A perfect tour to get a deeper knowledge of the history and the culture of Rwanda - I got an excellent insight in the history of Rwanda, esp. the colonial times and the development of the genocide The hotel accomodation was great. I had a very competent guide, Abou, with a high command of the English language, who also was very obliging and helpful in responding to personal interests. I always felt absolutely safe. I can highly recommend this Shalom tour and its guide. Bernard Wichert

An Insightful trip - Learning how the Rwandans were able to rise above the tragic genocidal event. You never know how much they went through until you visit Rwanda and learn for yourself the true history and rich culture of the Rwandans. Rwanda has such a beautiful landscape weather you are in the city or at country side, it’s a beautiful country to visit if you are looking to just bask in nature’s wonderful architecture.
