“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…”

“We met Jeremiah for our walking tour of Kigali. He was excellent - friendly, and knowledgeable about the city and its history. We learned a lot and he answered all our random questions about life in Rwanda while showing us the notable sights. Would recommend this tour!”
“Great tour! It was lovely to learn so much about Kigali with Jamal. The activities were interesting and supporting local businesses. I highly recommend!”
4:30 AM pickup for a guided 1-day gorilla trek in Volcanoes National Park, with permits, lunch, private transport, and one hour with gorillas.
“From the airport pickup, to the Twin Lakes cultural experience to the gorilla trek, this was truly an unforgettable trip. I was lucky enough to have Jean-Paul as my guide and cannot recommend him enough. His knowledge and energy truly added to my trip and I can't wait to go back and visit other regions in Rwanda with him!”
“Terrible, unprofessional. This isn't a tour so much as it is a scam run by a guy looking to make some easy money from tourists. The description clearly states that pickup is included, but he tells you the night before (when it is too late to cancel) that transportation is not included. You have to pay an additional $40 for a motorbike or $60 for a car. I asked for the car, and expressly did not want a motorbike. On the day of the tour, the taxi mysteriously doesn't show up so I have to go with my luggage on the back of the guide's very unsafe motorbike that is…”
“Very nice city tour by motorbike to see a big part of the city. My guide was Sandra and she arranged a smooth pick up from my hotel and did everything to make me feel welcome. Sandra is relaxt and patient en took me everywhere. And even after the tour she contacted me and sent a driver to bring me back. I had a lovely day and would recommend this tour. Thanx again Sandra!”
