King Kofi and the Goldstar Premier Tour Company team gave us an unforgettable experience in Kumasi. He led us through several tours and brought the history, culture, and traditions of the Ashanti Kingdom to life. He was knowledgeable, engaging, patient, and professional throughout. One highlight was our tour of the bustling Kejetia Market, where King Kofi helped us comfortably navigate the crowds and intensity. He also took us to the Kente Tourist Centre to purchase authentic kente cloth. He negotiated with the sellers beforehand, made sure we were not pressured or overcharged, and helped us get excellent deals. When some members of our group did not have enough local currency, he even fronted the cash so they would not miss out. We always felt welcomed, protected, and well cared for. This was more than sightseeing; it was an authentic, educational, and meaningful cultural experience. I highly recommend King Kofi and Goldstar Premier Tour Company to anyone visiting Kumasi.
I truly appreciate the exceptional service you provided. You were attentive, patient, kind, and very knowledgeable about your services. Your professionalism and genuine care made the experience wonderful. I wish you continued success and many blessings in all that you do!
I enjoyed every moment from start to finish, the crew members were kind, courteous, knowledgeable, and just outright fantastic. I’ve always wanted to go to Ghana but this trip superseded my expectations, Samuel Kumah the CEO of Golden star and his crew members made us feel like family, and so at home that I’m definitely going back to the Motherland.
Kofi and his team were great tour guides. The hotels selected, from Accra, to Kumasi to Cape Coast were excellent. The events he organized, the historical tours were great. And, when we needed something extra, they found a way to provide it.
From Clients to Family — Our Unforgettable Ghana Experience 🇬🇭✨ My group of 48 travelers from across the Caribbean and the USA embarked on a nine-night adventure through Accra, Kumasi City, and Cape Coast—and what an incredible journey it was! Traveling by bus, we experienced the very best of Ghana—its culture, history, people, and vibrant spirit. From start to finish, Samuel (King Kofi) and his amazing Goldstar Premier Tour Company (GPTC) team went above and beyond to ensure that every detail was perfectly managed. Whether it was site visits, shopping excursions, delicious local meals, smooth money exchanges, transfers, or even satisfying our cultural cravings for fresh coconut water, Kofi and his crew made sure we felt cared for—both as a group and as individuals. To capture it all, Kofi even arranged for a professional videographer and photographer, ensuring we returned home with stunning memories to share. We arrived in Accra as clients on September 10th and left on September 19th as family and friends—our hearts full and spirits lifted. We fell in love with Ghana (our Motherland) and the warmth of her people, and I am looking forward to take another group to Ghana. Goldstar Premier Tour Company is truly first in its class—thank you, King Kofi and your dedicated team, for giving us an experience that was nothing short of magical. We 💕 Accra. We 💕 love Kumasi City and Cape Coast. We 💕 Ghana. We 💕 GPTC!
Goldstar Premier Tour Company, Kumasi, Samuel (Kofi) and his team were outstanding. They were trustworthy and reliable, polite and accommodating. I always felt safe and protected whenever they were around, The tours were very informative and educational. I would highly recommend Goldstar Premier Tour Company.
Exploring Accra, Kumasi and Cape Coast with King Kofi was an eye opening experience. As part of a large group Kofi made the experience very light hearted and also made himself and his team very accessible to our individual needs. I would definitely recommend his tour services to any individual and large groups wishing to explore Ghana and learn more about its culture and history
Had an amazing day with good friends and new friend Kofi. We learned a lot of Kumasi history, history of the of the Asante people and some good laughs. Did a bit of Kente weaving, saw the beautiful campus of Kumasi University, and enjoyed a magical naming ceremony. Kofi was good natured and accommodating which isn't always easy is a group of 6. Would definitely book with him again and in fact have already planned the next adventure.
We had an amazing experience with Kofi and his team. From the kente weaving, naming ceremony and all the stops in between, the little details made the day very special for, myself, my mom and my friends. Learning a bit of Twi and sampling street food were unexpected but super fun. This was more that just a tour. It was like hanging out with close friends. This was not my first trip 'home'. I am certain it won't be my last and I will look to book with this team, again and again.
