Highly Recommend -- Two Memorials with a Knowledgeable Guide - Although the guide at one of the Genocide Memorials seemed surprised (and a bit frustrated) at conducting the guided tour upon my arrival, Samy, my personal tour guide for the day, provided a wonderful experience: communicating clearly via WhatsApp hours before the event; getting me to the sites on time; and making me feel comfortable in taking my time once at the memorials. The tour is heavy in scope, but Samy is pleasant and professional, adding a layer of warmth by providing information about Rwanda's current politics and affairs, adding a forward, progressive trajectory to the country's tragic past. Much recommended!

Moving - My mom and I did this tour with Aime. Driving was great. We learned a lot from him. These tours were heavy, but worthwhile. It gives a deeper perspective into Rwanda’s history.
My only criticism — there was a bit of confusion at one of the locations. It was unclear whether the company didn’t give good notice or the memorial didn’t staff properly. It worked out in the end, but it would have been disappointing to go all that way and pay such a substantial sum to get turned away. I didn’t push the issue at the time because it was unclear who dropped the ball on this.

Memorable experience. - I would definitely recommend Wild Hikes Rwanda. They are always on time and the tour guides are very knowledgeable about different events in the city. My particular experience was a memorable one, and wish all newcomers to take the same trip. Wild Hikes took me on a tour to Ntarama and Nyamata genocide memorial.
