Kigali through a local’s eyes - I really enjoyed this walking tour in Kigali with TTA. Our local guide Omar was the best we could have wished for. He connected small neighbourhood details to the bigger picture of Kigali and Rwanda’s history and culture. This way we could really feel the city. He was clearly a part of the community, people greeted him along the way, which made the experience feel authentic and personal. I came away with a much deeper understanding of Kigali and would highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in meaningful local insight rather than just sightseeing.

5 stars - The walking tour with TTA was a fantastic choice — the guide was extremely knowledgeable and friendly, and we explored local neighborhoods, markets, and cultural spots I never would have found on my own. The tour was well organized and gave us a genuinely deeper understanding of the city. I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to truly experience Kigali.” Hello Katerina and Aleš from Prague

Rewarding hike in Kigali’s Gikondo neighbourhood - We got a really good tour through the neighborhood together with a knowledgeable and friendly guide. Through him we could easily visit the streets beyond the “ordinary”, see regular shops and experience the pulse of the city. We were a bunch of friends and had a long series of questions that the guide was happy to answer. Highly recommend this hike, as well as a visit to their nice shop!

Wonderful tour. Beautiful Weaving - I thoroughly enjoyed the Talking Through Art walking tour. The tour allowed me to walk the roads where the people of Rwanda live and get a glimpse of the neighborhood and how the community works. My tour guide was a lovely young man who was knowledgeable of the area and curious about other cultures and communities. The weaving that was done by the local women was outstanding. I only wish I had more room in my suitcase! I highly recommend this tour.
