Today was one of the most moving days for me. I was not sure what to expect in coming to Rwanda, and I knew I wanted to come to support a friend who survived the genocide 30Ys ago: I had a day alone to explore Kigali b4 mtg him in his village tomorrow. My day with Justin was so far beyond. We started with the history of Rwanda pre and into colonial times & then moved to the genocide memorial. The level of tragedy is unconscionable but what impacted me most is seeing how the country has healed and created a very different country today. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming. Justin was the best - humble, gentle, knowledgeable & very open. Learning his own story along side seeing the impact and aftermath of that kind of violence and how the country came together is a model for all of in these times.
Dear Angie, Thank you for taking your time to review us, and hope to see you back again and again, then thank you for supporting us during this 30 years of Genocide against Tutsi anniversary. Stay safe
My husband and I had a wonderful time in Kigali. Fiacre, Tina and the silverbird tours were fantastic. They ensured that we had a great time from the moment we arrived our hotel till we got to the airport to head back home. It wasn’t just driving around but the knowledge, information and advice on the best way to explore the city was spot on! We cannot wait to be back. We are already singing their praises to all our friends and family who want to visit Rwanda. Thank you again guys, you rock! Gwen and Immanuel
Dear 75gweni, Thank you for letting us know that you enjoyed our service and we look forward to seeing you again.
I had very few days in Kigali and to be able to see as much as possible I contacted Silverbird Tours. They replied fast in e-mail and gave me all the information I needed before going. On the day of the tour company came exactly on time to my hotel. The driver Justin was very nice to travel with and he gave me the chance to see and do exactly what I wanted to. Without the conpany and the driver I would not had the chance to see and experience so much of Kigali. Wonderful service!
