I went with two of my colleagues and we had a fantastic time. It's a great activity to do alone or in a group. It was fun to learn about the process as well as make our own. Additionally, the owner of the group is a designer and can make custom clothes which we decided to do. Highly recommend!
The tour was wonderful, it exceeded my expectation. Albert the tour guide is a designer himself and knows a lot about textiles. But also could answer all my questions about Ghanaian society.
Albert really knows a lot about the history of Ghanaian fabrics. He discussed the authenticity and different quality levels. He’s also an great tailor and I had some outfits made.
