Kigali Night Out Tour
Description
Kigali in the evening has its own rhythm. The traffic slows down, lights bounce off the hills, and people head out to eat, drink, and dance. This tour is your chance to experience the city after dark the way locals do with good music, local bars, street food, and if you are up for it, a dance floor or two. You can choose how you want to explore: by motorcycle, or in a car. Motorcycle For something more fun and fast, the moto option takes you bar to bar, lounge to food stop, with Kigali’s night lights all around. It is a lively, local way to experience more in one evening. Car If you prefer comfort, we will ride to rooftops, cozy bars, and popular nightclubs where the city’s music scene comes alive. It is smooth, unhurried, and filled with good company.

We had an amazing Kigali night out tour as a couple. Ange was our guide and she drove us very well throughout the evening. She really knows where to party and exactly where to take first-time visitors in Kigali, which made the whole experience feel easy and fun. We also visited Gisenyi with the same company and the service was excellent from start to finish. Everything was well organized and very smooth. Highly recommended.
Thank you, Dimitri . We are very happy to hear you enjoyed the Kigali night out and that Ange made the experience smooth, fun, and well organized. It is also great to know your trip to Gisenyi met your expectations. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to host you again in Rwanda.
The guide didn’t show up. It was my only night in Kigali and I didn’t feel comfortable going out alone so this was a huge disappointment. I am giving two stars instead of one because they did offer to send the driver later after I sent them a WhatsApp message, but that would have been too late for me. If you book with this company I would highly recommend reaching out by WhatsApp in advance to confirm because they said they didn’t even know about the tour, even though I had a confirmation email. They told me to email viator for a refund, which I did… but I have not heard back. A very frustrating experience.
Thank you, naomikateri. We sincerely apologize again for the inconvenience, especially as it was your only night in Kigali. This was due to a same-day booking that we unfortunately missed and confused with another reservation. We have accepted the refund and truly regret the experience. We hope we will have another chance to host you or your friends and family in the future, and we will do better.
What a waste of money, honestly my piece of advice to anyone who wants to book for a tour not to book a tour like this. I bet you, you will regret why you booked for such a tour. I paid 69$ for this tour even reached out to the tour operator with some questions which she responded but was emphasizing on the motorcycle tour which I don’t like thou the other option which was the car was quite expensive telling her if there is other option apart from motorcycle and car but she said none. At first i thought a car will pick me up from my hotel to the location then take a motorcycle which I paid for the tour but to my greatest surprise it was a motorcycle i saw. I was very pissed off and when she saw that I was not happy, they made arrangement for a car and took me to a bar close to my hotel 15 minutes walk from my hotel. Took one bottle of beer for 2k then walk to the green lounge which is 15 minutes from the bar and I took a bottle of coke for 2k then they order for a taxi to my hotel. That’s the tour for 69$ and when you convert it to RWF is 109,000 RWF which on your own can’t finish for such a tour if you decide to do that on your own. My first time tour and my first time using this app to book for a tour has made my visit unpleasant one. Worst tour ever, waste of money and poor communication. I totally regret with passion.
Dear Franklin, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are genuinely sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations, as we always aim to provide clear communication and a well-organized tour for every guest. However, we would like to respectfully clarify a few important points for the sake of accuracy. Prior to your booking and again before the tour, we clearly explained the available options for this experience, which are a motorcycle tour or a car-based tour at a different price. These details are also outlined in the tour description. You proceeded with the motorcycle option, and at no point was a different arrangement confirmed. We understand that personal preferences can change, but if the motorcycle experience was not comfortable for you, there was an option to cancel or select the car tour beforehand. During the tour, when you expressed dissatisfaction, we still made an effort to adjust and arranged alternative transport to ensure your comfort. Regarding pricing, the 69 USD you mentioned does not go entirely to us as the tour operator. A portion is retained by the booking platforms, including TripAdvisor and Viator, which is standard across the industry. Additionally, the tour cost includes not only transportation, but also the time, service, and guidance provided throughout the experience. We also want to clarify that the prices mentioned for drinks in your review are not accurate based on the locations visited. We always aim to take guests to places that reflect fair and local pricing. We take pride in our communication and always ensure that guests are well informed before confirming their bookings. For this reason, it is disappointing to see information presented in a way that does not reflect how the experience was arranged and delivered. We sincerely encourage all travelers to carefully review tour descriptions and choose options that best match their preferences to ensure an enjoyable experience.
Top night tour. Jerry led us to three completely different clubs we would never have found like this. Was something for everyone - highly recommended.
Thank you Matthias for this great review. We are really happy to hear that you enjoyed the Kigali Night Out Tour and that Jerry was able to take you to three completely different clubs you would not have found on your own. Showing authentic local spots and a variety of vibes in one night is exactly what we aim for.
This nightlife tour exceeded every expectation and ended up being one of the highlights of my time in Kigali. I chose to tour by motorbike, though there are options to go on foot or by car. My guide, Jerry, was professional, attentive, and customized the entire night based on what I wanted to see and experience. He asked about my music preferences, what I had already explored in the city, and made sure we visited places that felt authentic and local. If you want to dance, he’s happy to join in and even teach local dances. If you prefer to observe and enjoy the atmosphere, that’s completely fine as well. I felt safe throughout the entire experience and saw people of all backgrounds welcomed everywhere we went. The tour delivered exactly what was advertised and was absolutely worth the money. The only thing to note is that the tour includes local beer — cocktails are available at venues but purchased separately. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a genuine introduction to Kigali nightlife.
Thank you so much, Brittany. We are truly happy to hear the nightlife tour became a highlight of your time in Kigali. Jerry will be glad to know his care, flexibility, and local touch made the night special. We appreciate your detailed feedback and your recommendation. It means a lot to us.
This nightlife tour exceeded every expectation and was one of the most fun experiences I’ve had while traveling. I chose to tour by motorbike, but there are also options to go on foot or by car. My guide, Jerry, was extremely professional and tailored the entire night to my preferences. He asked what I had already seen in Kigali, what kind of music I liked, and made sure we ended the night at a hip-hop venue, which I loved. If you want to dance, he’ll dance with you and even teach you local dance styles. If you’d rather observe and enjoy the atmosphere, that’s completely fine too. The tour delivered exactly what was advertised and felt very safe the entire time. This experience is perfect for travelers who want to experience Kigali nightlife but aren’t sure where to go or want a local, non-touristy experience. I saw people of all backgrounds welcomed everywhere we went. The only thing to note is that the tour includes local Rwandan beer. If you prefer cocktails, those are available at the venues but paid separately (and very affordable). Overall, this tour was absolutely worth the money and I would highly recommend

We had a great time exploring Kigali’s nightlife with Jerry as our guide. He took me and my girlfriend to some of the best and hottest night spots in the city, and every place was fun with a great vibe. Jerry was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole night easy and enjoyable. Thank you, Jerry, for making our night tour in Kigali such an amazing experience. We loved it and will definitely remember it.
Thank you, Lucas. We are glad you and your girlfriend had such a great time exploring Kigali’s nightlife with Jerry. It is wonderful to hear you enjoyed the spots, the vibe, and the overall experience. We truly appreciate your kind words.
Kigali is such a beautiful city, especially at night. The view of the hills covered in lights is truly stunning. It was wonderful to explore, see how the city comes alive after dark, and experience the local nightlife. A very memorable evening.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience. We are glad you enjoyed seeing Kigali at night and that the city’s lights and atmosphere made it a memorable evening. Hope to have you join us again on another tour soon.
I had a really great night out in Kigali, thanks to Jerry! He took me to several popular night spots around the city, and it was such a relief having someone local with me who knew where to go and how to get around. He doesn’t drink so I felt completely safe the whole time. He shared so much about life in Rwanda and Kigali along the way, which made the night not just fun, but also really insightful. I got to see a different side of the city, full of energy and good vibes. Definitely a night to remember
Thank you for your wonderful review. We are happy to hear you had such a great night out in Kigali and that Jerry made you feel safe and comfortable while showing you the city’s nightlife. It is always nice when guests get to experience that fun and energetic side of Kigali.
Me and my girlfriend enjoyed the night out tour very much we opted for car option because we thought it was going to make our movement around the city easily in case it rains and we absolutely enjoyed every bit of it our guide Jeremiah is a young and fun to be around, we went to 3 night clubs and in Kigali they really party for sure! Will definitely visit Kigali again in the future.
Thank you, Andrew. We are glad you and your girlfriend enjoyed the Kigali Night Out Tour with Jeremiah and had a fun and memorable evening.
