The E-bike Tour is the BEST way to explore Kigali - I took the e-bike tour with Shark and it was such a beautiful experience. The e-bike did most of the work and it was a super fun time. We stopped for some sugarcane juice and rolex snacks. I highly recommend it as a way to see Kigali.

A wonderful experience! - Our guide Gloria was incredible! She told me so much about Kigali and Rwanda. The views were amazing. I enjoyed a visit to the art gallery and a refreshing lemonade from the old town. A shopping street is closed for traffic and good for walking and finding local items as well as sportswear. I highly recommend the tour and look forward to repeating when next in town.

Wonderful walking tour - Gloria is a wonderful guide and host - this was a great initial tour of the city, which went all over. She makes you feel very welcome. Highlights were the art gallery, stopping for refreshing drink by the pedestrianised painted streets and the moto taxis! Thanks so much Gloria

A great way to understand Rwanda’s customs and people. - This tour was fantastic! I had just arrived in Kigali that morning. I had never been to Rwanda before and needed to get my bearings and learn more about local customs. Gloria, my local guide, was fantastic. She answered all my questions and made sure I was aware of Kigali do’s and dont’s. I really liked how she gave me the ‘guide talk’ while we were walking, but when we were at symbolic places she let me walk and read on my own. She was happy to answer questions, but otherwise let me go at my pace and soak it all up.

Kigali Walking Tour - Our guide Gloria was terrific and if you wanted a walking tour where you could have great conversations with this intelligent young woman this is the tour for you. Howver there really are no significant landmarks on the walk. Also going all the way to Kigali Heights to come all the way back to the old city is a waste of time. I also think the entrance fee to the women's art gallery was very overpriced.
