Kigali Genocide Memorial
A visit to the Kigali Genocide Memorial is a powerful and emotional experience. Here, you’ll learn about the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi through exhibits, survivor stories, and memorial gardens. The site honors over 250,000 victims buried in mass graves and showcases Rwanda’s journey of resilience and reconciliation. It’s a deeply moving visit that provides a greater understanding of the country’s history and strength.
Belgian Peacekeepers Memorial
At this memorial we remember the ten Belgian UN peacekeepers who were killed at the start of the 1994 genocide. It is a quiet but important place that shows the role of international forces and adds context to Rwanda’s history.

This tour was 100% worth it. Having Jeremiah as a driver-guide made all the difference. he shared stories, history, and insights that gave real depth to everything we saw. The tour felt smooth and well-paced, and every stop had a purpose. Jeremiah clearly knows Kigali well. He’s smart, friendly, and easy to talk to. Communication before the tour was clear and helpful, which made things even easier. Kigali is such a beautiful, clean, and well-organized city, and having someone guide you through it instead of just hiring a driver really adds value. Lunch was also a highlight. It was tasty and in a great spot. I’d definitely recommend this tour to anyone who wants to experience Kigali with context and comfort.

I had a wonderful day exploring Kigali with Ange, a guide from Iriza Tours. She was warm, insightful, and incredibly attentive to both our interests and comfort throughout the day. Her deep knowledge of Rwandan history, culture, and daily life made every stop meaningful and engaging. We visited the Genocide Memorial. It was a deeply moving and emotional visit — sobering, powerful, and one that stays with you long after. We also visited the memorial for the Belgian paratroopers — a lesser-known but very important site that she made sure we didn’t miss. Lunch was at a lovely African restaurant with excellent local cuisine, and we had time to browse some beautiful art shops showcasing Rwandan creativity and talent. Ange even went the extra mile to recommend a great local spot for my friend to get his hair braided — a small detail that made a big difference in our day. Ange truly made Kigali come alive for us, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a meaningful and well-organized introduction to the city.

We had such a wonderful experience traveling here, from the high-speed trip itself to the time we spent with our guide, Germain. He is not just knowledgeable, he is genuinely kind and patient. Germain took the time to explain the history, including the tragedy of 1994, in such a thoughtful way that it really stayed with us. It is inspiring to see how much the country has grown since then. The people are so warm and welcoming, and the progress everywhere is clear. Traveling here is not just about the sights, it is about understanding the story, and Germain made that possible for us. We are so grateful for his guidance. He truly made this trip unforgettable. Highly recommend!

I had a very good time in Kigali. My guide Olivier was so helpful and friendly. He explained everything clearly and made the tour fun. I felt safe and comfortable the whole time. We visited many nice places in the city and I learned a lot about the culture and history. Olivier really knows the city well and answered all my questions. The company also gave good service and everything was well planned. I recommend this tour and ask for Olivier if you can. He made my Kigali visit special.

Our tour guide Mr Olivier N was awesome He called a day before the tour to introduce himself and gave us an arrival time,he arrived on time We had an amazing tour Mr Olivier was super amazing he understood the assignment and gave us the best time of our lives,as first time travelers,he ensured we were relaxed and comfortable.i was scared to try the zip line but he was an excellent cheerleader and I’m glad I tried it. It didn’t feel like we were on tour with a guide ,it felt like we were out with a family member. He helped us to document and capture every moment. Thank you for this experience, we will sure do this again and I hope our next visit we will have the privilege of having Mr Olivier as our guide.

Had an amazing time on the Kigeli City Tour. Big thanks to my driver guide Olivier. He was incredibly accommodating and went above and beyond to make sure everything was smooth. I didn’t want a long tour, and he still made it memorable while ensuring I got to the airport right on time. I highly recommend this tour and will definitely return with my family.

As a history lover, I really wanted to understand Rwandas past, so I booked this particular tour, I wasn’t interested in shopping or markets my main focus was visiting places like the Kigali Genocide Memorial, the Campaign Against Genocide Museum, and other sites that share the country’s powerful history and culture. The guide truly understood what I was looking for and tailored the experience perfectly. I appreciated how respectful and knowledgeable they were throughout the day. If you’re someone who values depth and learning, I highly recommend this tour.
