“Exceptional Kigali City Tour with Aline. I had the absolute pleasure of taking a guided tour of Kigali with Aline, and it was an unforgettable experience! Since I was traveling alone, she made me feel completely at ease—spending the day with her felt more like exploring the city with a friend rather than just a guide. The tour was perfectly curated, offering a deep dive into Kigali’s history, culture, and vibrant city life. Beyond the sites themselves, what truly made this tour special was Aline’s warmth, knowledge, and attention to detail. A great example of this was when she sent me an audio message in Kinyarwanda to help me direct…”
Kigali village day with a local family: cook Rwandan food, brew banana beer, prepare coffee, and walk the community. Lunch included.

“I booked this food tour for my son and I on our short stay in Rwanda. Our tour guide, Gloria was very friendly, helpful, engaging, and she has a very kind and attentive spirit. She made sure to contact me the day before as well as the day of the tour. This was one of the best food tours we’ve been on. All 3 spots were fantastic! The food was very good- we were stuffed by the end. Also, Gloria taught us so much information about Rwandan culture, language, and food. We will definitely hire her again for other tours because she is that great! We truly recommend going on…”
