What people love about Bicycle Tours in Australia
- Tour de Queensland Rail Trails
The tour trails are not challenging and there seemed to be as lot of repeat scenery as that is Australia when you go out into the countryside. The guide was excellent as reading the day and making adjustments to suit the heat that came around 11.30am to 12pm. This meant we did a lot of driving to and from the trail to avoid the heat of the day. The guide was also good at adapting the tour to suit the level of the people on it. I would recommend this company as they do have great tours available.
