5.00Keita was a happy, welcoming and informative tour guide. Loved this tour. In the WADA House, Keita gave us individual tour of very interesting aspects of the house that we had missed. We appreciated his enthusiasm in sharing this information with us. Love how he told us exactly where to get our pudding, beef hida and ice cream. Because of Keita we didn’t miss anything. Thank you 🙏
