  Suitable for most ages and levels. - A great day, riding was not strenuous, suitable for most ages. It did take concentration on some of the narrow paths.

  A must- do!  - I couldn’t recommend this highly enough! Everything is thought of and Phil and the team take care of you every step of the way. It was an incredible experience, and... read more they are so knowledgeable that we leant a lot about Hobart history at the same time.

  A must do bike ride!  - After reading the reviews we had no choice but to go on the ride and so glad we did. Rich was a fantastic guide and explained everything, what, where, how... read more and when. We rode through a beautiful rain forest area and were not disappointed. Will be telling all our friends who are planning a trip to Hobart to jump on this ride. Thanks Rich 🙂

  Great experience . Don’t miss it  - Well organised and informative . Leaders were very responsive to the different fitness and experience levels . That said, the whole tour can be done with very little peddling if desired.

  All round super service  - Very high quality service from the folk at TMBA Sorted the bikes out for us, gave us plenty of time for briefing us on bikes and the route.. HIghly recommended.

  If you can ride a bike, BOOK THIS TRIP!  - The trip was incredible! I booked for myself, my dad & my uncle while on a family trip to Tasmania and by sheer luck we were the only 3 who... read more had reserved the tour today! It made for an incredibly personal experience and we got to travel at our own speed with our host catering entirely to us. (Don't count on this though as it is an incredibly popular tour and for good reason!) I would definitely class the experience as 'easy' as long as you are confident on a bike. Both my dad and uncle are around 80yrs old and due to the gradual decline from the top of the mountain to the base, there is very little effort required except for some mindfulness cycling on a couple of forest/rocky tracks & fun technical turns - but these are all taken at a cruisy pace and advice is given on how to navigate them best which was very useful! You don't need to be an expert BMX rider, as long as you are confident on a bike the rest is just all about enjoying the gorgeous sights & history that Mt Wellington has to offer. Truly beautiful ride with so many different types of forest - so thankful we booked it, none of the photos do the real experience any justice!

  Great experience  - What a great experience riding down Mt Wellington from the summit into town, beginning on the ride and then through the forest into suburbia.

Our guides were informative with... read more history, flora & fauna and general information on the area during the transfer up the mountain and during the ride back down.

The TMBT team made sure everyone was comfortable and familiar with their bikes before we set off.

There was plenty of opportunity for those who like a little bit of speed and our guide explained how to manage your bike off road giving tips when needed, safety advice and support to those who needed it.

Highly recommend and I would definitely do this again with them.

  Unimpressed, description misleading!  - While visiting Hobart, as part of a cruise vacation, I participated in what was described/titled an easy mountain bike ride. Earlier this month we signed up for the downhill... read more ride from Mount Wellington.   

The guide was very professional and pleasant, although didn't provide much commentary as described in the marketing material. In addition, "my opinion", guide wasn't entirely focused on the "full groups" varying levels of mountain bike cycling experience or abilities (especially during inclement weather).  For example, when we reached the top of Mount Wellington (high winds, very cold, snow and sleet), not ideal for the start of a bike ride adventure. 

In addition, he seemed focused on staying up with the "youngest (twenty something or younger rider)" in a competition of skills
rather than with the other five middle aged participants.

The website advertising is a misleading in terms of the reality of what the ride really entails, particularly as it relates to skill levels. Quite frankly the inclement weather, trail conditions, etc . and the guide should've made the call to suspend or change the "adventure" to other trails due to the muddy, slippery trails, which were not conducive or safe.

During my adventure I took two hard falls due to the conditions of the trails (muddy, wet. slippery) and was very fortunate not to seriously injure myself other than a few scratches, cuts and legs bloodied as a result of the falls.  Once the weather improved, and near the end of the excursion, the guide suggested I walk the remainder of the "adventure" due to the 28 upcoming hairpin curves.  I did as he suggested.  He was kind enough to come back and pick me up at the reservoir, but the whole experience was a bad one and frankly a waste of my $100+. 

I strongly suggest your skill levels be grear and that the companies website/descriptions be updated with a few of the concerns noted above.

  A great morning out in Hobart  - We had a great time with good advice and instruction from Richard. We were to start by being taken by bus to the top of Mt Wellington. From therewe were... read more to ride down on the mountain bikes that were supplied. Unfortunatly The weather turned when we reached the top and it turned into blizzard conditions. A descission was made to drive us back down about 1000 ft and make a start. The rest to the ride was great and the lower sloops took us through the rain forrest. That was amazzing and it ended with us coming down a newly made switch track. 28 turns on a narrow track. Richard instructed on the best way to make the turns and we all got down safely. Would recommend this outing
