Bruce Maunsell

Bruce Mcrew Escape Adventures bike tour guide

Cycle Tour Guide & Biking Guru

Meet Bruce. Bike nerd and passionate advocate for type 2 fun! Bruce reckons he’s finally qualified after training for this job for decades. He’s been involved in tourism and hospitality since before others on our team were born (true!) through sea kayaking, charter yachts, cafes and restaurants, and more recently setting up an epic lodge on one of New Zealand’s cycle trails.

Bruce lives in the bush in New Zealand’s King Country and he’s happiest on his bike, or standing knee deep in one of New Zealand’s wild rivers fly fishing for lunch, and camping out by night. Bruce has been known to take a year away from guiding to sail the world, if he’s on his bike with you ask him all about it!

SMALL GROUPS

When we say small, we mean up to 12 people only. That lets us focus on you and your unique holiday, and not on a big unwieldy group of cyclists.

Expert Leaders

All our cycle tours are led by two of our Escape Adventures leaders. We pride ourselves on the calibre and resourcefulness of these great people who you will be spending your holiday with.

Keeping It Really Local

We know that our most precious memories are of real people. We’ve been going to the same villages for many years. You’ll meet locals on their terms, and make friends that will seem like family when you leave.
