Worth Doing on Your First Day in Kigali - I joined the Kigali Walking Tour on my first day and it was a great decision. The guide was easy to talk to, knowledgeable, and gave real insight into how Kigali works day to day, not just the highlights. Walking through local areas and markets helped me understand the city much better than I would have on my own. Well organized, relaxed pace, and genuinely useful for getting oriented.

Was very nice to start my trip to Kigali with Gloria - I was in a trip to Kigali for almost one week, but I start my walking tour with Gloria and I really like it because I was so worried how I can discover the city without having a local guide but now I feel like I was so lucky that I booked this activity, and I recommended to everyone who want to discover Kigali with local guide

Learning about Rwanda and Kigali with my new friend Gloria :) - I was in Rwanda in August of 2025. This city tour was one of the top 2 things I did while I stayed in Kigali. I was thrilled to have taken the city tour with Gloria! She knows a lot about the history as well as the present day happenings of the area. I had so much fun learning with her. When I return I will be booking another tour with her! You won't go wrong by requesting her when you book!

A 10/10 Experience - If you’re just getting to Kigali, this is an excellent way to start your journey. I was the only one on the tour, so it felt more impactful as Gloria had time to really dig in to the history and culture- even sharing from her own personal stories. I’d highly recommend spending time doing this activity.

Kigali City Tour - It was a nice way to explore Kigali and get some insights in local art projects and history. Gloria was very kind. The tour is a bit expensive compared to the local pricing. All in all, we can recommend.
