Amazing way to explore Kigali and get a local perspective - Aline's city tour is a fantastic way to explore some great locations around Kigali infused with a local perspective. Each tour stop revealed something new about Kigali and Aline was more than happy to answer questions and talk about life in Rwanda. I would definitely recommend this for solo female travelers such as myself. I felt very safe traveling around with Aline, and was thankful for her organization of motos for us to get around -- a highlight of the tour for sure and something I was nervous to do on my own. Aline will also help organize your taxis to and from the tour start and end points. Her willingness to help was above and beyond!

Amazing Guide - Aline was such an incredible guide and I highly recommend that everyone tour with her. I went on this tour the day after I arrived in Kigali and it was so helpful for acclimating to the city and learning it's history. I really appreciated that we rode around in Motos because if she hadn't been there to teach me about the costs and how to navigate them, I would have been totally lost for the remainder of my stay. Aline is really personable and shared so much of her own family experience with me when we went to the memorial, and I loved visiting the art centre. It was such a beautiful location with lovely art work and souvenirs and there is an attached cafe were I got the best mango smoothie I've ever had. We walked and grabbed a bite in Biryogo and took pics at the city center and I bough so many gifts at Kimironko and got things at such a good price thanks to Aline bargaining for me. If you're looking for a holistic tour of the city, then I 100/10 recommend touring with Aline!

This tour is a must! - On my second day in Kigali, I joined Aline for an amazing city tour. From tasting delicious local food to visiting important landmarks, this experience gave me a real feel for the city. A deeply moving moment was visiting the Rwanda Genocide Memorial—a place of reflection and remembrance that added so much depth to my understanding of Rwanda’s history.
What made this tour extra special was exploring the city by moto! Feeling the wind, weaving through Kigali’s streets, and seeing the city from this perspective gave me such a sense of freedom. Aline’s deep knowledge of Kigali, its history, and its culture made every stop even more meaningful.
If you want to truly experience Kigali in an authentic and insightful way, this tour is a must!
