You’re in good hands with Around The Basin!
We could not have wished for a better day! The company were fantastic and all of the wineries we visited were beautiful. I would highly recommend this day out for anyone who wants to see the valleys famous vineyards and enjoy the outdoors.
Would 100% recommend! Was such a nice day. I didn’t get an electric bike and I’m not skilled and managed fine!
Great day out. Would have been 5 star, if bike was up to standard. Chain came off 5 times in the first few kms. They replaced the bike quickly, were lovely to deal with.
Hi Andrew, Nice to hear you had a great day out. It's a shame there was an issue with your bike - very rarely this can happen, even though we test ride all our bikes before issuing them out...pleased to hear it was quickly sorted for you by out team and you enjoyed the rest of your day :) Cheers Lisa, Around The Basin.
