Rwanda Community Tour - Our Community Experience Tour was great! If you visit Rwanda, you should have this experience. Our guide, Serge, was clearly familiar with the village we visited. There was no uncomfortable sense of voyeurism. We started with a survey of local cottage industries which were notable for their particular skills. We also purchased some of their products...huge win! We then roasted our own local coffee and sweetened it with local honey. We enjoyed a dance from the local dance troupe...so much fun! Finally, we cooked some food in the local style and enjoyed a meal of local cuisine and banana beer. (We enjoyed the banana beer...we'll try to get some once we get home.) This was a great experience and very rewarding to learn the local culture.

Good tour of a local village - Serge was a great guide, but I think it's overpriced for what's included. However, I'd still recommend it, the drumming lesson was definitely a highlight of my trip.
