The guide was not only professional and knowledgeable about the city’s history and culture, but also incredibly friendly and attentive — making every moment feel personal and special. I learned so much about local life, and felt welcomed everywhere we went. Their punctuality, flexibility, and attention to detail really made my trip stress-free and memorable. I highly recommend this agency to anyone wanting to discover the true spirit of Kigali with warmth, depth, and authenticity.

Unforgettable Rwanda

5.00Today 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.

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
Great city tour of Kigali

5.00I 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!
Highly Recommended!
