Clean Streets, Local Flavors, and Unforgettable Insights

5.00Kigali is remarkably clean, and experiencing the city on foot truly brings that quality to life. Walking through its streets with a knowledgeable guide turned out to be the highlight of the visit and was absolutely worth the price. The guide’s deep understanding of Kigali’s history, culture, and daily life added meaning to every street and neighborhood we explored, transforming a simple walk into a rich and engaging experience. One of the most memorable moments was visiting the old neighborhood of Kigali, where the streets are car-free and full of local character. There, we had the chance to try local food, immersing ourselves in the authentic flavors of the city. Sampling these dishes in such a lively, pedestrian-friendly area made the experience feel genuine and connected to the community. Overall, the combination of Kigali’s cleanliness, the insight provided by a skilled guide, and the opportunity to enjoy local cuisine in a historic, car-free area made the walk unforgettable and deeply rewarding.
Nice Walking Tour

5.00We were lucky to find Jerry available for this tour when we visited Kigali recently. We wanted to understand Kigali and Rwanda more and Jerry was very helpful in this regard. The walking tour is informative and makes exploring the city much more enjoyable than doing this alone. Jerry has a good understanding of his community and shared it with enthusiasm. I would have no hesitation recommending this tour and Jerry.
Great tour!

5.00I had a great tour of Kigali with Darlene. I had only booked the evening before so was delighted that I was able join. I had a solo tour with Darlene, who was so friendly and knowledgeable and took time to explain everything we were visiting, and to answer all of my questions. I took the tour on a Sunday and knew from earlier reviews that the city would be quieter. Whilst I know that Kigali is wonderful when busy and bustling, I also enjoyed exploring the quieter side of the city.
Jerry was great at...

5.00Jerry was great at showing me the city and explaining the history of the country. Although Kigali is quite safe and small and you could do it by yourself, is nice to have someone talking about the points
