Kigali has a different energy in the evening. As the sun goes down, the city lights up, people leave work, and locals gather to enjoy food, music, and good company.
This experience gives you the chance to see Kigali beyond the daytime attractions and enjoy the city the way locals do. Visit popular local spots, taste street food, enjoy local drinks, listen to good music, and if you feel like it, join the locals on the dance floor.
It’s a relaxed evening to discover Kigali’s social side and create memories after sunset.

I booked this tour on my...
I booked this tour on my own, but before the tour I asked the team if there was another group I could join. As luck would have it, another couple had booked for the same night, so they paired us together. I am really glad they did because it made the evening much more fun.
The three of us, together with our driver-guide, had a great time exploring Kigali’s nightlife, trying local beer, and chatting along the way. It felt relaxed, safe, and authentic. Our guide stayed with us throughout the evening and made sure everyone got home safely at the end of the night.
If you want to experience a different side of Kigali, this tour is definitely worth it.
Operator response
Thank you so much for your lovely review, Daisy! We are so happy we could pair you with another group and make your night even more enjoyable. It is wonderful to hear you had a fun, safe, and memorable experience exploring Kigali’s nightlife. We hope to welcome you back again soon!

Perfect Night Out in Kigali with an Amazing Guide
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.
Operator response
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.

Driver/Guide didn’t show up
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.
Operator response
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.

Be careful of the tour you book
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.
Operator response
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.

Exceeded Expectations — Personalized, Safe, and Unforgettable Night Out
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.
Operator response
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.

Exceeded Expectations — Safe, Personalized, and So Much Fun
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

The Magic of Kigali at Night
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.

Kigali night
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
Operator response
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.
