Explore Kigali on foot with local guides, art, markets, Nyamirambo, history, and practical city tips in this affordable 2.5-hour tour.
“I actually found this tour a bit odd. Shark's enthusiasm for the city was infectious, but I found he lacked the story telling I've come to expect from viator tours. The Tour de Rwanda was happening at the same time which certainly affected our movements around the city and definitely his itinerary. It was a different experience. Not bad. Not great.”

Review of Kigali’s Nyungwe canopy walk and Ndambarare waterfall day tour, with costs, timing, hiking tips, guides, and honest value advice.
“After 5hr drive from Kigali to the canopy. The initial cost was expensive £329.55, then there was a fee added for the park entrance plus a fee added for a guide which you must have £113.47. Then when you get to the canopy it's only about 50 metres in length, which was disappointing.”

Review of a three-hour walk near Rwanda’s Volcanoes National Park, with village life, volcano views, small groups, and practical booking tips.
“We were searching for a short hike to get a nice view at the volcanoes, we even spotted a couple of golden monkeys and got a glipse of how the farmers are living. The price was fine with $40 per person, for 2 hours. Janet was a kind, flexible and well informed guide.”
Walk from Kigali’s Nyabugogo River to Mount Jali, hearing Gatsata stories, meeting local guides, and enjoying broad city views.
“I enjoyed my walk with Shaffi and he was a good guide. The trip started in the field near the river. This was once full of homes which were destroyed and inhabitants killed during the genocide, it’s now used to grow small crops of beans, maize and sweet potato. The hike up the hill was pleasant and Shaffi was personable and easy to get on with. We had some interesting conversations. The only reason I’ve not given 5/5 is that the story-telling part was a bit lacking. I’d like to have heard more about village life and customs in the community. I’d have loved more detail. However, I did really…”

“Spending two days exploring Nyungwe National Park was absolutely amazing. The itinerary was so well-planned that I never felt tired I was just excited to see what was next. I got to experience everything I hoped for: chimpanzees, Angolan colobus monkeys, and so many other primates. The tea plantations were stunning, the waterfalls were beautiful, and the canopy walk was a real highlight. Honestly, I didn’t want to leave. Being surrounded by the forest for two days was such a refreshing experience. My guide, Paul, was fantastic and made the trip even better. If you’re thinking about visiting Nyungwe, I highly recommend this tour package it was well worth it!Read…”
