“I went on a 14 day tour of New Zealands North and South Islands in January 2026. Travelling from the UK I was not sure what to expect but thanks to Lance and Sally's organisation and knowledge it was an amazing experience and I now have some great memories that will hopefully last a long time. I would definitely recommend Open Road to anyone considering a motorcycle road trip in New Zealand or Europe.”
“From booking to riding, to the hotels and the food, Open Road Motorcycle Tours NZ knocked it out of the park. Lance and Sally run a great operation. The ride was fantastic and was over all to soon! Highly recommend if you're considering a ride in NZ to choose this outfit!”
“If you are considering a guided trip to New Zealand focused on motorcycling and are a competent rider and wish to end your day with fine food and exceptional lodging, then seriously consider this venue.”
