Great time meeting Kigali for the first tiem

Meraj_C, Apr 2026
Very thankful to Jerry - he took me to all the main points of interest, to the market, showed me the local food, and was kind enough to give me recommendations for the next day!

Paul, was willing to take...

Vic_D, Oct 2025
Paul, was willing to take us anywhere in Kigali, very nice guide, seems to know everyone. Highly recommend.

Drive not Tour

Kevin_M, Jun 2025
While our driver was friendly and motivated he was clearly no guide. The same tour could have been done for a fraction of the price using a taxi. Most museums don’t charge for entry. Disappointed in terms of value for money as our driver was not able to give much context into Kigali history.

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Thank you for your feedback. We’re happy to hear you found our driver friendly and motivated — that’s something we truly value. We’re sorry to hear the tour didn’t meet your expectations in terms of historical context. Our drivers are in fact experienced and trained , and we aim to offer a comprehensive and engaging experience of Kigali’s landmarks and history. That said, we understand that everyone’s expectations are different. We’ll follow up with the guide involved to ensure they’re providing the level of detail and storytelling our guests expect and deserve. We appreciate your comments, as they help us improve. Thank you for choosing us, and we hope to welcome you again for a more enriching experience.

Waste of time

David_P, Jun 2025
The tour didn’t happen. I tried contacting them by Viator and got no reply. I was at the agreed pick up location ten minutes before the agreed time, and waited for over an hour with no sign off them or response.

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Hi Paul ..Thank you for your feedback. We’re genuinely sorry for the inconvenience you experienced and completely understand your frustration. After reviewing the situation, we found that your initial booking and contact was made directly via email, and unfortunately, the date was entered incorrectly when it was later added to the Viator system and our scheduling. This discrepancy contributed to the scheduling mix-up on our end. As this is the first time such a situation has ever happened Additionally, as part of our standard procedure, we had asked all guests to confirm their pickup location by messaging a designated WhatsApp number the night before the tour or two and we reconfirm the night before . Since we didn’t receive confirmation, and due to the date error, the guide was scheduled for a different day. This is the first time something like this has happened, and we take full responsibility. As soon as we realized the issue, we offered to reschedule the tour for the following day, but completely understand you weren’t able to join due to your departure. We are already taking steps to improve our booking and communication systems to avoid any such issues in the future. If your travels bring you back, we’d love the opportunity to offer you a complimentary or discounted tour to make things right. Thank you again for your feedback, Management

Falling in love with Kigali ...

AprilE_F, Jan 2025
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!

8 hours in Kigali

Tina_L, Sep 2024
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!

Response from Host, Sep 2024

Please don’t hesitate to reach out when you’re ready for your next adventure. Safe travels, and we hope to see you again soon!

The sights and sounds of Kigali

Dennis_M, Dec 2023
It was a memorable experience ....had an authentic day trip around Kigali with a guide who had extensive local knowledge. Other than the Kigali Genocide Memorial, the two car free areas, the Nyandugu Eco-Tourism Park and an art Museum that also holds the remains of the plane that crashed killing Rwanda's former president thereby triggering the genocide were sights to behold.

Response from Host, Dec 2023
