We have cycled the Congo Nile Trail in 4 days with Lava Bike Tours and we had an amazing experience! Yannick has been super helpful in his communication and has made a real effort in adapting the route according to our wishes and level of fitness. The bikes are of OK quality but they were suffering from the harsh conditions during the trail, with a lot of mud and washboard surface. (Imagine downhilling on African cobble stone sections for miles!) Luckily we had our guide Marcel, who could repair the bikes on the spot. He has a wealth of knowledge about everything you pass by along the trail and he is a lot of fun too! It was also very helpful he knew exactly where to get lunch, water or bananas (our favorite!) Also Marcel knows the trail by heart and will show the way along alternative detours or trails with less mud, nicer views or shortcuts from the original trail. We would definitely recommend Lava Bike Tours!

We had a great experience biking throughout the villages in Ruhengeri, seeing parts of rural Rwanda and the countryside that we otherwise never would have experienced. Def something to do if you're looking for adventure and a cultural immersion. We loved it!

We had such a fun afternoon riding around the villages with our guide Francis. Francis gave us lots of interesting information about the area and took lots of photos. We had a group of very interested and friendly children come and say hello, which was a highlight. The land of a thousand hills is truly beautiful.

We did a very pleasant bike ride around Musanze, the landscape is beautiful and our guide, Francis was very kind. Bikes are proper mountain bikes in excellent condition. I would highly recommend if you like cycling and wish to discover the villages of the region with a beautiful view on the volcanoes!

Great bikes in very good condition for such a great bike tour across villages and plantation, with a great view on the volcanos! I highly recommend Yannick and the bike lava tour. He is always available to answer your questions! The guide, Norbert, was so joyful, careful and gave us many details on the landscapes and culture! Thanks!

Yannick set us up with bikes and gear for a self-guided ride on the Congo Nile Trail and helped make for an amazing trip! The bikes and gear were high quality and he made sure everything was fitted for us and ready to go. Throughout the whole trip he was consistently available and always ready to make sure we had a smooth trip, even after we had a slight change in our plans. I couldn't recommend biking in Rwanda with Lava Bike Tours enough!! Thanks, Yannick!

"Lava Bike Tours" provides really unique bike ride experiences across Rwanda and its beautiful landscape. The communication with Yannick was easy and professional. He is super friendly, reliable, always open to help and open for a chat. The pick-up service in the morning with the van was highly appreciated. Highlight: The landscape around the Twin Lakes. I highly recommend the bike tours with Yannick- it's simply amazing. We hope to come back again and have another ride. All the best

Such a great cycle on the lake kivu coast. Yannick was the perfect tour guide and even helped my girlfriend on the last hill. Perfect day! The view was so beautiful. We couldn’t recommend Yannick enough! Plus he is a former Rwanda national team cyclist!

I had little time to do a guided ride, but thanks to Yannik and Anita I was able to rent a reliable bike to get weeks again and enjoy the paths around lakes Burera&Ruhondo.
I had already pickep my itinerary, but Yannik offered good info about the area.
Murakoze Cyane!

I just did a two-day bike tour around Musanze and Twin Lakes with bikes from Lava Bikes. Yannick is super friendly and helpful, the route he recommended was very nice with great scenery and view of the volcanoes and the lakes and the bikes were in top condition. To anyone who would like to explore one of Rwanda's most beautiful corners by bike and support its growing cycling scene (which Yannick helped establish btw), I can totally recommend Lava Bikes.

We went for a bike tour of the Ruhondo lake. Yannick’s service was fantastic and the bikes were in excellent condition. The tour and the views were fabulous!

We did the 20km ride from Masanze to the Twin Lakes -- through the villages along the route. Yannick and Olivier were great and helpful guides... helping us plan and prepare... setting up the bikes professionally -- even organising a high quality bike-seat/helmet for our 4 year old! Then they guided us patiently... advising where the rough spots were coming up. They were informative and responsive, helped us get a boat trip and a stream-cooled beer.
Finally they arranged a car to drive us back "up" to Masanze as well. Thanks Yannick for all your good will and efforts, and for a great experience.

In total we did three activitys with Yannick (Congo-Nile-Trail, Twin-Lake-Tour, Mt. Bisoke). We totally recommend him, because he is reliable, trustworthy and a very kind person. Next time we will see each other again. Thank you, Yannick.

Friendly staff and good Mountainbikes. It's been a fun experience cycling from Musanze to the twinlakes.

amazing bike ride, beautiful places in nature and without cars. Perfect organization and new quality bikes.
