Great and affordable cycling tour - Great cycling tour around Moshi town, includes stops in markets, train station, churches, and other landmarks of the city, vehicles are actually very respectful of cyclists plus the guide was very knowledgeable about the town and cycling in general. Perfect activity to decompress after climbing Kili. The company is locally owned and promote social causes like giving bicycles to women in rural areas and plogging.

This will be a highlight of your trip to Moshi - My tour guide was the kindest person and provided such a wonderful tour. We bought our snacks and water from local shops, biked in the most amazing scenery, and ate lunch at a local restaurant. We went at the pace I set and my guide was happy to take any pictures I wanted. This was such a great way to see the everyday life of people and I will cherish this experience forever. I summitted Killi and went on a safari and this was still one of my favorite parts of the trip! Biking through the streets around Killi is gorgeous and so fun! If you love bikes you MUST do this trip and if you like bikes you still should do it. I love One Bike Moshi because it is so much greater than a bike shop with their dedication to clearning the environment and providing bikes to local women. I recommend this experience to everyone who is looking to do it.

Greate guide, great ride - What a day! Due to the heavy rainfall of the past few days a large part of the tour was extremely muddy. Therefore is took us a long time to complete the trip. Our guide, Roger, nevertheless stayed very patient and helpfull. Aside from that Roger was a enthusiastic, funny, very friendly guy who told us a lot of interesting stories. During the tour you drive through some fantastics villages where you really experience the real rural Moshi/Tanzania. Highly recommended if you’re up for a real tour. Not a walk in the park! Room for improvement: the place for lunch is almost the end of a 45km ride. Would make sense to have it somewhere halfway.

Lovely tour of Moshi town and surrounding areas - I only had time for a Moshi city tour, but I would definitely recommend these guys for day trips or the more adventurous trips of several days. The bikes are good quality and well maintained. The guides are professional and flexible and I had a lovely half day out, seeing both the town and quieter surrounding villages. Thank you!

Amazing, sustainable tour operator, highly recommended - Just had the most amazing trip with OneBike Tanzania, with my guide Roger! Moshi is a small town, -- gateway to Kilimanjaro -- but the area itself has so much to offer to tourists. Unfortunately, there are not many tour operators offering activities in Moshi. OneBike Tanzania is a place where visitors can enjoy a tour around Moshi before and after their trekking at Kilimanjaro, or other safari destinations. Your guide will take you to various hidden spots, including market places where you can buy fruits at a really great price. Not only they are offering bike tours, they are actually carrying out various activities for sustainable tourism, including collecting trashes. All staffs are kind, professional, and highly motivated. The company also operates a nice bar at heart of Moshi where you can grab a bottle of drink afterward.

Super experience - We had a super nice bike tour through Moshi with our guide Roger. He really took the time for our questions. He speaks English very well and is very friendly. We were alone with our family (2 adults and 3 children 18,17 and 10). It is a super nice way to experience Moshi and the nice people of Tanzania.

Best way to explore Moshi city and surroundings! - We had such a great experience with One Bike cycling around Moshi city and surrounding villages such as Soweto and Shanty Town with our ride guide Roger. We passed through local markets, busy streets, railway station and bus central. Then we enjoyed a nice cup of coffee at their cosy terrace. Highly recommended to explore the area in a sustainable way! Thanks guys!!

Amazing Cycling Tour Around Moshi - Today i completed a 30km cycling tour around Moshi and the outskirts. I consider cycling to be one the best activities to see so much of real everyday life in any country so i try and do it whenever I travel. Shoutout to Roger from One Bike Moshi for the amazing tour. We started in the busy and bustling town of Moshi filled with endless street stalls selling clothes and food. You'll also hear the blaring sound of dala dalas and tuk tuks honking their horns. We cycled towards a massive sugar cane field. Sugar cane is a big and important part of Tanzania's economy and you'll see sugar cane farms everywhere. We continued to a massive rice farm with rice as far as the eye can see. It was an ocean of green. Afterwards we cycled into Rau forest which is a big, lush forest that is also home to a massive 52m tree that is 180 years old as well as these beautiful black and white Colobus monkeys. It almost looks like they're wearing a cape. There was also a milky spring contained in the forest. It was beautiful to cycle through this forest. On our way back we stopped at one of the local shops in Moshi and one of the dada's (sisters) prepared a local Tanzanian dish called Chips Mayai. Its chips mixed with fried eggs. Simple but tasty and filling. Amazing tour and great way to see Moshi! #Tanzania #Moshi #OneBike #OneBikeMoshi #Cycling #MountainBiking #Africa #Forest #RauForest #RauForestTanzania #ColobusMonkey #Explore #Travel #LiveMore #ExploreMore

A quick snippet of Moshi - We only have a day in Moshi and wanted a glimpse of the town and life of its residents. It was on a Sunday when the town rests, but Hillary, the owner answered our call and got Roger to lead our motley group of different level riders. We rode into villages, crossed streams and even railway tracks,
