The guided programme is built around rail trails: former railway lines converted to packed gravel or sealed paths, which means gentle gradients, no traffic and a steady rhythm of small towns every 20 to 40 kilometres. On the Great Southern Rail Trail tour you ride the trail from start to finish over four days, with a day on the Bass Coast Trail added in. The Victorian Rail Trails Combo strings together the Bass Coast, the Great Southern and the Yarra Valley line from Lilydale to Warburton. The Murray to Mountains tour is run as a weekend, based in Myrtleford at the foot of the Victorian Alps, and the operator states it is the only provider running small-group fully guided trips on that trail.

Longer trips cover more ground. The South Australia Vineyards tour is six nights and seven days, riding the Barossa Trail, the Riesling Trail in the Clare Valley and the Amy Gillett Trail. The Tasmania tour runs from Launceston to Hobart along the east coast with a stop in Freycinet National Park. The Queensland trip combines the Kilkivan and Brisbane Valley rail trails and finishes with two nights in Noosa and an easy coastal ride.

Food and wine are part of the riding, not an afterthought. Stops at cellar doors, breweries and producers are built into the itineraries, and the self-guided Barossa and Clare Valley trip names Maggie Beer's and Penfolds among the stops. The Beechworth to Bright routes are built around the Milawa gourmet region.

Self-guided trips work differently. You pick the dates, the operator handles accommodation, luggage transfers and a meet-and-greet on arrival, and you can bring your own bike or hire one of theirs. Routes include the NSW South Coast by e-bike, the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail (at 161 kilometres, the longest rail trail in Australia), the Riesling Rail Trail, the Great Victorian Rail Trail and a five-day Beechworth to Bright ride through Milawa. There is also a single-day Pedal to Produce tour out of Beechworth.

The operator is a member of the Australian Tourism Export Council and holds Quality Tourism Accreditation, and the tours are graded easy — the North East Victoria trip is described as easy with almost all riding off-road.
