Very good and knowledgeable. The tour guide was wonderful and very friendly. A nice quick way to see city.
Sandra was a great guide in Kigali for our group. The highlight was the women's centre and she also brought us to an excellent restaurant for a late night dinner!
Sandra was our guide during our stay in Kigali. She showed us the city's highlights, from exploring its attractions to sampling local cuisine. Sandra made the experience engaging and fun. She also has plenty of excellent restaurant recommendations and took us to a really cool restaurant on our last night, where the food was delicious and the atmosphere was a vibe. I would highly recommend booking a tour with Sandra if you are planning to explore Kigali.
