The Kigali City Tour by Motorcycle was one of the most exciting and unique experiences during my visit to Rwanda. Riding through the city's clean streets and vibrant neighborhoods on the back of a motorcycle provided a completely different perspective of Kigali. Our guide was professional, friendly, and very knowledgeable about the city's history, culture, and major landmarks. The tour covered key attractions while also taking us through local areas that many visitors would not normally see. The motorcycle ride was comfortable, safe, and an excellent way to navigate the city's hills and scenic viewpoints. What impressed me most was the opportunity to interact with local people and experience Kigali's daily life up close. The guide shared fascinating stories and insights that made the tour both educational and enjoyable. I highly recommend this tour to travelers looking for an authentic, fun, and memorable way to discover Kigali.
I really recommend Iriza Tours & Safaris for their motorbike tour of Kigali. Sadi was a fantastic tour guide. I was nervous because it was my first time as a passenger on a motorbike, but Sadi made me feel comfortable and at ease. Iriza Tours & Safaris honoured by request to customise the tour with some additional museums. Sadi picked me up from my hotel. Sadi’s in-depth knowledge of Kigali meant he was able to share insights about all the different areas we were visiting.

Super fun moto tour of Kigali. Each stop on the tour is done at your own pace. We visited the walking streets, the Kigali Genocide Memorial, where we learned about the tragic events of the 1994 genocide, the Niyo Arts Center, then stopped for a fantastic dinner. The ride was safe and a lot of fun. Definitely recommend doing this to get a good snapshot of Kigali.

We got to visit so many places around the city in one day, and riding through the streets gave it a different vibe. I highly recommend this tour if you want to explore Kigali in an exciting and unique way.

My guide arrived at my hotel with an extra motorcycle and a passenger helmet ,I won’t lie I was nervous at first. I didn’t expect it to feel so safe, but the rider was careful and smooth the whole way. We cruised through the city, met up with other groups, and just enjoyed the freedom of it all. At one point, we stopped for coffee and my guide explained more about Kigali’s history it felt personal and relaxed. This is a great experience for anyone on a budget who wants to explore the city freely and up close. I highly recommend Iriza Tours & Safaris for a fun and safe motorcycle tour of Kigali.
