About Cycle Turismo

Cycle Turismo is a boutique provider of high quality guided and fully supported cycling holidays for the discerning international cyclist.

We provide an exemplary cycling package; enhanced with a profusion of gourmet food, premium wines, quality accommodation, and natural beauty. 

It’s more than just the cycling. It’s about seeing New Zealand close up, and experiencing a range of activities and little indulgences; allowing you to enjoy good things in life, at a relaxed pace

The Cycling:

After years of cycling experience both domestically and abroad, we believe that the road cycling routes we’ve selected are as good as anything, anywhere in the world, designed to reveal the scenic beauty of the region and typified by wide open spaces, meandering roads, rolling hills, breath taking scenery and rural off-the-beaten-track charm.

The tours have been created with the "athletic beginner" in mind; someone with moderate fitness, who is open to some physical challenge. The rides are between 40 and 60 km (25 – 35 miles) per day, or 1.5 to 2.5 hours in duration. We specifically use back-roads with low traffic volumes, fewer intersections and other hazards.

Many of our customers are cycling beginners relishing the opportunity to ride without traffic rushing by, though most are enthusiasts looking for enjoyable, social rides in beautiful, new terrain. Each day we have interesting or challenging diversions en-route, which we’ll point out, or additional routes riding with the Cycle Turismo crew for those seeking a longer, more demanding ride.

Small Group Tours:

We offer small group tours (of 2 to 6 cyclists);to enable you to have a more personalised and interactive holiday experience. Discover new favourite places, experience our “kiwi” culture and make friends with the locals

The Refinements:

Our accommodation partners have luxury or deluxe ratings. The majority of these are unique boutique lodgings often within or surrounded by working vineyards and available to Cycle Turismo only because of our Small Group Tour policy.

You will dine in some of the best slow-food restaurants in New Zealand, and enjoy some unique local delicacies.

Being a fully supported cycling tour, we provide you with a helmet, cycling kit and bottles, all of which is yours to keep, an outstanding bicycle, a guide who rides with the group, and a driver for luxury transfers and cycling support. We hire the best people and use the best equipment to ensure your comfort, safety and ultimately…your satisfaction. So...sit back, let us take care of the details, and...

Enjoy your ride.
