"Thanks Steve, Tim and Chris for loading and unloading bikes and bags everyday, enabling us to enjoy as much of the South Island as we could in our short visit. For rustling up some great picnic lunches, and the reassuring blasts of the horn to let us know you were near, as we cycled in various conditions. For organising kayaking and the Fox Glacier walk, both new exciting memorable experiences. You made it a really good trip for all of us." Kathryn Hall, UK Great West Coast Cycle.
