According to some of Burundians who talked to this website, the tour challenged the inaccurate and negative image of Burundi portrayed by some sections of western media.

They commended President Pierre Nkurunziza for the peaceful environment during their stay in the country.
During their tours they visited Bujumbura, Mwaro, Makamba among others.
