We’re always so grateful for your loyalty and love of riding with us. In the past, when King John rode 10 Odysseys with us, we gave him his 11th Odyssey free. He was the first rider to reach this epic landmark of 10 Odysseys (and roughly 20,000km and 250,000 metres riding with us!)
But as we all know, the world of travel and tourism has changed a lot in recent years. Like so many businesses, we’ve felt the impact of rising costs across every part of what we do — from hiring great guides to hotels, restaurants and logistics – since covid prices have risen hugely. The Australian Bureau of Statistics says they have gone up 20% since 2020. But we have only raised our prices 5-7%. We have done this because we love our community and feel raising prices such an enormous amount is unreasonable. However, whilst continuing to ensure every tour meets the high standards we care about, we have had to make a few select cuts. So we’ve taken time to think about how we can continue to offer something meaningful and sustainable for our riders and our business.
We’ve invested heavily in maintaining a high-quality bike fleet in Europe and Australia to make sure every ride with us is safe, smooth, and memorable. That’s why we’re evolving our rewards: now, after your 10th tour with us, you’ll receive free bike rentals for all your future tours. This way, you’ll still save on every adventure with us.
We hope this feels like a meaningful perk — saving you money every time you ride with us, while helping us continue to offer high-quality Odysseys.
Thank you for your understanding, and most of all — thank you for riding with us!
