We came to Australia for a wedding, then travelled about with family until we were finally free and on our own. In Europe we cycle tour alone a lot so we decided to look for a touring company who could set something up for us here in Australia. Stumbling upon ACT we liked the sound of the 5 day Murray to the Mountains Tour (Brown Brothers winery may have been an influencer) emailed and without any fuss or bother a tour was arranged. Even though you’re supposed to have booked and paid a month in advance! So competent! The hire shop in Beechworth where we collected our e-bikes could not have done more for us, the route is immaculately presented on your phone and fascinating places to stop like wine tasting, olive oil farms, a cheese factory, pumpkin seed, recommended cafés to stop at made each day a real adventure. The accommodation was excellent and at every location Beechworth, Myrtleford and Bright in a convenient place for walking to get some supper. And…. oh joy, our luggage was picked up and waiting for us in our room when we arrived in the afternoon. In case you haven’t guessed, we really enjoyed the trip and can’t recommend Mary Kate our kind and very tolerant organiser more strongly!! Thank you ACT The Armitages
