It was great to see and hear the histories of the Kings. Its was a worthy experience I strongly recommend. The guide was friendly and polite. I think it was slightly pricy and the lady at the reception was dishonest. She took 9000RWF but registered 6000RWF on the government system. I found that quite strange.
