certainly did. As usual everything went very smoothly, from initial booking right through to the finish in Cairns. And that was despite the last-minute change of start which BQ had to make. Full marks to you all, for all the re-arranging you would have had to do and for still making things go so smoothly for all the participants. Bronnie and I really enjoyed the camaraderie dinners, as well as all the daily interaction with such a friendly group. Thanks again for the great massages Lou and thanks again to you all for making it a great trip. Bob (QLD) Cycle QLD 2018

My highlights: Daintree to Port Douglas ride & Gordon Vale descent, Paradise Links Accommodation & Jackaroo Motel accommodation (clean & food was an excellent standard), Daily massage, Meeting lovely people on the tour including the staff & riders, Well organised transport...Overall a great experience & I would recommend service. Janet (QLD) Cycle QLD Package 2018

It was great to meet you both and to catch up with those other riders who have been down this “road” with Alltrails before ... I was not sure what to expect either from the ride itself or the Alltrails experience. Whilst I have been riding for a number of years now I have never participated in a ride over a number of consecutive days...Alltrails was also a new experience to me...The group of other riders were very compatible and the spontaneity of getting together most nights or just mixing together after the rides was most enjoyable...This made for an exciting new social experience where the topic of bikes was not a taboo and life’s experiences of each individual were gladly shared with others. The comfort of hot showers, soft beds, personal attention and, above all, the massages at the end of the rides was shear luxury when compared with the other options. One really felt for the campers that first night at Tidal River. Your organization and co ordination of the needs of the riders was almost faultless. John (VIC) Great Vic 2017

Fabulous support throughout and demonstrated the wisdom of going through AllTrails. Peter (VIC) Great Vic 2017

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 (NSW) Great Vic Bike Ride 2017

Was my first Great Vic Bike Ride and I am so pleased I chose the Rolls Royce Package to go with All Trails…The accommodation package was great and the two camaraderie dinners I certainly enjoyed. It’s amazing who people are and what they have achieved in their lives, you only need to scratch the surface a little and you get amazing stories. On the Saturday after the ride was cancelled, you two made it all look like it was pre-planned, was smooth, calm, organised or at least looked that way to group… WELL done. Credit to you both showing you can work under pressure. Tony (VIC) Great Vic Bike Ride 2017

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 (VIC) Great Vic 2017

Just a quick note to say thank you to both of you 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 (QLD) Great Vic 2017

We really enjoyed this year's ride and are particularly grateful for your efforts on Friday night and Saturday to get us home safely. We also again appreciated all JB's work to keep our bikes running smoothly...hopefully we'll be able to book for 2018. Thanks again & best wishes. Tony (VIC) Great Vic Bike Ride 2017

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 (NZ) Cycle QLD 2017

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 (QLD) Cycle QLD 2017

I absolutely loved the trip again and the general bonhomie. & I appreciate you put me in with my Tassie chums for most of it - which was great. I'm sure it’s a logistical nightmare - so you do amazingly well. Keith (UK) GVBR 2016

Thank you very much for everything, without you guys I don’t think I could of done the GVBR. I had a very good time my body was able to endure all that was given to it (mind you it will be a very long time when I want to go to Lavers Hill again). I am going to do it again next year but this time the full 9 days. Katalin (VIC) GVBR 2016

As always I had a fantastic time, The best day was Rainbow Beach. Some of the communities put on fantastic morning teas. All homemade. Looking forward to the next one. Lorraine (NSW) Cycle QLD 2016

I would like to thank you all for a wonderful few days that we all loved. The Great Vic Bike Ride was a personal challenge / journey for all of us and each in a different way. We four "Sale Princesses" had not rode in an event before so that in itself was and experience to take away, let alone the fun and comradery that was formed with other fellow cyclists. Thank you all for looking after us, special thanks also to JB and massage crew. All very much appreciated. Heather (VIC) GVBR 2015

I want to thank everyone at AllTrails for organizing such a fantastic event! I loved the cycling...but more importantly I loved meeting so many wonderful people! Steven (USA) GVBR 2015

Thanks for a really great CQ, we thoroughly enjoyed it. Your careful planning and thorough but easygoing approach during the event, made the whole trip most enjoyable. The fact that the whole group was so friendly and interactive added greatly to the pleasure of the trip. Thanks also to Midge for all the administrative and organisational work (and probably many other things that I don’t know about!) that you do very efficiently, which is so essential to a happy and successful trip. Bob & Bronnie (QLD) Cycle QLD 2015

Thanks for your great efforts on the ride. You were marvellous, efficient and tolerant, as usual. Great tour. Thanks. Brian (QLD) Cycle QLD 2015

Thanks for a great experience – I thought everything was exceptionally well organized and terrific support. Delivery of luggage, quality of accommodation, availability of JB’s mechanical support and a massage each day made for the best possible hassle free riding. Thanks Again, I have already told others about the experience. Ed (VIC) Great Vic Bike Ride 2014

Hi all at AllTrails, Another great Great Vic run by your team. I felt that we were specially looked after this year with the premium package and had fantastic accommodation and no complaints. I do not often ask for assistance with my bike but must say that I found JB to be extremely helpful and always willing to help with a smile and a good word. As you can see, I have already placed a deposit for next year which, in itself shows my satisfaction. Thanks again for a fantastic trip. Gwyn (VIC) GVBR 2014

Dear Midge, Phil and Susan, and Ben. The QLD ride was great, and I must congratulate and compliment Ben on doing EVERYTHING (well beyond the call of duty at times) to make our trip as enjoyable and trouble free as possible. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and his smiling happy face, professionalism, knowledge and intellect was fantastic. Thanks so much Ben. I know there is a lot of behind the scenes work done, so thanks to the whole team. Vivienne (VIC) CQ accom package 2013

I had a great CQ this year (my second). This was due in part to better preparation (mentally and physically) and the beautiful countryside but significantly due to my first CQ with All Trails. Pre-ride organisation was a breeze; on the ride Ben's easy style and approachability helped reduce any anxiety; good standard accommodation each night and a wonderful massage meant that I was well rested; and socialising with the AllTrails riders made it fun! I learnt lots and finished the ride feeling really positive (last year I finished in tears!). So there's no going back to the crowds and sleeping under canvas for me. Thanks AllTrails - see you again soon. Deb (QLD) CQ accom package 2013

Congratulations to all the AllTrails staff for handling such a big contingent of riders so well and still giving us individual attention: as usual we had a really enjoyable tour. Jumping into a dry bus and heading for a warm room surely beats camping after a cold, wet day in the saddle. Thought Ben and JB did a super job with the bikes. Robyn & John (QLD) GVBR 2013
