Reviews of Wheelie Fantastic | Specialising in Unique Great Taste Trail Tours |

Thank you Nicky and Lisa for your amazing organisation and support during our 4 day Great Taste Trail. Bikes were really good and perfect accommodation along the way for our group of 7. We had a blast visiting the eateries and galleries you recommended. We definitely look forward to booking with you in the future.

Nicky and Lisa did an awesome job from planning to execution. They were attentive in listening to our preferences and requirements and always available both before and during our 6 day cycle trip. The e-bikes were in perfect shape and everything went really well. We also had a bit of fun and good laugh along the way…. We also did a day on a private charter with Abel Tasman Charters, thanks Rod Stuart for an outstanding day. Highly recommend Wheelie Fantastic and AT Charters.

Our family of four used Wheelie Fantastic for a six day trip on the Tasman Taste Trail in December 2021. They totally lived up to their name! Lots of helpful insights and suggestions on the planning side and incredibly helpful once we were on the road. Very happily recommend.

If you’re planning cycling the Nelson Great Taste Tour and need someone to put a package together choose Nicky from Wheelie Fantastic Cycle Tours. Their mantra is ‘you decide we provide’ and that is exactly what they deliver. Not only is this ride varied and interesting but Nicky’s organisation and meticulous planning, communication, choice of accommodation, e bikes, and support before/during the ride is exceptional. Our 10 bikers had a really fantastic time. Nicky just goes out of her way at all times. We absolutely recommend this company to organise your tour.

Fantastic holiday! Nicky was amazing at helping us sort out all the details and making it fit for our family. We had a fabulous 3 days cycling along the great taste trail with hidden gems identified for us to visit along the way! The accomodation and food recommendations allowed us to be thoroughly spoilt and feel refreshed - would highly recommend Wheelie Fantastic Cycle Tours😊

A great four days spent meandering through the countryside, coastline and small towns around Nelson. Such varied scenery, delicious food, friendly helpful people (we did get a bit lost occasionally). Nicky of Wheelie Fantastic did a great job of setting our itinerary as we wanted, booking accommodation and a shuttle bus, and giving us comprehensive notes. We saw places we definitely would have missed without her suggestions. Highly recommended!! Some highlights (see photos): superb baking at Wakefield Bakery, happy, healthy, curious and active free range chickens at Quail Valley Farm, sunset at Kaiteriteri Beach.

Really great time on the GTT. Nicky and Lisa made the entire trip, from pre-planning for 7 people to completing the ride, a joy. We will definitely come back and ride the soon-to-be completed parts of the Trail. Thanks for a fab holiday experience!

We had an amazing trip organised by Nicki at Wheelie Fantastic. Nicki was a great communicator and everything was perfectly planned. She went out of her way to personalise our experience using her local knowledge of all the best places to go. All the accommodation was really comfortable and varied to keep the trip interesting. We would definitely recommend using Wheelie Fantastic for a memorable, well organised and awesome Great Taste experience.

Absolutely fantastic company that I highly recommend for and cycle tours in the area. We did parts of the great taste trail and it was amazing. Lisa and Nicky (owners) are great and always will to help out in any way. The bikes are also in great condition.

I cannot praise Nicky and Wheelie enough!From the outset Nicky managed to put together the best possible itinerary after just asking a few questions by email. She met us at our gorgeous accommodation (For Puffed Pedallers) and went through the itinerary with us. She handed out maps, handwritten notes, vouchers and talked through each day ensuring we knew what would be happening day by day. We managed to ride over 100 K of the Kaiteriteri to Nelson part of the GGT in 2 1/2 days with stomachs full, legs getting a workout and stunning sceneries rolling in front of us. And every day Nicky met us with a smile and great advice. We rode 2 generations side by side and with different abilities but still had a blast thanks to the Wheelie company. Thank you!

A fantastic tour! Nicky and Lisa were wonderful and made it so easy for us to enjoy our trip. All the hassle was taking out of the organising so we could just enjoy. Well planned, great advice, stunning scenery with lovely eating spots and wineries along the way. The accommodation they selected was just what we needed after a day's cycling!

This was such a great trip to do with friends, would really recommend the cycle and using Wheelie Fantastic to make it happen! Nicky and Lisa made the whole experience so easy and fun. Their choice of accommodation, recommendations for great stops along the way, and right down to the gear they provided, were all perfect. They helped make the whole trip a truly excellent experience!

We had a great ride and the organisation and service from Nicky and Lisa was brilliant. No hesitation in giving them full recommendation for anyone looking for a company to use.

Hi Nicky Sorry it's taken a while to get back to you! Jose & I haven't forgotten about our wonderful 5 day cycling tour with Wheelie Fantastic in January of this year, 2019! We enjoyed the exciting daily planned cycle tours, the different sceneries, the wineries, the art galleries and generally the whole week in Nelson! In particular we loved the warmth and professional rapport that Nicky offered us on a daily basis. We felt at ease knowing that she was there for us, guiding us through different options as the weather changed. The bikes were in tip top condition and great to cycle! Thanks Nicky! We hope to explore Nelson again soon:-)

We spent a great two days on the self-guided tour around Nelson. Wheelie Fantastic lived up to their name - the bikes were in great condition, the itinerary/maps provided easy to follow and informative,. Nicky and Lisa sorted our accommodation and pick ups and drop offs and everything went seemlessly - Lisa even rescuing us during the torrential downpour on our second day! Thanks very much, we will be back. Highly recommended 👍

Nicky and Lisa were so helpful and went out of their way to ensure we had a great experience in and around the Great Taste Cycle Trail. We would highly recommend Wheelie Fantastic. The bikes were great and we were given maps and an NZ mobile so we could contact them easily if need be. Their van to pick us up and transport us to our start points was very comfortable. They have a very good knowledge of the local area plus a great sense of humour:) We chose self guided, but I'm sure Nicky and Lisa would be great fun on guided tours.

Awesome biking adventure! What a fabulous time we enjoyed in Nelson for our 4 day biking tour! Nicky planned the perfect getaway for us... from the moment we met at the airport, everything unfolded easily and effortlessly ~ great bikes, beautiful attention to detail, amazing B&B (thank you Chrissie @ Higgs Rd!), marvellous daily itineraries that allowed for explorations along the way, yummy restaurants... I could wax lyrical about our experiences! Our conversations with Nicky were insightful, entertaining, knowledgeable, and really assisted in giving us a lovely overview of the Nelson and Mapua areas. Almost sorry it ended... can't wait to return! Thank you so much, Wheelie Fantastic!!

Our first cyclng tour ever and we are hooked! We followed the Great Taste Trail and loved every kilometre of our journey. Nicky organised a fantastic itinerary for us so that could experience the best of what the region had to offer. The bikes were well maintained and easy to ride, we were provided with detailed maps and instructions and it was reassuring to know that Nicky was just a phone call away if we needed any assistance. Thank you for an amazing experience!

Incredible service and immaculate bikes, a must do when in the Tasman region. Nicky and Lisa are fantastic hosts and made us all feel very comfortable and capable. Can’t recommend their services enough!

Wheelie Fantastic is absolutely amazing. We did three days unguided, but prepared with excellent information, track guidance, and local recommendations. It was one of the highlights of our trip. Lisa took care of all the little things and it was so, so easy. A beautiful way to see the area, highly recommend. And you get awesome goody bags too!

We had a wonderful afternoon courtesy of Wheelie Fantastic. Not only did we have a fabulous bike ride, but owner Nicky McBride helped my husband and me with general planning and tour advice for the Nelson/Bronte/Mapua area. Nicky was very personable and professional - planned a ride that synched perfectly with our abilities and interests. We would unhesitatingly recommend Wheelie Fantastic!

We just had a fantastic cycling and kayaking trip put together by Nicky at Wheelie Fantastic. She took care of everything - great accommodations before, during, and after the cycling part of the trip, nice bikes, excellent recommendations for routes, sites, restaurants, etc. Although the Abel Tasman kayaking part of our trip was run by Wilson's, Wheelie made the whole thing seamless; we didn't have to worry about a thing. Nicky even made revised route suggestions based on local conditions (e.g. impacts because of the increased wildfire risk). Nicky and Lisa are extremely responsive, friendly, and easy to work with. Most importantly, their local knowledge helped ensure that we got the most out of our week in the Nelson/Mapua/Abel Tasman area. We highly recommend Wheelie!

My wife Wendy and I cycled for 5 days out of Nelson. It was wonderful- great scenery, nice welcoming people, good food and wine, incredible seascapes. All brilliantly organised by Nicky from Wheelie Fantastic. We are in our mid sixties and each day was strenuous enough to be great exercise by not so challenging to be daunting. Accommodation was great and the bags were there each afternoon when we arrived.

The 8 of us, 7 riders, had a great time on our Taste of Tasman tour. The company tag line, 'you decide, we provide' was met every time. In fact, the most difficult bit was doing the deciding. Excellent bikes for our various sizes and shapes; excellent maps, good recovery for poor navigation (he will never live it down) and flexibility for the non rider, made for a memorable trip. We highly recommend Wheelie Fantastic.

Nicky and Lisa went above and beyond our highest expectations to arrange an itinerary that gave us a wonderful opportunity to really enjoy what the area had to offer. Nothing was too much trouble. There was always an excellent Plan B if needed. The bikes were brand new and with great maps and track notes made the riding a pleasure. Would highly recommend and hope to go back again.

Our travel company recommended Wheelie Fantastic Cycle Touring for ride in the country side near Nelson NZ. The previous day my wife injured her knee hence was not able to bike with with me our friend. Nicky and Vanesa did not miss a beat. They took extra care to ensure my wife would have a great day enjoying our days cycling highlights by riding in the support vehicle and the great company Nicky. Vanesa rode with our friend and me. She too was great. Since we are older, she did an excellent job guiding us on the paths ensuring a safe and enjoyable ride. So much for the mechanics. The ride and experiences were fantastic. We learned a great deal about the country side which included stops at historical sites and an outstanding restaurant for lunch and conversation. Their willingness to share their knowledge of New Zealand was also enjoyable. It was a great day. Many thanks to Nicky and Vanesa for the great biking adventure.

I would definitely recommend a holiday with the Wheely Fantastic girls, who, true to their name, ensured we had a wheely good trip. Nicky took all our requirements into account ie a scenic cycle, not too many hills, off road mostly and good food and drink stops. Her added suggestions of a day trip to Abel Tasman National Park, craft shop and winery visits were also very much appreciated. Even when a cyclone appeared on day 5 Nicky was able to rearrange the schedule with a minimum of fuss. A memorable holiday experience. Trish Pease.

Unbelievably beautiful and carefully curated ride! Nicky (owner) and Vanessa (guide) were warm, engaging, knowledgeable, and fun! They took the time to get too know us, set the right pace, and showed us parts of the area that tourists rarely see. We felt like locals! Highly recommend, and would hire again!! Tracy and Carl Rowe, Boise, Idaho.

Fantastic trip, Nicky was great and had everything ready to go for us, bikes were lovely to ride, and she had loads of great tips about local food and wine. Track was easy to follow and off road for the vast majority with quiet streets the rest of the way. Well worth the trip

What a fun, educational day with Nicky. She was personable and so knowledgeable about the Nelson area. She supplied a fantastic picnic lunch of local products, and introduced us to beautiful wineries and artisan's shops along our drive. Would highly recommend this group, on or off bikes. They're the real deal.

If your after friendly , Knowledgeable tour operators then look know further. Wheelie fantastic take you to some of the loveliest spots that only a local could know about. From Wineries to cafes and Art Galleries. Fancy biking some of your way around the Nelson/Tasman region then they can sort that for you too. Bespoke Itineraries are their speciality. Would not hesitate to recommend Nicky or Lisa to anyone in the future.

Wheelie Fantastic? Absolutely! Nick and Lisa worked around the Nelson bushfires, evacuations, and trail closures. We had a great tour. Super bikes too.

The name says it all. Nicky & Lisa "bent over backwards" to accommodate six of us. Nothing was too much to ask for - tailoring the rides or other activities, like a walk in the Abel Tasman NP , was managed with aplomb. Highly recommended.

Such a professional but friendly and welcoming company; Nicky was able to answer all our questions and alter things to our request. The tour itsslf was fantastic and we will definitely be rscommending the tour to our friends!
