    Not worth it

    This tour is not worth it at all. It’s way over priced for what it was. 2 out of the 5 stops were fruits and juice. For the same price in other places I’ve had way more stops and way more food. Plus, my tour guide was totally distracted by their phone to the point that towards the end, they were just watching some video on their phone. I do not recommend this tour at all.

    Response from the operator: We’re sorry your tour didn’t meet expectations. That’s never what we want every guest should leave full and happy. For clarity, our tours include full meals and multiple tastings, not just beans and brochettes. Still, if you left feeling underwhelmed, that means we missed the mark that day, and we take that seriously. We’ll use your feedback to improve. And while this experience was disappointing for you, we hope readers also notice that 98% of our reviews are glowing and we’ve been featured in Condé Nast Traveler. For most guests, Jollof’Appétit is a highlight of Kigali.

    Must do food tour!

    We travel quite a bit and always take a food tour/cooking class of some sort where ever we go as we’ve found it a great way to try wonderful food and experience the local culture. This was one of our favorite tours ever! Chris and Ava were very knowledgeable about Rwandan food and culture, but also nice and interesting people. Along the way we had great conversations, in addition to trying great food. There is a reason this tour is recommended by both Travel and Leisure Magazine and Lonely Planet!

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for the raving review Cynthia. We're so glad you had a great experience with us.

    Great Saturday evening enjoying local food

    We had a short time in Kigali and wanted to try some of the local cuisine but weren’t sure where to start. We found Jollof Appetite online and booked the Remera tour and had a great time. We got to try some delicious local food and beers and Yves our guide was a lovely and informative - it was like going out on a Saturday night with a friend! 😊 Ola was very accommodating with our last minute booking - than you both for an enjoyable evening!

    Response from the operator: A great review never gets old. We're so glad we could accommodate you and more importantly that you enjoyed our walking food tour experience. Thank you 😊

    Fun local adventure - ideal to get a feel for Kigali

    Really good fun and a great way to see the local street life. The guides were very keen for us to enjoy the tour and went out of their way to deal with fussy dietary requirements.

    Response from the operator: Thanks for the great review. We're so glad you enjoyed the food tour experience.

    Walking Food Tour in Remera and Kigali: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kigali.

    How much does Walking Food Tour in Remera and Kigali cost?

    +

    Prices start at $99 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Kigali usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Walking Food Tour in Remera and Kigali take?

    +

    Plan for about 2.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Kigali is not rushed.

    Is Walking Food Tour in Remera and Kigali worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Kigali, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Walking Food Tour in Remera and Kigali?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Walking Food Tour in Remera and Kigali suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Walking Food Tour in Remera and Kigali?

    +

    Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Kigali can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Kigali and add a light layer if any part of the 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Walking Food Tour in Remera and Kigali start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Kigali within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Kigali?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Kigali experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include One-day Akagera National Park Game Drive with a Choice 4x4, One Day Akagera Wildlife Safari, Kigali City Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Kigali?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Kigali?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Walking Food Tour in Remera and Kigali?

    +

    Included: Bottled water; Alcoholic beverages; and Dinner. Not included: Private transportation. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Walking Food Tour in Remera and Kigali?

    +

    1st meeting spot is at Cafe Camellia Kisimenti is at KG 1 Ave. Between Canaberra & Drop Drip and accross the street from Samaliya Boutique. Please NOTE: Tour Guide leaves 1st meeting spot after 20 mins. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Walking Food Tour in Remera and Kigali?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
