"Wonderful trip with Innocent to Volcanoes National Park to Akagera National Park and back to Kigali. Gorilla Trekking, Golden Monkeys and Rhinos all in 5 days plus a stay at the Hotel Milles des Collines and a trip to the Genocide Memorial. Could not have asked for a better itinerary or tour guide. If you book with them ask for Innocent!"

"We travelled as a group of 10 across Rwanda for 13 days. Vincent (owner) arranged the tour which was fantastic. We had the best guides - Juvenale and Innocent (+ the lovely Anderson for 3 days). Rwanda exceeded our expectations. It's a gem of a country with wonderful people and the best hospitality. Such variety of activities too with extraordinary wildlife and many splendid cultural activities. Let's Go Tours Rwanda comes highly recommended."

"Let's Go Tours Rwanda provided us with superb 13 day trip with friends covering game safari in Akagera, the important history of Rwanda in Kigali, chimpanzee treks in Nyungwe rainforest and seeing gorillas in Volcanoes national park. The organisation by Vincent who greeted us in person at the airport and the excellent expert guides and drivers, Juvenale, Innocent and Anderson provided the best experiences each and every day. Their professional approach, knowledge and great company ensured our introduction to the most amazing and diverse country, its people and all Rwanda has to offer an unforgettable holiday of a lifetime. I highly recommend Let's Go Tours Rwanda and the fabulous guides - Juvenale, innocent and Anderson."
