This is an excellent tour that takes visitors into the homes of residents in the village that Kinigi's hotels border. I had the opportunity to learn about traditional basket making, listen to authentic Rwandan music, try on Rwandan clothing and visit an elementary school. This tour is a must do and is easy to add on to any gorillas/golden monkeys/hiking trip in the Musanze area. Highly recommend!

I did the « Authentic Village Tour » on my own while my colleagues went on a gorilla trek. This tour was the absolute highlight of my trip! The villagers were so welcoming! They made me feel as if I was a family member coming for a visit. Everyone seemed genuinely happy I was there and they were proud to show me their homes and their way of life. I was touched by everyone’s warm and genuine smiles. I especially loved the school children. Even though there was no school that day, the children still gathered at the school and danced and sang for me for 30 minutes! I LOVED it! They were all so talented! It was a lot of fun! My tour guide Allen was amazing!!! She was kind and sweet; and everyone in the village was happy to see her. She seemed like family to the villagers. It was pouring rain during the tour and she made sure I was dry and helped me when I needed assistance moving along the slippery paths. She made sure I was well cared for and waited with me for at least 90 minutes after the tour until my group rejoined us. Through all this I gained a new friend. She’s such a kind soul. The tour itself was affordable, well-priced, and worth every cent. BGE gives back part of the proceeds to the village community visited, which is great! I’d support this company and use them again if/when I return to Rwanda. It was well organized and communication with Theodore and Allen was great! Thanks BGE for an amazing experience!
