Three days tour with Silas 8Visa Travel & Tours all across Burundi

The three days tour appeared to me truly complete; the best of Burundi, I guess, was visited. Visa Travel & Tours took care of all of the details to have the trip effective with preventive contacts with local people in the sites who explained whatever we were visiting as well as logistic tips (restaurants, hotels, car & gasoline) to avoid unwished surprises. However, more than the tour itself, what impressed me was the friendship which was developed during the tour with Silas (representative person of the agency), a friendship which made me feeling not to be a "tourist" looked after by an "agency" but a person taking a trip along with a friend. Moreover, friendship and nice welcomes were at the basis of the contacts with all of the people we've met during the tour. These people invited us in their homes, laughed with us, offered to us beer and food, had true and sincere conversations while dealing with us like friends instead of simply being occasional meeting. As a matter of fact, I wasn't surprised : Silas is a pleasant and brilliant guy, it goes without saying that his friends are expected to be similar to him.
Professional and cordial
