A Solo Female's Kigali Adventure: Raving Review from Cape Town Traveler - My experience with Iriza Tours in Kigali was outstanding, largely thanks to Ange and Esther. Their knowledgeable guidance and infectious enthusiasm made every moment memorable. As a solo female traveler from Cape Town, their warmth and expertise made me feel right at home. Iriza Tours' seamless organization and attention to detail ensured a hassle-free and enriching adventure. I wholeheartedly recommend Ange, Esther, and Iriza Tours for an unforgettable exploration of Kigali. They are simply the best in the business. Thank you, Ange, Esther, and Iriza Tours, for an incredible journey!

An indescribable experience. - Arriving in Kigali from England, solo with a disorganised itinerary, I reached out to the expat group on Facebook and one of the members recommended Iriza Tours. I wanted to do a lot in one day but having only visited Kigali once before, I didn’t know anyone who could guide me. I contacted Iriza Tours and they arranged the most amazing day for me. I got to see many sights I didn’t know existed and explored the best parts of Rwanda. The service was brilliant and I have to mention Ange. She is such a kind and calm soul. She was very patient, answering my millions of questions. 10/10 for the entire experience. Thank you so much!

Best Kigali Guide in Rwanda Hands Down!!! - My wife and I arrived in Kigali super unprepared for the trip in terms of iteniary on what to do in Kigali and how we would get around the city, we spent a day or two trying to figure out what to do and then gave up until we saw the Iriza tour iteniary which consisted of the exact things anyone needs to jump start their time in Kigali, they arrived promptly to pick us up from our apartment (which was a god send after the experience with taxi drivers and the language barrier). Esther and Ange were so polite and accomodating for all our needs throughout the day and even threw in a few extras towards the end of the day to see which we did not expect. Had such a great experience that we decided to then stick with them to guide us through all our sightseeing tours of Rwanda. Best customer services and hospitality we have experienced in the land of a thousand hills. Great job guys and thank you so much for making our trip 10/10.

A Phenomenal Journey through Kigali with Iriza Tours - My city tour of Kigali with Iriza Tours was an absolute delight and exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I was warmly greeted by their expert guide, I knew I was in for a memorable experience that would leave a lasting impression. The tour commenced with a visit to the Kigali Genocide Memorial, a powerful testament to Rwanda's history and resilience. The guide provided profound insights into the memorial's significance, offering a somber yet essential perspective on the country's journey towards healing and unity. As we traversed through Kigali, I was captivated by the city's modernity, cleanliness, and vibrant atmosphere. The guide skillfully navigated us through bustling markets, serene parks, and significant landmarks like the Kigali Convention Centre, sharing rich narratives and historical context that brought the city to life. I highly recommend Iriza tours to anyone visiting Kigali Rwanda
