  I would highly recommend LRT to anyone wanting a very unique and unforgettable New Zealand experience.
When your ride is over you’ll leave longing to see more of this... read more beautiful country but this trail ride would be hard to beat. The scenery is most awe-inspiring and the ride made easy with comfortable, well maintained bikes with added seat padding if required.
LRT curated the best accommodation, food at our accommodation plus restaurants and pub recommendations along the trail. You get plenty of breaks for coffee, lunch and snacks along the trail meeting locals and other riders. We enjoyed a delicious picnic lunch bag along the trail arranged by LRT and prepared by one of the local restaurants.
The curling and golf was another highlight for us not to mention all the great wineries.
Thank-you Nick and Andrea for going above and beyond. It’s definitely top 10 in our many holiday experiences having lived abroad for 29 years and traveled extensively.
We loved this trip so much we want to do it again with our 2 young adult children.

  We did the Otago Rail Trail in the last week of March. We had a great time. Nick,Andrea, Rosco, Claire and Gwyneth were amazing, friendly and welcoming. Accommodation was outstanding... read more and the side trip to St Bathans and winery visit in Clyde were great. The team took care of everything including transferring our cars from Middlemarch to Clyde. Great welcome pack with info about the Trail and detailing each day of the trip. Appreciated the chocolate to start and locally made soap and souvenir drink bottle at the end. Fantastic experience. Would do the results with them again.

  I can’t recommend this operator enough - Nick went above and beyond and created a great experience for us starting in Clyde and ending in Middlemarch.

A beautiful meal cooked by them, a great night’s sleep followed by a delicious breakfast to start the next stage of the rail trail. We also stayed at Nick’s Mum’s Tiger Hill Lodge in Omakau. I would love to do another trip organised by Luxury Rail Trail Tours.

  I had an amazing time thanks to Nick, Andrea, and Clare. The three of them worked together as a team to look after me and to make sure that... read more everything went smoothly for me. What I really liked was that LRTT was able to do what they said they would do, at the time they said they would do it. Communication with Andrea before the tour was excellent and she cared about what I wanted. Nick took me up to the Poolburn Reservior/Dam so I could see another LOTR filming location and this was one of the highlights of my trip. It was a real pleasure to chat with Clare each time she transported me around. I felt like I was dealing with authentic people with high standards of customer service. There were a few treats added in along the way by LRTT, and any indecisiveness or plan changing by me was well tolerated! I was lucky to have hot fine weather on my trip so I had just the trip I had imagined 🙂

  The 4 days spent on the Central Otago rail trail were beautiful. Everything had been thought of to make it trouble free, We have recommended this company to our friends

  This tour exceeded all expectations from the brilliant accomodating communication to the food, accom, bike equipment and scenery. Don't miss curling in Nasby, it is 'must do'.

  My daughter and I did the rail trail ride under the guidance of Andrea and Nick for 3 days. The ride is fabulous made even better by great hosts and... read more great accommodation. Everything is well organised. Cannot speak highly enough of the hosts. Put them at the top of your list. They are true locals with expert knowledge and foster local foods and wines.

  From the first point of communication to the final farewell, Nick and Andrea from Luxury Rail Trail Tours did an outstanding job. They accommodated our large group, supplied great bikes,... read more beautiful accomodation and superb meals throughout. The cycle itself was spectacular and not too difficult. Photo opportunities incredible and history so interesting. Support throughout the ride was as much, or as little, as we wanted. The optional add-ons were fun and well organised if you want the extra fun. Highly recommend booking with Nick and Andrea once NZ Tourism is back and running for Rail Trail or any other venture in the South Island or even abroad!

I did the trail over 3 days with my Dad and even with 30yrs between us and different fitness levels, we both had a fantastic time!

The weather was fantastic, the daily... read more organisation superb, the scenery amazing, the food sensational and the hosting by Andrea & Nick, was a 10/10.

It's something that I'd thought we'd do much later in life for some reason, however I am so glad that we did it with our 12 and 9 year old. Having other friends with us who also had kids was a great way to do it, as the kids simply went off and took care of themselves, leaving us adults to catch up, admire the scenery and explore.

Thanks so much Nick & Andrea.

  Morning Nick
Just wanted say a massive thank you to you and your team for a brilliant ride on the rail trail over Labour Weekend. It was an epic 4... read more days and everyone enjoyed your hospitality and flexibility, ensuring everything happened smoothly with our group of 16.

The communications were great too, The team are easy to work with and if you just trust them to sort you out you'll have a great time!
We absolutely loved our Trail experiences and have certainly recommended friends do it with this company already! We also loved that we had time to enjoy our accommodation as we got in late afternoon each day.

  A very special trip, what a wonderful team who provided everything for a great, comfortable and very well fed trip.

  It's hard to find the words or the top picks to describe this amazing trip. The start at the luxury hotel in St Claire, Dunedin, was a highlight and... read more a taste of what was to come. Accommodation and food was outstanding all the way. Hospitality was perhaps the prime goal of everywhere we stayed-Kokonga Lodge, Casa Kahu and Pitches Store. Luxury linen, luxury food, and the scenery and towns were unforgettable. Three places opened up, just for us, despite actually being closed. Padded pants help but the ebikes did have very comfy seats, and two in our group managed happily without. Ebikes made the trip really easy for some of us who were less fit, although the cycling enthusiast managed happily on a steam-driven ordinary bike. It's worth biking over the suspension bridge at Ophir which requires a small detour. And the pies at Waipiata Pub are perhaps the best in New Zealand. We did a 4 day ride, with 5 of us, and I could recommend a small group such as this, and we had silly t-shirts made up to add to the fun.
