I have to admit, I wasn’t sure what to expect when I decided to take my Mexican partner (six months pregnant) and our two children aged 9 and 11 who had never travelled to my home country to Tasmania for a four hour cycle tour over Easter Sunday. The brief was not an easy one given to hosts Sally and John. We wanted a leisurely few hours of bike riding through a couple of vineyards, have a ride on the beach and to eat some nice food. The day unfolded with John taking myself and the two young girls on a leisurely bike ride along the beach (yes you can ride mountain bikes on sand!), Sally arranged for a 15 minute oyster briefing at Melshell Oysters with a complete picnic lunch prepared and we then finished up the day burning off the oysters, cheese, Easter eggs, salmon and wine with a bike ride around Gala vineyards. The preparation that Sally put into the entire day, the care John put into making the young girls feel welcome at the start, hosting my pregnant partner in the support car whilst we were on the mountain bikes was sincerely the most enjoyable toured event I’ve ever had. As an Aussie Banker based in Dubai, Sally and John gave my family the most enriching few hours in Australia that made me feel so bloody proud to be an Aussie - thank you for the heart felt and magical experience - we’ll be back!!!!!!

We hired bikes for our family of four for half a day. After taking a quick tour of Swansea and stopping for a delicious breakfast at Artifakt, we rode around the headland and then out to Kate's Berry Farm at the suggestion of Sally and her husband. It only took 10 mins and it was a lovely ride.
The bikes were in great condition, we were also provided with helmets and Sally was very easy to communicate with. Thanks Sally!

Sally and Alex were absolutely phenomonemol. They made feel you welcome and comfortable throughout the tour. I would recommend this to my family and friends as they went out of their way to make sure that I had a special birthday.

We are a group of 4 from HK , we didn't do the tour but a full day rental instead. Since it was rainy in the morning , we almost decided to cancel the trip,but luckily turned out to be sunny in the afternoon, so we stick with our plan and have started our bike trip around 1pm. Sally and John are very nice person and provided many advices for our trip. Our goal was biking to Melshell Oyster farm then return. Google map advised one way is 47 mins so I think we would have more than enough time to handle this trip... But end up we got tricked by Google map , it took us to go through a bush and rough gravel roads, it was 4pm when we finally get to Melshell oyster, right before they close! The staff at Melshell oyster are very nice, they told me they have a lot of customers biking to their place but they have never seen people biking there from the way that we took, lol!! So each of us have a dozen of oysters as our rewards, it was the most delicious oyster we ever had , it's the oyster full of sweat and effort!! We know we are late, return trip is all about hard pedalling, but still took us almost 2 hours to get to see Sally and John again. I think Google map projected bike time is only reference for expertised bikers , not for amateur like us.

Afterall, when we talked about what was the most memorable thing in our 2 weeks Tasmania trip, we all agree this bike tour is the one!

Highly recommended , but if you are an amateur biker like us , I think better do the tour with Sally.

Sally picked us up from our accommodation, that was the start of a fantastic day. We rode mountain bikes through paddocks & stopped at some great wineries. Had a fantastic lunch all supplied by Sally & John. Had a great day, I would highly recommend this winery tour.

I had a fantastic ride with Sally last week through the vine and across paddocks. Sally is a very friendly and knowledgeable person to lead a cycling tour. The route is very safe and there is no need to be concerned about it being difficult. It was so much fun tasting wine too!! The lunch at the end of the ride was a stunner. All local produce. Sally has made her experience a very authentic Tasmanian one. Thanks!!!!!

Sally and John went out of their way to make our cycle tour unique and a truely unforgettable experience! We were picked up from our accommodation then set up on our mountain bikes which were very comfortable and fitted with helmets. Sally lead us on a leisurely cycle through four private vineyards giving us local knowledge along the way. We stopped regularly to take photos and of course visit cellar doors for wine tastings. We were delighted to see a private picnic table set up in one of the vineyards with a bottle of wine and charcuterie board just for us. The tour ended with an amazing lunch with another bottle of wine and we were transported back to our accommodation with full bellies and happy hearts. This was a definite highlight of our Tasmania trip and we would recommend anyone of any fitness level to book a Swansea cycle tour.

Thank you so much for your review. It is great to know that our cycle tour was a highlight of your Tasmanian trip. John and I enjoy striving for great experiences for customers with our tours. The local wines and produce are excellent and we love to share it with visitors. We feel that the easy cycling off road through the paddocks and vines is a great experience.

Had a brilliant day with Sally on a private tour. We started with a peaceful ride along the beach topped off with an Oyster tasting. We were then transferred, with bikes, inland to take a tour around 4 vineyards - stopping for a cheese and wine picnic - ending with a lovely lunch at the Milton vineyard. Sally and John couldn’t have done more to make the day such an enjoyable experience. Everything was so well organised that all you could do was enjoy the scenery, the wine, the food and the company. A beautiful day in beautiful countryside.

The 4 Vineyard Tour was a great way to start our annual girls weekend on the East Coast.

Sally and John are very friendly and flexible. Sally went all out to make our day an enjoyable experience.

It was fantastic to be able to be picked up and dropped off at our accommodation.

The 6 of us plus Sally had a fabulous ride through peaceful farmland, sharing the way with a few sheep and visiting 4 wonderful vineyards all interesting and special in their own way.
