★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Fantastic! This was an amazing way to do some of the rail trail (although they offer tours of all lengths), it was definitely VIP and extremely reasonably priced. We were provided with a couple of high-end ebikes, driven to the start of our section of trail and met our guide (Nick, no, not me) at points of interest where he shared his amazing knowledge of the area and its history. A delicious morning tea and Cafe lunch was provided along with water and everything we could need to stay safe on the trail. This was well worth it despite the inclement weather and Nick kept in touch to ensure we were happy to continue. We will definitely be back to do some more!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I was a bit nervous about whether I would be up to biking this far (as a non-biker) but I needn't have been at all. It is totally doable for all ages. With Off-The-Rails you get a personalised service from the moment you arrive (even the family made home baking for along the way!) Nick has done this before! He knows what you'll be thinking, what you need to know, when you need to know it, and absolutely everything there is to know about the history of the area. You feel in safe hands the whole way through - and you learn so much! Nick is a professional, he is very health and safety conscious, and has everything planned out for you from the moment you arrive. Having said that, it isn't a race and he is also aware it is a holiday for most, so there is flexibility along the way. We weren't interested in racing off, but enjoying the journey - the scenery, the cafes, the little towns along the way - and that was all fine. The bikes were great and made the bike ride so much easier to manage on the occasional slope. The accommodation was warm and welcoming, and in our case with our own bathroom. We are so pleased we did it and are keen to progress with the Clyde to Lawrence Stage 2 trip. Thanks Nick and Pauline - it was a fabulous experience!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Phillip & I would thoroughly recommend cycling the Otago Rail trail with "Off the Rails". We had a wonderful time. Everything was well organised, accomodation great and good variety of lunch and dinner establishments. Really enjoyed the curling and all the history of the area provided by Nick and Rock. Excellent trip.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Our family of four, including two somewhat ornery teens, just completed the Otago Rail Trail with OffTheRails. We had a fantastic experience! We loved all the history that Nick provided, the attentive check-ins along the way to ensure we were doing OK, and the thoughtful extras like curling in Naseby! The accommodation in the cute cottage in Ranfurly was very comfortable and the dining facilitated by OffTheRails in amazing places like St Bathans exceeded our expectations- thanks Nick and Pauline for some wonderful family memories!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Our group did the four day cycle tour with Off the Rails. It was an absolutely brilliant experience. Pauline and Nick really looked after us; their knowledge of the local area and its history is seriously impressive, as is their organisational skills and hospitality. We had a lot of fun cycling the rail trail, going out for dinner with the tour group, and having a go at curling. It was a real bonus being able to stay in the one location each night and not having to unpack and repack each day. The accommodation was lovely, and we got a plentiful continental breakfast each morning. I highly recommend this tour company.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The Best Family Holiday Experience!
Our family group of 6 were blown away at the hospitality Pauline and Nick provided. We had the most incredible time! I don’t even know where to start.
The accomodation was wonderful, owned and operated by these two wonderful people. The tour was detailed and they literally think of everything down to every last detail!
I cannot say enough about their knowledge and passion for the area, the rail trail history and for hosting.
Our kids loved spending time with Pauline while the adults did things outside of riding like curling and enjoying the lovely dinning offerings around the region. We really felt they became a part of the family and we were so sad when the 5 days had to end.
The bikes are wonderful and new and comfortable. The tour van new and spacious and lovely. I could go on for hours about how great this trip was.
Experience it for yourself! Our recommendation is the whole big package. You won’t regret it one minute.
Thanks so much Pauline and Nick.
We look forward to exploring another part of your beautiful region with you again soon :)

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We had the most wonderful time on this trip, Nick & Pauline made the trip seamless and our driver "Rock" was an absolute local legend, we had great accomodation , full larder for continental breakfasts and a lovely fruit cake I am sure Shirley made, the bikes were top notch, the knowledge that both Nick & Rock had for local history was amazing, Rock was the best coach on our "curling" night, lots of laughs, beautiful scenery in the back blocks, local lunchs along the way in lovely small places, great pubs in Ranfurly, Naseby & St Bathans.
I would recommend this trip to anyone and everyone.
