• 5Great food tour!

  An absolutely phenomenal experience, all due to Yves. He took us to a variety of eateries in the Muslim quarter and everything was delicious. His laid back, friendly disposition made me think I should move here if his attitude is emblematic of the all of the people here. And the food was SO GOOD. A little spendy, but honestly worth it.

• 3Nice experience but way too pricey even for Kigali

  Was nice local food experience and Gaella was super engaging guide. Just found the price way too much even for Kigali. Saw later that NuttinToDo offers same experience for fraction of cost. I’d pay max $35 per person instead of the $75 that we paid.

• 4Worth It for Culture & Convenience, Not for Food Variety

  This tour is best for first-time visitors and solo travelers who value culture, convenience, and safety more than the food itself. If you’re a foodie or a picky eater, this may not meet your expectations. Our guide, Gaella, was excellent — professional, communicative before the tour, very knowledgeable, and genuinely fun to spend time with. She added a lot of value to the experience. A few things to note for future travelers: the food shown in the listing photos was not what we received, the tour lasted just under 3 hours instead of the advertised 4, and while “7 foods” are listed, the stops included 3 food locations, 1 dessert stop, and 1 local drink. For me, the food itself was average and not quite worth the price. However, if you don’t mind paying a premium for the ease, comfort, cultural insight, and having a great local guide, you’ll likely enjoy this experience. While it didn’t fully meet my expectations based on the description, I still had a good time overall and don’t regret doing it.

• 4Even Picky Eaters Will Enjoy This Experience

  We live here in Rwanda and have yet to eat any local Rwandan food...until this lovely tour. It was fantastic to experience a new part of Kigali, to walk through the vibrant and busy streets and find some food that we really enjoyed. Even our picky eater daughter enjoyed something at each place. That's hard to do. Well done!

• 2TOO EXPENSIVE FOR WHAT YOU GET. NOT WORTH IT.

  My wife and I have traveled to more than 30 countries together and, during our travels, we have done more than 5 street food tours. In all these years of travelling, this is the only food tour that we regret doing. Here is the reason why: this experience in Kigali was by far the most expensive, especially concerning what you get to eat. Basically, we paid USD 75 per person (USD 150 for two people) to eat rice and beans, meat swekers and fruits. To put it bluntly: the price is extorsive if you take into account the food that was served to us (basic, simple and cheap). It was frustrating and disappointing. The chat with our guide was nice, but, still, for this price range, it is not worth it. Avoid this tour.

• 5Try IT.

  This trip is recommended. We went as a group. Our host Joselito and Chris were amazing. Very informative and hospitable too. it was good to see other parts of Rwanda. I love the culture, the people, the food. I love everything about Rwanda. Will visit again.

About Kigali

Kigali is Rwanda's capital, a tidy city on green hills in the middle of the country, with memorials, craft markets and routes to gorilla country.

Kigali spreads across several hills in the heart of Rwanda, at about 1,500 metres, so the air is mild all year. The Kigali Genocide Memorial tells the story of the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi and honours those buried there. The Kandt House Museum holds natural history displays in the house of the German colonial resident Richard Kandt, and the Inema Arts Centre shows contemporary Rwandan art.
