A rid to remember - Alpha was a fantastic guide with an impressive amount of knowledge on the area and the people. The entire day was more than I expected and we had a blast going through the villages, farmland and the forests. The latter being absolutely extraordinary.
You end with a trip through the train station, then the Moshi market and finally a well deserved lunch which absolutely hits the spot.
If you have a day before or after Kili, I would recommend this trip!

Wonderful cycling tour! - We had an amazing cycling trip with Said and Alpha. The tour gave a very good impression of Moshi, the very kind people living here and the beautiful surroundings.
We also highly appreciated the easy and good communication. A perfect energy level that also our two young adults liked a lot. We highly recommend the trip!

The perfect way to immerse yourself in local everyday life - We took the bike tour of the villages around Moshi to avoid waiting for lost luggage and we couldn’t be happier! Thanks to bicycles with excellent wheels we were able to turn around the dirt roads of the villages, changing views and immersing ourselves in everyday life away from tourism. We were guided with great passion and always with a smile which made our trip even more enjoyable. The tour in total lasts 5 hours and starts in the villages to end in the forest (where we also saw some monkeys) in front of the oldest tree in the place. Assolutamente consigliato!

Fun way to see area around Moshi - Went with a friend the day before a Kili trek--a fun way to see more of the area! The roads are pretty rough in some places--so be aware if you have bad knees. We had to go pretty slowly so we had to skip lunch due to time constraints, but this wasn't the fault of the tour operator. We loved seeing the monkeys in the Rau forest, goats in the village, sugar cane fields, and rice paddies. Alfa was really nice and carried our water bottles and rain jackets. Thanks!

Fun way to see more of the Moshi area - Had a fun time with Alfa on a bike tour of the villages near Moshi and the Rau Forest. Be aware if you have bad knees, since the roads are really bumpy. Knee problems slowed us down so we had to skip lunch and seeing the Moshi market due to time constraints. But this wasn't the fault of the tour operator. It would be great to have a mileage estimate on the tour description.
We loved seeing the rice fields, banana trees, sugar cane fields, and monkeys in the Rau Forest. Alfa was very kind and carried water for us! Thanks!

Best way to see Moshi countryside - This is absolutely the best way to see Moshi and the Rau Forest. I do not ride a bike frequently, so I was a bit hesitant to book this tour, however, my guide took such good care of me and made sure I felt comfortable. He always had a watchful eye on me and gave me tips. We rode at a very leisurely pace and stopped to hear about the different areas. About half way through we had a delightful lunch and it was a nice rest break.
The ride was very diverse and just beautiful. My favorite part was riding through all the agricultural areas. There were rice patties, sugarcane fields and corn fields. It was a wonderful day!

There’s no Kili in the zoo… - What a magic first day in Tanzania! Cycling around Moshi with Bike2kili safaris.
Said is a great guide and wonderfull person! Letting us see, smell and taste the couleur locale and showing us some wonderfull scenery, having the Kilimanjaro on display.
The big-5 can be seen in most of the zoo’s.
But there’s no Kiili in the zoo!

Interesting but could be shorter. - The tour takes place on mountain bikes. Both bikes had faults with the gears not changing to the big chain ring. The ride is mostly flat so it wasn't an issue, luckily. The tour quickly leaves town and enters the countryside through villages. After an hour or so it's all a bit same same. The roads become very bumpy. Some good scenery along rivers and through cane fields and rice plantations. We asked to return early and spent three hours riding through the lowlands, which was more than enough.
