Fantastic cycling experience with brilliant guides - Absolutely amazing experience cycling across Lake Victoria. Our guides Zagga and Mandela were extremely knowledgeable and caring. They were able to answer all my questions and create a fun ride despite me being a new cyclist. The lovely boat trip across to our start point was another highlight- I would thoroughly recommend this experience to anyone visiting or living in Kampala.

3 Hours Guided Cycling Tour Across Lake Victoria - Great experience, not to be missed when in Kampala. The island, actually a pninsula that is surrounded by lake Victoria, is such a great place to see and be part of the Ugandan rural scenery and life. The ride is designed to take you through main dirt roads, narrow paths and even single track paths deep into the vegetation. Professional guide, great communication, deep knowledge of the route, secure and safe cycling. AFIVE STAR experience overall, thank you Zaga, thank you Cycle Tours Uganda

Highly recommended! - An amazing experience, crossing the Lake Victoria on a boat and a 3-hr bike ride through a rural area bordering the lake. Ronald was a great guide, he is very accommodating and fun!

Highly recommended! - I came to Kampala for a work trip and had only one day free to explore around. I am glad I went for this bike tour! The boat ride is beautiful, so is the the trekking path. Great way to get moving and get immersed into rural life… just outside Kampala!

Easy to get to and lots of fun! - Fantastic tour! Gives you an insight into people's life outside of Kampala. Easy to get to and a great activity to get moving. The bikes were good, especially for bumpy roads. Riding up and down a few hills and racing boda-bodas was a lot of fun. We also enjoyed the views from the boat and a nice breeze on the lake. Overall, great experience! Highly recommended.

Awesome bike ride experience - This was a great experience for me and my friends. We had James as our guide and he did a great job of showing us stuff and taking the time to ride at our pace. Was a great time and now am wanting to do the 7 hour ride.

Not easy but rewarding - Amazing tour and reliable guys. The chain broke during the journey, but they intervened promptly. The places are wonderful, sometimes the journey can be tiring even for an athlete but is totally worth the effort.
