Tour to get to know Kigali - Ange gave us such a great tour. I was very satisfied with the tour I took on the first day I arrived in Rwanda. We visited the Genocide Memorial Museum and several art galleries, and taught them various things. Thank you very much.

Kigali is a very beautiful city - Kigali 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.

A day to remember in kigali - We had an amazing city tour in Kigali with Ange. She took us to so many interesting places, including the local market, which was a great experience. We were also told that the Kigali Genocide Memorial is a mustvisit. It’s a sad part of history, but it’s important to understand the journey of this beautiful and fastdeveloping country. It was our first time in East Africa, and we completely fell in love with Rwanda soo green and welcoming. The people are incredibly friendly, and the whole day was just wonderful. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Kigali.

Kigali Tour - Ange offered a comprehensive and customized tour of Kigali. We were able to visit the Genocide Museum, had lunch in a local restaraunt and looked at the city skyline to name a few all done comfortably via car. She is also very pleasant to talk to and very knowledgeable about the history and context.

A great day! - I had a great day with Ange! I was able to check off so many places that I wanted to see while in Kigali all in one day! I was able to learn more about Kigali’s history including the genocide, visit a pottery center, a women’s co-op, art galleries, and learn about multiple different neighborhoods, pedestrian only areas, and Kimoronko Market! There’s no way I could’ve done all these things in one day, and the experiences could’ve been a lot more stressful if I had tried to do it on my own. Ange was very knowledgeable, pleasant to be around, a safe driver and genuinely a nice person. She catered this experience to my needs and interests. I recommend this experience to anybody who wants to hit all of the must see places while in Kigali.

She provided the history of the city and the attractions we visited. We had a delicious lunch and enjoyed great conversation. I highly recommend Ange. As a solo traveler, I felt safe and was able to enjoy the city without worry.

Great experience - We 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!

Kigali day trip in comfort! - Ange was great. She even returned my phone to the hotel, which I had left in her car! She knows Kigali well and this came across in our tour. She’s very professional and reliable and despite heavy traffic, she went out of her way to make sure I got to see what I wanted. The only reason I’ve not given 5/5 is that I value details and stories that show the tour guide’s passion for their city so that I can get below the surface. And this was a bit lacking. Otherwise, I can’t fault the tour at all. I would recommend Ange.
