      Excellent way to explore the Blue Mountains
      Wonderful trip, we really enjoyed the easy ride through beautiful surroundings. Sam is a great tour guide and provided us with excellent equipment and a lot of good stories about the area. Definitely recommend this bike ride!

      My mother fell from the bike because of small rocks 🪨 on the mountain. Her knees then proceeded to become infected and even now 3 months later she is still in pain with an inflamed knee. They say that this course was made for beginners but they don’t include that you need the stamina of an athlete. They also do not include that the trail is VERY rocky. It was very dangerous. We are lucky to have only had 1 injury.Not recommended

      Not recommended at all .This is the first time I am writing a negative reviews We came to Australia from New York and on 1st march we book self tour on blue mountain from this website. The guy sent us the video to watch but he didn’t tell us about the track on mountain it’s too rocky and rocks were very slippery too . We are really good bikers and it’s too dangerous to ride on those rocks specially on the hill and it’s the worst decision to book from them they supposed to tell us before tour starting. I fell from the bike 2 times just because of those small rocks and my knee got badly injured and scrapped . We ride back to the spot on same bike. When we came back to NY the guy charged us $120 for broken bike mind it it’s not damaged at all I drove back for 2 hours from mountain. My knee is still not recovering because of internal bruising please please think twice before booking thanks

      Great day - first e-bike on fire trails and Sam made it easy and fun. Could cover much more territory than our old mountain bikes. Highly recommend it.

      Awesome Rainy Adventure!
      Despite the fact that it poured rain the entire time we had an absolute blast. Sam took what could have been a miserable day and made it soooo much fun. Definitely worth it! His knowledge about the area and enthusiasm about biking was contagious and we all finished feeling exhilarated.

      Exceptional trip.
      Sam the owner, was wonderful from start to finish in arranging our 2 sons mountain bike trip. We have 2 sons, age 12 and 13 who throughly enjoyed their experience. Dan catered for both boys who were of different abilities excellently and they both absolutely loved it. They even had a dip in the creek! Sam even offered to provide lunch for the boys, which was a really lovely touch. Our one son had a minor fall whilst riding, and he was thoroughly taken care of by the team. Boys came back smiling and exhausted, a sign of a good day! 100% recommend and will be coming back if we are luckily enough to return to Australia!

      Best mountain bike adventure to date
      Huge shout out to Sam who went above and beyond to get us out ebiking when our original plan didn’t work due to the National Park trail closure we had booked. He did some research and found another great option that didn’t disappoint. The bikes were 5 star, his instruction was fantastic and is one of the most personable people we’ve come across. He communicated and responded efficiently. Our family had a great time and we can’t wait for another great experience with him! Thank you Sam! You are amazing!

      An Amazing Biking Experience
      From the very first contact, Sam, from Blue Mountains Biking Adventures, was excellent. I cannot speak highly enough about the service he provided. He provided us with very wise counsel with regards to using electric bikes for the particular ride that we had chosen. I am 65 and my husband is 74 and we managed the 40 km Mount Hay trail with no problem. We stayed true to our ideals and only used the power when it was necessary. The bikes were in very good condition, and Sam provided all the extras we needed to repair tires and to take care of other minor needs. The day went well and the bike return went smoothly. I would highly recommend this company. Biking is such a great way to see the beauties of the Blue Hills, and Sam, he is simply amazing, and he made our trip an extraordinary one!!

      School mountain biking experience was tops!!
      Sam at Blue Mountains Biking Adventures gave us a fun, smooth and professional mountain biking experience! Thank you!! Being a school group with planned activities including mountain biking in and around the Euroka precinct and Oaks single track, Sam was able to deliver 20+ bikes to ur campsite, including e-bikes for the teachers and give a very informative briefing at the beginning. This set us up for a magnificent day. The bikes were top notch in quality and super reliable. All the kids and teachers loved their experience and had a great day, so thank you!! Highly recommend!

      Unforgettable E-Mountain Biking Experience with Expert Guide
      During my recent biking tour with Blue Mountains Biking in the Blue Mountains, I had a remarkable experience. The utilization of e-mountain bikes added a distinctive and pleasurable aspect, seamlessly merging electric assistance with the exhilaration of personal effort. Sam, our guide, demonstrated considerable expertise as he navigated us through the trails, offering insights into the stunning landscapes along the way. I am eagerly anticipating future adventures with this group, and I highly recommend their services to beginners as well as biking enthusiasts. 🚴‍♀️🏞️

      Sam went above and beyond in the service he offered. Super personable, and we had a great time! The Ebikes are super easy to ride, even going up steep hills. Me and my 60 year old Mother were able to ride in comfort with the battery assisted Ebikes. Highly recommend!

    Sam was a super friendly helpful guide who steered my family in the perfect tour for us.
    My husband 13 year old and ten year old did the hanging rock tour on e bikes while my seven year old and I chose to do the trail on mountain bikes my 7 year old gained confidence and coordination with some one on one time with me while my husband and two other children took off to explore on the e bikes without being held up by us. Sam went above and beyond to ensure we had a fabulous trip and were well prepared
    We couldn't recommend Sam and his company enough
    Cheers Sam and Merry Christmas

    Sam is a legend! He knows the area inside and out and super knowledgable, gave us directions for a walking track after our bike adventure. We used TREK bikes, for those who aren't into bikes, this is a great brand which is super reliable. The trail is beautiful at the moment, after the unfortunate bush fires, the trail is covered in re-growth which provides a spectacular contrast showing the environmental cycle.

    We wanted a group activity for an executive retreat. The ebike tour we took with Sam was absolutely perfect. Sam is delightful and the mix of safety briefing, self discovery/speed and a gorgeous end destination was perfect. Everyone felt a strong sense of achievement and awe in the beauty and forged together even stronger as a group. As an organiser, Sam was faultless. Super positive, proactive and generous with information and time. Would strongly recommend.

    Very easy going, nice guy to deal with. Made it very easy to book and answered all questions quickly. Met us beforehand to give us the run down, went into plenty of detail for the route but I appreciate it isn't signposted and easy to take a wrong turn. Bikes were very good, and easy to ride. We did the Oaks trail and for a group of lads who play football every week, it was pretty tough. Lots of hills to begin with but awesome on the way down. The single track section was very good and made for an all round great mountain biking experience. Would definitely recommend to a friend.

    If you’re looking for an easy booking process, a guide with infectious enthusiasm and just a great deal of fun I would thoroughly recommend you book from blue mountains biking adventures. I booked the
    Beginner friendly half day self guided tour to hanging rock. We booked the e-bikes for this tour and had nothing but fun for the Adventure. Sam was incredibly kind and proactive helping us book this trail. He met us on the day and we were greeted with a boatload of energy, encouragement and guidance to start our journey. Myself and parents in their 60s managed this very beginner friendly track without too much stress and were met with just breathtaking views at the trail end. A big Thankyou to Sam for fitting us in to his booking schedule, teaching us proper riding technique, uplifting us with your allround legend energy and sending us off onto a safe and spectacular adventure. I would thoroughly recommend Sam and his business to any travellers in this region.

    Exceptional! Sam is so friendly, an amazing tour guide and super organised.
    The tour is both a full on bike riding education alongside an exhilarating biking experience and it really let us experience the blue mountains in a totally different way.
    Sam was exceptional at assisting the youngest group members while still making it exciting for the whole group.
    Overall we had an amazing time - and the views are incredible!
    One of the best things to do in the Blue Mountains!
    Definitely recommend checking this out - it’s worth it and then some!
