    I had such an amazing experience with Iriza Tours on the walking tour of Kigali! Ange was the best guide super friendly and knew so much about the city. We explored local markets, discovered cool hidden spots, and even stopped to take pictures at a beautiful car-free zone. It was such a fun and relaxing way to learn about Kigali’s culture and history. Big thanks to Ange and Iriza Tours for making it unforgettable. Highly recommend

    I attended a morning tour. This was a very wonderful experience. As a bonus, the meeting location was quite convenient! The knowledge about Rwanda presented during this walking tour was quite useful throughout my vacation! The tour guide was on time, professional, and knowledgable about Kigali's many attractions. The devastating historical truths exposed to me throughout my stroll left a profound mark on me. The overall tour gave me a well-rounded and unbiased view of Kigali! I would recommend comfortable shoes and a bag to hold any items you collect along the way (my bag was a lifesaver!)

    Ange was a great guide as we walked and explored an area of Kigali I hadn’t yet visited. She modified the tour to my interests, and helped me find a moto afterwards to get home. This is a great way to see more of the beautiful city of Kigali!!

    Kigali completely won me over during the walking tour! The city is so clean, vibrant, and full of greenery. The local food and coffee were just perfect, and the whole experience made me feel like Kigali could be my home. I’ll definitely be back soon ..maybe even to buy land! With the help of Iriza Tours, I also visited Gisenyi, did a safari game drive, and the walking tour all perfectly planned. Huge thanks to Iriza and a special shout-out to my amazing guides!

    Wow! The Kigali walking city tour was an absolute game-changer! I had four days in Kigali, and this was hands down the easiest, most immersive way to soak in the city’s vibrant energy. I never thought I’d say this, but walking around Kigali was FUN! I’m typically not one for walking tours, but this one was different—I felt like I was truly connecting with the heart of the city. The clean, spotless streets, the breathtaking views, and the new friends I made along the way only added to the excitement. Our guide, Esther, was an absolute gem! Her passion for Kigali and her infectious energy made the tour unforgettable. If you’re ever in Kigali, this is a MUST. Highly, highly recommended!
