Clutha Classic

  We were booked and had to postpone 3 times due to Covid restrictions. We had paid the full price up front and were encouraged to postpone, which was fine. However... read more after the 3rd time of borders being closed by NZ we requested a refund. This took time and many emails with an unsatisfactory outcome as they deducted $385 from our full payment. Never pay the full amount up front.

  Highly recommended, we had the most wonderful time. Nick and Andrea are very knowledgeable, professional and great to talk to. Them and the rest of the team made... read more it great experience for us. Accommodation was excellent, the restaurants they organised for us were also amazing. They were very flexible and accommodated our every request. The bikes were great and they just provided everything we needed, everything was thought of and we felt well looked after. The trail was amazing and the scenery unbelievable.

  I had an amazing time thanks to Nick, Andrea, and Clare. The three of them worked together as a team to look after me and to make sure that... read more everything went smoothly for me. What I really liked was that LRTT was able to do what they said they would do, at the time they said they would do it. Communication with Andrea before the tour was excellent and she cared about what I wanted. Nick took me up to the Poolburn Reservior/Dam so I could see another LOTR filming location and this was one of the highlights of my trip. It was a real pleasure to chat with Clare each time she transported me around. I felt like I was dealing with authentic people with high standards of customer service. There were a few treats added in along the way by LRTT, and any indecisiveness or plan changing by me was well tolerated! I was lucky to have hot fine weather on my trip so I had just the trip I had imagined :)

  Right from the beginning of enquiring to the celebration lunch at the end of the trail, it was an incredible experience. Nick, Andrea and team are so professional, easy to... read more deal with, very flexible, heaps of suggestions and nothing was a problem. The bikes were superb, scenery spectacular, extra activities fun (Curling is a must) and food + accommodation awesome, especially Casa Kahu !! We had an incredible 4 days, and have recommended Luxury Rail Trail Tours to others. Thanks for helping us create great memories team !! Wendy, Lynne, Maree, Deb

  We had a wonderful experience cycling the Otago Rail Trail with friends and family. LRT are a first class operator and made the experience super easy and fun. ... read more We highly recommend than and will definitely look at other tours with them in future.

  We did the Otago Rail Trail in the last week of March. We had a great time. Nick,Andrea, Rosco, Claire and Gwyneth were amazing, friendly and welcoming. Accommodation was outstanding... read more and the side trip to St Bathans and winery visit in Clyde were great. The team took care of everything including transferring our cars from Middlemarch to Clyde. Great welcome pack with info about the Trail and detailing each day of the trip. Appreciated the chocolate to start and locally made soap and souvenir drink bottle at the end. Fantastic experience. Would do the results with them again.

  Very very good organisers, both the owner Nick and our main guide Roscoe
Accommodation was perfect, no small beds, lots of fluffy towels, and small touches.
Everything well organised. Great... read more quality, just 'cos you're away from home should not have to compromise on the level of your accommodation, and these guys exceeded our expectations in every way...............special thanks to Roscoe........his cheerful face popping up everywhere. If you want the perfect high quality experience and have no idea what to expect ( like us ) this is the one to go with

  We were initially a little overwhelmed by the choice of operators to help us cycle the rail trail and almost gave up booking anything. We wanted a personal experience... read more and the confidence that we weren't "just a number". From our first conversation it was obvious that Luxury Rail Trail Tours would be the perfect fit for us. Our entire experience was professional (and the bikes were better than we expected so that's always a plus). They worked hard to allay all our fears and answer our (many) questions. When it came time to join them, we felt completely prepared. We absolutely loved every minute of our time on the rail trail and wish Luxury Rail Trail tours all the best in the coming months.

  A very special trip, what a wonderful team who provided everything for a great, comfortable and very well fed trip.

  An amazing tour thanks to the team at Luxury Rail Trail Tours.
We travelled with 12 friends for two special occasions and everyone is still raving about this holiday.... read more
We are so pleased we chose Nick & Andrea to host this bike rail trip, fabulous to spend time with you both, sharing your gorgeous lodge and southern hospitality for our anniversary with excellent staff Claire and Rosco always there if needed.
Best suggestion to start at Middlemarch and end up in Clyde.
Thanks for going the extra mile we will definitely recommend to all our friends.

  We were fortunate enough to have an amazing 4 days with great friends, cycling the Rail Trail from Clyde to Middlemarch.

The weather was fantastic, the daily... read more organisation superb, the scenery amazing, the food sensational and the hosting by Andrea & Nick, was a 10/10.

It's something that I'd thought we'd do much later in life for some reason, however I am so glad that we did it with our 12 and 9 year old. Having other friends with us who also had kids was a great way to do it, as the kids simply went off and took care of themselves, leaving us adults to catch up, admire the scenery and explore.

Thanks so much Nick & Andrea.

  This tour exceeded all expectations from the brilliant accomodating communication to the food, accom, bike equipment and scenery. Don't miss curling in Nasby, it is 'must do'.
Cheers Sos... read more and Wendi
