A very friendly and dedicated guide. A program of visits a little too busy

The visit included two museums. One of them (Museum of African Arts) had replaced the permanent collection for 1 month with a temporary exhibition of fabrics and photos of little interest. The other Museum (of Black Civilization) was very interesting and would have deserved a longer visit. The guide and his driver were very friendly and dedicated and very kindly agreed to redesign the tour program.

Operator response

Merci pour votre feedbacks. D'habitude le musée des arts Africains présente une collection riche d'art Africain. Nous passerons votre message au Musée des arts Africains afin qu'il conserve leur meilleure collection pour les visiteurs.
