Must Do - I spent the day touring Kigali with Ange. Pickup was nice as it is not easy getting around Kigali without a car. I was also able to customize the tour some. The weather did not allow for some items. However, we made the most of it. I am really pleased I took this particular tour because it went everywhere I wanted to go. The memorial is extremely sad and tragic. However, they have created a beautiful memorial for the world to see and the families to visit! I am humbled and grateful. The narrative is all too common in this world, and hopefully, we can learn and become better human beings. Niyo's has a funky vibe with beautiful artwork. Kigali is simply a beautiful city in the process of healing. Ange is very knowledgeable and passionate about her country! She is a great driver and tour guide. You won't be disappointed with this one! Thanks Ange!

An excellent day out - I had a great tour today with Ange. She was excellent at communicating via WhatsApp beforehand and took me to the places I wanted to see. The lunch stop was much better than I expected too, with lots of vegetarian options of local foods. Ange answered all the questions I had and was very personable. A highly recommended tour.

Falling in love with Kigali ... - Our day trip with Hurry was incredible! He made us feel very comfortable and gave us an enjoyable tour of the city. He treated us like family, and truly caused our love for the country to deepen, we got to learn so much! There are several stops on this tour that make for a full day, and lunch was incredible. Although you could probably make your way around the city with rideshare, doing it with a guide is much better and undoubtedly worthwhile!

Clean Streets, Warm People, and a Fantastic Guide - My wife and I had a fantastic time exploring Kigali on this city tour! The city itself is remarkably clean, and the warmth and friendliness of the people really stood out. Our guide, Eric, was absolutely incredible—he was knowledgeable, engaging, and made the experience so enjoyable from start to finish. We loved every moment of it, and it gave us a great insight into the heart of Kigali. We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the city!

8 hours in Kigali - I had such a great experience!! I had an early start due to landing at the airport at 7am! They got me at 7:30am to start my day. Hurry was great. He took me to the different museum which really allowed me to learn about Rwanda. In addition, he took me to the market and also cuz he noticed I like nature, he took me to see the wetlands. I definitely recommend it. They also took me to the airport at 3pm. I had a long layover so it started early and ended earlier than usual, but definitely made it work for me! Thank you so much Hurry for the great tour! I definitely want to come back to Rwanda!

Pretty good, not great - It was okay. Wonderful tour guide, great lunch spot, but difficult to justify $125 per person. With the lack of Uber/Lyft in Rwanda, it's probably the only way to see most of Kigali in a day, so I still recommend if you want to see as much of the city as possible in a day. Just be prepared to be a little underwhelmed for the price.
