I feel I am fortunate to have traveled to Entebbe where I met up with 6 fellow cyclists, our Tour Guides and from there commenced a 2 week trip to many interesting places in Uganda. Most nights we pitched our own tents, sometimes we stayed in more luxurious places. Always we were accompanied as much or as little as we... More

I had been on a trip (adults only) with Escape Adventures four years before going with the kids. My initial experience was such that I just dreamed of sharing a similar experience with my three kids. John and Mandy tailored the trip to suit us, and even organised a football match against the local school. My kids all played football... More

John and Mandy run a super slick operation. Their years of experience mean the right things happen at the right times. They have a way of encouraging and challenging and getting out the best in people. Escape have great destinations and I would highly recommend any biking holiday they run! More

I've been on two trips with Escape, the Heaphy Track (opening day 3 day/2 night trip) and their tour to Tanzania and Kenya. They are very experienced, good organizers, know their routes in detail and have the best guides. In Africa each day of riding was varied and carefully chosen and their local knowledge and the enthusiasm of the guides... More

Escape Adventures did things we could never have done on our own no matter how much we had pre googled our bike trip to China, like being able to pick the whole party up when we were enveloped by a sudden storm at 3,000 metres altitude, like being able to negotiate with the regulatory authorities authorities when they seemed to...

So many fond memories of an exciting 16 day cycle trip. Right from day one of the bustling streets of Chengdu we manoeuvred our bikes through millions of other bikes/trucks/cars and made our wait to the most remote parts of China. Biked through hot and steamy rice fields up to mountain peaks over 4,000 metres. Altitude was managed very well... More

My trip was to China in August 2010. I found out about Escape Adventures from local advice and their website. I chose this company because they were NZ-based and offered a suitable itinerary. The pre-departure information was variable in preparing me for the trip. The expected road conditions were incomplete. Initial info stated “80% paved; 20% unpaved.” So I expected... More

We did the trip in May 2011 when the Heaphy first opened. We had a great trip and the guides from Escape Adventures were excellent. Everything was well planned, the bikes great and after the carnage we saw on the track it was nice to know they had the ability to repair the bikes and keep us going. Food was... More

3 of us rode the Heaphy track with Escape Adventures. We had only a small window of opportunity, but they told us they could do all the organisation. And they did. Fantastic preparation, experienced guides, and very capable bikes made our trip fabulously easy. The 3 preceding days of torrential rain did not detract from the riding, which is all... More
