"The Golden Monkey trek was well handled, but nothing special.
It would be better to do a 2nd day of gorilla trekking, as many people did." Read more about this whole safari

"very easy walk to see these monkeys. They were basically eating/ playing in a field near to the fringes of a forest.
Easy to see and they would come really close up." Read more about this whole safari

"Excellent experience"
Based at Mountain Gorilla View Lodge on 28 Jul 2018
"It would be a real shame not to do this as well as the Gorilla Trek.
The monkeys are more easily accessible and interesting to observe. We almost cancelled this trek in order to save time for Kigali on our last day but we are very glad we did not miss it (and we did all we wanted later on anyway)." Read more about this whole safari

"Delayed flights from states resulted in missing this day in Rwanda. Oh well needed another night in Nairobi as buffer and the two days of gorilla trekking more than made up for it."
