It was a lovely tour even though Mombasa experienced heavy rains the day before. They were very professional and caring. People in the villages were friendly as well ! It's a must in Mombasa, I highly recommend and I will definitely do it again when I am around ! Asanteni sana.

Would highly recommend! Be prepared to sweat, but it’s worth it! It’s a wonderful way to get to see local life in Kenya.

I already made my review about julius on 2/23/24 im just uploading photos. Viator gotta fix that. There was no prompt for photos

I had this excursion on 2/23/24 on a Sunday. I had julius as a tour guide and he was fantastic. He brought me to all of the side villages and he biked at a moderate pace. The scenery was amazing (posting photos with review). He also explained the site's and what was where and why it was built etc. He was very informative. I was covered in sweat and dust but it was so worth it. The bike selection was good and my bike was rma newer bike with front and back suspension (which you will need). The hill inclines were super crazy and julius was just biking up that like it was nothing. Yo he built different. Some I had to hop off and walk. The good thing was that he also hopped off and walked and talked and kept me company as we(I) went up the steep hills. The area is also very safe and everyone in the village is very friendly. I said hi to all the children going to church and adults passing by. I 100% would recommend this as an excursion to my peoples and would 100% do this again.
Again YOU WILL BURN CALORIES

It was a great experience. We got to cycle through local villages in the Mombasa area. Someone sees the local people and cycles through the alleys of the villages. Also some very nice scenery at the Mtwapa Creek and at Haller Park. We (I and my tour guide Julius) did 12 km and at the end I was relatively exhausted however we did the intermediate route (not the easiest one). I would say this activity requires a good physical condition. My guide Julius provided me with drinking water (very important under the hot Mombasa sun) and we did the whole route according to my pace if I was tired we made stops. All in all a very nice experience I really enjoyed and would highly recommend if someone looks for a physical activity and would like to see also the local nature and the villages of Mombasa area.

Dear Nikolao, thanks for your detailed review and we are happy that you liked our tour.

My husband and I truly enjoyed this bike tour. Not only is it packed with adrenaline, it's also serene, as we also were able to see so much of the natural terrain and the everyday life of the citizens of Mombasa, away from the touristy beach area. Julius and Sarah were excellent guides--friendly, welcoming and patient as we took a GAZILLION photos of the lovely countryside. Thank you for your warm hospitality.
My only regret is not knowing the exact extent that we would bike through the smaller towns outside Mombasa. This is truly due to me, not the company. Had I have known, I would've purchased candies or brought along clothing items or school supplies, as you will encounter so many friendly children along the way, all of them yelling jambo Hello. Perhaps the touring company can promote some sort of donation drive, as you get so up close and personal with everyday people on this tour, you will feel the urge to give back in the spirit of reciprocity.
Once again, such a lovely tour that truly provided depth to my Mombasa experience. Thank you!

Un moment incroyable et de découverte. J'ai eu de la chance, étant donné que j'étais seul, j'ai pu faire une visite guider privé. A faire
