Our guide Christian was knowledgeable and kind. He showed us all the highlights including the moving Genocide Memorial. His personal stories and insights into Rwandan society were invaluable. It was truly a pleasure to spend the day with him in Kigali.
The tour was very well organized from pick-up to drop off at hotel. All that was promised was delivered to high satisfaction. The tour leader Kim is a local who has excellent knowledge of Kigali and Rwanda's rich and at various times turbulent history. It was an experience where we got to know to the full the city and its people. Hence a memorable experience, good value for money and highly recommended.

We had an unforgettable safari experience in Rwanda with Christian as our guide. From the very beginning, it was clear that he truly cares about the animals and the park. His passion and knowledge made the entire trip both exciting and educational. Christian made sure we felt safe, comfortable, and well taken care of the whole time. He explained what we were seeing in a way that was easy to understand and answered all of our questions with patience. Thanks to him, we were able to see elephants, giraffes, zebras, baboons, hippopotamus, and so much more—it was incredible! If you’re looking for a guide who is professional, caring, and genuinely invested in giving you the best experience possible, I highly recommend booking a tour with Christian. He truly made our safari one we will never forget!
John Bob is a Terrific Guide, in the morning he came early before 9am and waited for us in front of our Hotel. We had a wonderful tour of Kigali City. We went to Kigali Genocide Memorial, Inema Art Center, Kimironko Market, Kigali Convention Centre,enjoyed the view from mountain Kigali, went to Imbuga City Walk… it’s an efficient day, we saw a lot of the City, especially we enjoyed the local food restaurant that John took us to. The lunch is amazing, thanks John for all the nice chats, answered us all questions, introduced us to the city’s history, talked about his family, his experience as a guide. In the end, John took us to the top floor of Kigali City Hall, we had a beautiful view of the city. It’s a wonderful day! Thanks so much John Bob!

Lovely full day tour of Kigali. Richard was excellent and gave us a full day of undivided attention. We stopped at several sites and had a nice lunch together. I would recommend this tour as a first day activity to get the lay of the land.
We had a great tour with serge back Sept 24. We were able to make some changes to the proposed itinerary based on our interests and what we saw on our prior tours. My mom and I really enjoyed the day. Book with him!
Very good day, Shadady was great. Really nice lunch. Thoroughly recommended.The memorial museum and garden moving, shame we arrived just after two school groups.
