A wonderful way to discover Kigali
We had a wonderful Kigali city tour by motorcycle with Sadi as our guide. He was very friendly, patient and explained many things about the city and the local life. Going by motorcycle was really fun and also easy to move around the city. We visited different places and got to see Kigali from a local perspective. Thank you Sadi for the great day!

Amazing way to see the city!
We loved this tour! A motorcycle is the best way to get around the city & we always felt safe. Our guide was Sadi & he was fantastic!! He made sure we had plenty of time at each site & allowed us to add time to our tour because we were enjoying it so much.
The art gallery was great, the genocide memorial very emotionally exhausting, the market was fun & everyone was very respectful and kind to us (not overly pushy), and our lunch stop was an interesting car-free area. We also went to the obligatory Kigali sign and saw landmarks such as our American embassy, their huge stadiums, and more.
Sadi was kind enough to pay in Rwandan money as we had none & we paid him back in US dollars. So nice to have one less thing to worry about.
Very highly recommend!!

A custom ride with a famous guide!
Sadi was a great guide. I had already been to a few of the places on the itinerary, so he tailored a different tour just for me. It seems like half the moto drivers in the city knew him, we got waves and hellos all around. All around a great morning!

The Best Way to Explore Kigali
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.

Fantastic experience
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.

Excellent moto tour!
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.

Unique tour of kigali
The Kigali City Tour by motorbike was such a fun experience. My driver-guide was great, and we even joined up with another small group which made it even more lively. 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.
