For me it was a god way to get another taste of Rwanda and found a hidden gem that I went back to twice on my trip to eat and see another side to Kigali. Highly recommend”

She made sure to contact me the day before as well as the day of the tour. This was one of the best food tours we’ve been on. All 3 spots were fantastic!
