Full-Day Tour to Ashanti Region, Kumasi and Ghanaian History

Daniel and Daniel were the perfect guides for this outing. Daniel, our driver, expertly navigated the traffic and roads, ensuring our trip was safe and punctual. Daniel, our tour guide, was the perfect blend of historian and first-rate host. He narrated the history of just about every area we passed through, providing insights the enriched the trip. At the historical sites we visited, he likewise explained the background behind the monument, and the enduring significance of it. He wax particularly knowledgeable of every aspect of the Botanical Gardens we visited. Also, he was extremely generous, treating us to local food items along the way, giving us a deeper understanding into the culture he was educating us on. Finally, he enabled us to purchase souvenirs for which we didn’t have any money on hand, by using his relationship with vendors to allow him to collect the money from us back at our hotel and return to the site with it later. This was truly a most memorable voyage from start to finish! Rudolph G.

This day started very early, however, it was necessary to accomplish all that we did. Thank you Daniel for your expertise, great knowledge and time management skills. My daughter and I experienced and learned a lot on this tour.

Daniel was a courteous, informative, and attentive guide, and our driver, Joe was great. Even in unexpected situations (like a delay on the highway because of an overturned tanker truck), Daniel was always helpful and pleasant. The tour was great— all of the site visits were incredibly informative and I learned much. I would do this again.

I am absolutely thrilled to write this review! Upgrading to the two-day version of this tour was the perfect decision. Between the early morning commute, the visits to the Kente and Adinkra sites, and the various stops along the way, we really needed the overnight respite. The lunch provided was delicious (honestly, one of the best meals of our entire trip), and the hotel was clean and comfortable. Our young guides, David and Clinton, were simply wonderful. They genuinely cared and perfectly tailored the pace for our mixed group (ranging from 18 to 80 years old). A special shout-out to our driver, also named David, for getting us there safely. Finally, the communication before, during, and after the trip was top-tier and contributed to a seamless experience. Pro-tip: Definitely sign up for the naming ceremony with them if you want an authentic experience complete with Kente clothing!"

Communication between Mike and Kwame was top tier. Everything was explained, we had a great time on our tour. Private clean SUV awaited us with working AC. We laughed, talked, ate and listened to a great Afro beats playlist on the journey. Thank you Mike, you were awesome!! Hope to see you again soon 🙌🏾

Daniel and his Driver was super professional and accommodating, not to mention very knowledgeable. He was able to answer every question that we had. If you are in Ghana, and looking for a tour, this is the place to look first.

We had two wonderful tour guides, PKay and Deniel, each kept us engaged Thu out the tour. It was long drive but they were showing different, townships and just so much. Told how long it takes for Cocoa farm to start producing, we enjoy every moment then we dined at really nice restaurant, where the food was tasty!!!To watch the weaving of the Kente was one highlights !! Rapeal and his group Sam and Lucy were really something!! We met the master weaver so fast he weaved I could not believe it. I had a beautiful day !! I will do this tour again!! Both young men were kind and respectful. Thank You for sending the right people !!

Road trips aren’t new to my family—we’ve done them in foreign countries on five continents, and this was our fifth in Africa. We provided the tour operator with a customed itinerary of sites and activities we wanted to visit on the route to Kumasi. To fully enjoy each stop, we divided the trip into two days with an overnight stay in Kumasi before returning to Accra. The operator confirmed they could accommodate our plan but made some adjustments based on their local knowledge, which we agreed to. We met our guide, Daniel, early in the morning and set off. I fell asleep during the drive, only to wake and discover our first stop was actually third on our agreed itinerary. I wasn’t sure why the order changed, and unfortunately I never got clarity, as we soon suffered a tire blowout that left us stranded for hours while repairs were made. As a result, Day 1 was reduced to just two of the four planned stops, and the latter of which felt rushed. We arrived at the hotel late and, after a long day, chose to sleep in and skip the first planned stop of Day 2 to focus on the top attraction for my kids—the zip line. Sadly, we didn’t arrive before it closed. While I understand car trouble can happen, I was disappointed that we didn’t follow the agreed itinerary for Day 1 and that communication could have been proactive and collaborative. The sites we did manage to visit were great, but the experience was overshadowed by long stretches on the road—and one long stretch on the roadside. Nevertheless, thankful for the care Daniel and our driver provided.

Daniel was an excellent tour guide. The trip itself was fascinating and what I wanted out of visiting this region.

Great tour and guide. Enjoyed the hands-on experience of the making of the kente cloth, the learning of adinkra symbols, and getting to create my own, and finally, the history of Asante sword.
