“I actually found this tour a bit odd. Shark's enthusiasm for the city was infectious, but I found he lacked the story telling I've come to expect from viator tours. The Tour de Rwanda was happening at the same time which certainly affected our movements around the city and definitely his itinerary. It was a different experience. Not bad. Not great.”
