Bilson has a warm...

3.00Bilson has a warm personality and took great photos of us walking towards the market and at the sites. We had a very local lunch experience which was nice but music was too loud for talking. He did not have a personal vehicle so we took several taxis and some were in very poor condition. He also could have picked us up on time and at the agreed location. But he is flexible and picked us at the airport after we clarified we could not come to him. He did not explain much of the sites as there were private guides at each stop. Most disappointing was we came specifically for the Akwaside Festival which we stressed in all our communication but the event was cancelled because the King travelled. Not his fault but he was totally unaware and we only found out at the Palace. Overall an ok tour but could have visited the sites on my own in a nicer and safer Uber. He is growing his business and I think it will keep impr
Great Local Experience

5.00Great local experience learning about the Asante people, riding through the market and watching the traditional weaving process. We had a great tour guide who was very knowledgeable and passionate walking with my mom and helping her as we walked throughout the city. The tour is affordable and gives a great “crash course” style experience into Kumasi especially if you’re only in town for a day. We flew in with AWA at 7am and returned to Accra that evening at 5pm.
Excellent experience with Bilson

5.00Bilson gave us a great experience touring Kumasi. He is kind and very knowledgeable. He made us feel comfortable exploring the local areas and markets, and tailored the experience to us. Bilson also helped us explore Kente villages further outside of Kumasi. We 100% recommend Bilson for anyone wanting to get to know the city.
Great Museums

3.00The 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.
A memorable visit to Kumasi

5.00Bilson 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.
A feast for the senses with good local food, interesting history, and a great guide.

5.00Bilson 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.

3.003.5 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.
