    The museums were amazing and the tour guides were very knowledgeable about Ashanti culture and history. There were many great artifacts. I could have gotten to the locations on my own since the tour guide used Uber and did not provide any narrative or insight between locations. I would not recommend this company for solo trips.

    Bilson is a very friendly and caring person. I was picked from my hotel and throughout my tour of Kumasi, I had the experience of travelling in several types of local transports (eg: crotro, tuktuk, cabs and by walk) as we moved from location to location. I really did feel like a local and it was an enjoyable experience. Kumasi has a rich historical heritage and I had great fun learning about the Asante culture. Unfortunately, on the day I had the tour, the Mahahiya Palace Museum was closed , because they were reinstalling the Ghanaian artefacts returned by the British. But luckily, because the proprietor of the gift shop, knew Bilson, he allowed me to do some shopping, which was great for getting gifts for family. The tour ended with me eating a meal of foo foo. This was my first time and the food tasted good. I would really recommend this Tour because Bilson did his very best to make it enjoyable and comfortable for me from the moment I left the hotel till I returned.

    Bilson was a great guide and very friendly. We definitely experienced Kumasi in a way we could not on our own. He took very good care of us and we had a great time.

    3.5 stars, good way to see Kumasi highlights. Bilson is friendly and pleasant. Would have liked to hear more from our guide about local experiences and inner workings of the market. But overall good way to have a slightly personalized tour of Kumasi's historic attractions.
