5.00Well worth it! Saw amazing sights that otherwise wouldn't have. Easy riding, mostly flat. Alfe was a great guide, always felt safe. Good value for $.
Great tour to see Moshi!

5.00I had a wonderful tour with Alpha. It allowed me to see a side of Moshi that I would never have been able to experience on my own or while driving. We visited villages, local life, and farms, and I particularly enjoyed the forest. The total tour lasted about five hours and covered 35km. I'm not a regular biker, and I did it after trekking Kilimanjaro in 32°C heat. The path was mostly flat, with a total elevation difference of 130 meters. I highly recommend it!
Fantastic guide and route!

5.00It’s a great idea to take this tour — it allows you to visit the villages around Moshi, get some exercise by biking, and the staff is very friendly. We finished with an excellent traditional Tanzanian meal.
Best day activity to escape from tourist spots!

5.00Had an amazing experience exploring the surroundings of Moshi with Alfa. We visited villages, sugar cane crops, rice farms, and the forest. Everything was great, including the very good bike and great food. Highly recommended activity for anyone who wants to see more than a safari and a hike on the Kili. Thanks again Alfa 🙏🏻
Great way to get a glimpse of local life.

5.00I did the bike tour before hiking Kilimanjaro, hoping to get a bit of a sense of local life. I had a wonderful guide who was knowledgeable, keen and spoke very good English. We cycled through the sugar cane plantation (with a quick stop to sample some sugar cane and look at the view from a lookout tower), a couple of villages (including rice fields), by some baobab trees (tasting their fruit), the forest reserve (seeing colobus monkeys and baboons), back along a railway, through a busy market, finishing off with lunch at a local restaurant. The guide was excellent at providing context for what I saw. The bike tour was a worthwhile experience.
Good bike tour - some communication issues

4.00I enjoyed this biking tour around Moshi and the surrounding farmlands, and the traditional lunch at a local restaurant at the end was a good final touch. My only complaint is that no pick-up time was organised for me, so a driver turned up unexpectedly at my hotel, despite me sending a message the day before to explain that no one had arranged a time and please contact me.
Great trip! Nice guides,...

5.00Friendly and professional, they can tailor the tour for you, you can pay by credit card if needed if you contact them last minute too to see if spots are available. Bike tours are the best way to safely get to see the realbway of life and local attractions. If you get tired you can ask for car transport to be arranged. Also have packages to bike to the hot springs. Ask about the tour to the Eekanubi underground, the locals call it the caves but it's actually an underground acient city carved into the soil under the forest. They have cultural events there or just you can book to see the underground tunnel and learn how a local tribe embraced they way of living and form a cohesive social structure under the ground. The guide is the project manager there who is so inspired and makes,the tour interesting and have a fun way to present it.
Great biking tour!

5.00This tour is not only a great way to see the gorgeous landscapes and interesting wildlife around Moshi, but also gives you a glimpse of everyday life in the city and surrounding villages. The team at the bike shop and my guide were very friendly and helpful. The lunch was tasty. If it is a clear day, just be ready for the sun, which gets strong towards the end of the tour. Would recommend this to anyone who loves biking!
