Really cool tour

We had a tour with Seth and it was really cool to see Kigali with him. We showed us a lot of cool places and explained us about the city. He was super friendly and we had a great time. Recommend totally.

Michael is the best!

We had such a great time with Michael in Kigali! He was super friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience so enjoyable. We learned a lot about Rwanda and got to see the city through his eyes. He made us feel welcome from the start and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. We couldn’t recommend him enough if you’re visiting Kigali!

City Tour Kigali

I took a tour with Michel and found everything about it enjoyable. Michel was very knowledgable about his city and shared many interesting things that I would never had known had I not taken the tour. It was a great morning for me on my first time in Kigali and I wouldn’t hesitate to book another tour.

Fun way to explore Kigali and get to know it

I really enjoyed the tour with Sandra of downtown Kigali. She incorporated history and culture into the tour, and shared her experiences of life in Kagali. We also discussed much about the genocide and its impact in Rwandan life. I also enjoyed being able to ride mortorbikes from one part of the tour to the next, since Kigali is quite hilly! Sandra also gave us good food and drink recommendations after the tour.

A very good experience

It was brilliant! She explained everything really well, she was in a good mood and, even though I speak French, I was able to understand everything that was said.
