Great guided tour of Kigali

5.00Jerry was a great guide who knows the city like his back pocket. It was fun, he was attentive and accommodating.
Great central Kigali walking tour

- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00Jerry was very knowledgeable. His infectious enthusiasm was great. We feel like we got “the gist” of central Kigali, and the tour served as a great orientation walk. More than that, though, we came away with lots of historical and cultural context of life in Rwanda.
Recommended to get a good overview of Kigali

5.00What was written as a three hour tour was worth 10 in knowledge and education. Walking around Kigali among the locals, learning local customs and history was very rewarding. My tour guide Jerry was excellent and explained everything in great detail. I would recommend this tour. At first I was hesitant to go but it turned out to be one of my favorite tours while in Rwanda.

Interesting walking tour in Kigali City
JohnDS123,Dec 27, 2025
- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00We recently joined the city walking tour. We started at 09.30 and our guide Jerry was there waiting for us at the arranged spot. We set off on a 3 hour exploration that covered the Camp Kigali Belgian Memorial, a women's co-operative, an interesting neighbourhood where a lot of Muslims live, some street art and a spot with a lot of restaurants for lunch at the end. Jerry was an informative and engaging guide. I liked the tour.
Quick but concise city tour

5.00This city tour was fantastic! Jerry was extremely knowledgeable and a pleasure to chat with. If you’re interested in a more comprehensive experience, including the genocide museum, I’d suggest their driving tour. There’s so much to see, but you can only explore so much on foot in a few hours! It’s definitely worth it if you’re short on time and want a quick overview of Kigali.
Informative
