Kigali City Tour

We thoroughly enjoyed our city tour with Eric. He was an excellent guide—knowledgeable, kind, friendly, and passionate about sharing the stories and culture of Kigali. Eric's local insights and engaging personality made the experience even more special. The tour was an immersive journey through Kigali's local culture and hidden gems, offering a side of the city that many visitors rarely get to see. Far from the typical city tour, it was a unique and authentic experience that truly brought Kigali to life. Every moment was enjoyable, insightful, and memorable. Highly recommended for anyone looking to experience the authentic heart and soul of the city.

Eric was a wonderful guide! We took a day tour of Kigali and were able to truly experience the city. With Eric as our guide and driver, we felt completely safe exploring places we would not have visited on our own. We visited a local market, stopped at a traditional milk bar, and learned so much about Kigali’s history and culture. One of the highlights was driving up into the mountains for a breathtaking overlook of the city. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to understand the culture, history, and overall feel of Kigali — all in just one day!

Eric gave my mom and me an amazing day tour of Kigali City. We had such a great overall experience exploring the city with him. Not only did we feel completely safe throughout the tour, but Eric also introduced us to the beauty, culture, and history of Kigali in such a meaningful way. We got to see incredible art throughout the city, experience the local markets, learn about Rwanda’s history, enjoy the mountain views, and so much more. I especially enjoyed learning about the city while fully experiencing the local culture. It was truly an unforgettable experience, and I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Kigali!

I had the absolute best time touring Kigali with Eric. I was in Kigali for work with only a day to sightsee, and this experience did it all. Stops on the tour included -- a milk bar, a local market, a delicious lunch, Mt. Kigali, and the genocide memorial. In between all the stops, I got to learn about life in Kigali from a local (Eric is the best!). Everything was absolutely seamless, despite Kigali hosting the final day of the Tour du Rwanda. Eric navigated everything perfectly and made me feel right at home everywhere we went. I look forward to taking additional tours with Go Further on future visits to Kigali.

Great day out with Desiree. I happened to be the only person on the trip. This meant that she could be flexible with my itinerary. We visited lots of places in the city including visiting a milk bar and a coffee shop and various museums and art galleries. She was very knowledgeable and I learned a lot. Would definitely recommend this day trip.

We (mom and 2 kids ages 12 and 14) had the BEST tour of Kigali with Eric of Go Further tours! We started the tour with a brief overview of the city and a learned a few phrases in Kinyarwandan. We then set off in a clean and comfortable car stocked with water for our day around the city. NOTE: bring your appetite!! We stopped off at a typical “milk bar” where fresh milk is sold, along with snacks of chapati. We also had a lunch of traditional foods, which was SO MUCH FOOD, lol! Everything was delicious and fresh. There’s also a stop at a beautiful coffee shop later in the afternoon. Eric was incredibly kind and patient with my kids, as well as open to thoroughly answering every question I posed along the way. We visited the market, a beautiful lookout point from Mount Kigali, several stops showcasing murals in the city, and the last stop is the genocide memorial. I highly recommend this tour as a great way to both see some major sights in the city as well as experience some more traditional parts of the culture. We really loved our day with Eric in Kigali!!

This is a long overdue but necessary review. Friends and I met in Rwanda for the launch of Virunga Mountain Spirits (VMS). Before making our way north to Musanze (home of VMS), we spent several days in Kigali enjoying various aspects of the arts, culinary, business, etc. scenes. The multi-day tour was led by the amazing team of Eric and Desiree, who are the best of the best. Not only did they provide in-depth historical and cultural perspectives, but shared their own experiences of life in Rwanda as the country continues to reshape itself. When you meet them, and I hope you do, you will find that they are exactly as their profiles indicate: intelligent, caring, fun, and dedicated to ensuring that all guests enjoy their time in Rwanda.

Amazing experience with a very professional tour guide Desiree with lots of patience and knowledge. I hope I have future opportunities to work again with them.

Desiree was a great tour guide, truly well-versed in the culture and traditions of Rwanda. We had a great experience of the people, the food, the heritage . We definitely plan on coming back. This was amazing!!!

I had a terrific day with Eric in Kigali who is one of the best guides I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting! I booked the tour last minute the night before and am so happy with how it turned out. I had booked a half day tour but it turned into a full day (I compensated him of course) as once we met and I asked him about everything I hoped to see the day got long but he made it all happen, including a super delicious lunch at a local Rwandan place as I wanted to try Rwandan food (I loved it!). We went to a local market, milk bar, coffee place, lunch, the women’s cooperative, an art gallery and the Genocide Museum. I’d recommend all these stops as it’s a great way to better understand their culture, history and people. I rarely write reviews but I also rarely come across such an outstanding guide and company!!
