A guide to care!

5.00Olivier, from the moment we took charge, made us benefit from his knowledge of this wonderful country from an economic, historical or human point of view. The course is adapted to our expectations, a paradise stop at the hot springs. Excellent fish lunch, in an idyllic setting chosen by Olivier. His perfect knowledge of French was a plus for us. Accompanier highly recommended 🤩

Cruising with Jerry

5.00The whole tour from start to finish was a beautiful experience. My family and I were the only ones - an exclusive tour! We were very comfortable and enjoyed the lovely scenery. Our tour guide Jerry did a wonderful job - he demonstrated his knowledge of the surrounding areas leading up to and around Gisenyi and Lake Kivu. We had stopovers to stretch our legs and use the loo (as applicable). Jerry also provided us with breakfast and lunch!!! I particularly loved the boat cruise and the hot springs, and will definitely visit Kigali again. It was definitely worth the cost!
Discovering the Beauty and Warmth of Rwanda

5.00Visited Rwanda and had an incredible time exploring the beauty of this country. I did the Kigali City Tour, visited Nyungwe National Park, and spent time in Gisenyi by Lake Kivu. Each experience was unique and amazing. The city tour gave me a great insight into Kigali’s rich history and culture, while Nyungwe’s breathtaking views and canopy walk were unforgettable. Gisenyi was a peaceful retreat with stunning views of Lake Kivu – perfect for relaxing after the adventure. Rwanda is such a beautiful country with beautiful people, and the service everywhere was excellent. I definitely encourage my friends and family to visit this wonderful country. As someone from Nigeria, I felt right at home!
