Can only recommend! - My girlfriend and I did the bike tour at the end of our stay and it was really nice! Everyone was so accommodating and we even got some lessons on birds & the nature! We took breaks for snacks and meet some people. At the end I even went for a quick swim! We can only recommend this experience! Shout out to Lawrence & Francis!

Yes! Do it! - 10 out of 10 would recommend! The guides are incredible! Definitely not for the inexperienced, however even if you are they encourage and have detours along the way! It’s an eye opening experience and the views are incredible and breath taking!

Amazing day trip from Kampala - Had a great time, the bike was nicely tuned and James is a really good guide. Glad I did the extension as the climb out of the falls and the bit through the tea fields was the nicest bit.

An absolute must in Kampala - Our guide Shedrack was extremely helpful, welcoming and interactive. He was knowledgeable and able to tailor the tour to our needs. He was extremely patient when we struggled with sections of the cycle but was also great at encouraging us, without ever feeling rushed. The tour was amazing and it was great to see the rural side of Kampala and what he called “the real Uganda”. We got to see some of the local bird life and try the local food. When we mentioned about trying Jackfruit and seeing some monkeys, Shedrack made sure this happen without any difficulty. He imparted knowledge on the local area as well as the country as a whole. He also shared some information about Rwanda which was the next country on our visit. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone in the Kampala area, it was worth the money we spent!

Best cycle experience ever - I loved everything from responsive engagement during the booking process, prompt and courteous pickup at the hotel, to quick and efficient gear collection and boat ride across the lake to an exhilarating ride through the countryside and villages, to the monkeys in trees on the edges of the cycle paths to the most breathtaking strains of worship in song at a local Church. Our guide, Shedrack, was the absolute best: courteous, kind, knowledgeable and patient. He fixed a bike gears that got tangled up with bush, and also dressed a small wound - both competently drawing in a ready toolkit and first aid kit. I would take this tour again if I had the time or am back in the country.

Great experience away from crowded Kampala - It was a great way to get away from busy Kampala and enjoy quite, rural life. The trip by boat on lake Victoria was a great addition. Biking through small villages and enjoying the nature was my favorite part.
