The Ride Guide Queenstown, NZ — Local services in South Island

Going to Queenstown with the family, my daughter and grandson (14) wanted to do some MTB trails. The options were a little confusing for a first time visitor, especially as we were travelling without bikes and transport. My daughter came across the Ride Guide and after a few emails with Liz who was very helpful, and a few calls with Finn she had a program sorted which included pick up from accomodation; great bikes; trail shuttle and a guide. Unfortunately on arrival she was unable to fully participate, but Finn was very accomodating and was able to work out a program which allowed my grandson to maximise his MB experience and for our daughter to have a bit of a go. They had an absolutely amazing day with some tuition in the morning on McnealyGnarly then hit a few trails on Coronet Peak in the afternoon. In the process we all met Finn and were impressed by his skill and willingness to be flexible. Highly recommended if you want a mountain bike experience in Queenstown with a personal guide. Nothing like having a local take you to some off the best trails Queenstown...

Total Gamechanging Coaching Session A TOTAL game changer! In just one 2hr x 1on1 coaching session with Finn - I'm riding 100% more confidently!!!! I now know what position I should be in, how to break correctly to keep solid and feel safer on my bike. I've had a full suspension bike for 20 years and I didn't realise I'd been riding old style! After a few injuries I'd lost my confidence, hence going to Finn. Straight after our session I biked at 7 mile and did 3 berms I NEVER do - and was seriously instantly better at everything I did! He even changed the position of my brakes on my handle bars (I've had it for 5yrs) and made sure each component on my bike was adjusted to suit me!!! I'm excited to practice what I've learned. Then I'm going back for another one...

Excellent service and a lot of fun. Today I had a 1 on 1 tour with Finn on the Bush Creek Loop to Arrowtown experience and cannot rate him high enough. He was patient and kept a pace that suited me in my first real MTB ride out in New Zealand and matched the tracks that were within my ability and skill level whilst also providing advice to improve my riding at the same time. I wouldn't have been able to explore any of the excellent countryside without his experience and knowledge of the local area.

Would definitely recommend booking the E bike option for this experience, and would definitely recommend his service for anyone in the area looking to see the best trails that Queenstown has to offer.

Thanks a lot Finn....
