5.00Kigali is a lovely city,and Ange is a wonderful drive guide her itinerary is well planned. I wish I had more time to visit more of Rwanda but unfortunately I had just one day to spare. I enjoyed the local food and the coffee tastes really !I made sure to buy enough coffe to take back home! I will definitely come back and Ange will be my guide, I recommend her services to anyone who wish to see Kigali in a short period of time.

5.00We had a great experience on this tour. Our guide and driver, Ange, was fantastic. Friendly, knowledgeable and eager to share insights about Kigali’s history and culture. While the itinerary listed several stops, we were unable to visit Mt Kigali, Biryogo Car Free Food Street, Kandt House Museum or Kigali Pottery Collections. However, we did visit the Kigali Genocide Memorial, which was the most impactful part of the tour. It provides a deeply moving and educational experience that is essential for understanding Rwanda’s history. We also visited the Campaign Against Genocide Museum, which includes a guide to walk you through its exhibits. The museum offers valuable historical context and its rooftop provides stunning panoramic views of the city. A couple of practical tips: bring cash for the entrance fee at the Campaign Against Genocide Museum, as the card payment system wasn’t working when we visited. Also, be prepared for security checks at both this museum and the Kigali Genocide Memorial. Overall, it was a well-organized tour and a great way to see key sites in Kigali. I’d definitely recommend it, but I’d also suggest updating the itinerary to better reflect what’s feasible within the time frame, as it’s not possible to visit every listed stop. Would still book again for the experience and the excellent guide!
Excellent tour!
