This tour provides you a great overview of Kumasi and the Asante people. We especially liked Okomfo Anokye Sword Site. We can recommend the tour.

Bilson has a warm personality and took great photos of us walking towards the market and at the sites. We had a very local lunch experience which was nice but music was too loud for talking. He did not have a personal vehicle so we took several taxis and some were in very poor condition. He also could have picked us up on time and at the agreed location. But he is flexible and picked us at the airport after we clarified we could not come to him. He did not explain much of the sites as there were private guides at each stop. Most disappointing was we came specifically for the Akwaside Festival which we stressed in all our communication but the event was cancelled because the King travelled. Not his fault but he was totally unaware and we only found out at the Palace. Overall an ok tour but could have visited the sites on my own in a nicer and safer Uber. He is growing his business and I think it will keep impr

Great local experience learning about the Asante people, riding through the market and watching the traditional weaving process. We had a great tour guide who was very knowledgeable and passionate walking with my mom and helping her as we walked throughout the city. The tour is affordable and gives a great “crash course” style experience into Kumasi especially if you’re only in town for a day. We flew in with AWA at 7am and returned to Accra that evening at 5pm.

Bilson gave us a great experience touring Kumasi. He is kind and very knowledgeable. He made us feel comfortable exploring the local areas and markets, and tailored the experience to us.
Bilson also helped us explore Kente villages further outside of Kumasi.
We 100% recommend Bilson for anyone wanting to get to know the city.

Bilson is a very friendly and caring person. I was picked from my hotel and throughout my tour of Kumasi, I had the experience of travelling in several types of local transports (eg: crotro, tuktuk, cabs and by walk) as we moved from location to location. I really did feel like a local and it was an enjoyable experience. Kumasi has a rich historical heritage and I had great fun learning about the Asante culture. Unfortunately, on the day I had the tour, the Mahahiya Palace Museum was closed , because they were reinstalling the Ghanaian artefacts returned by the British. But luckily, because the proprietor of the gift shop, knew Bilson, he allowed me to do some shopping, which was great for getting gifts for family. The tour ended with me eating a meal of foo foo. This was my first time and the food tasted good. I would really recommend this Tour because Bilson did his very best to make it enjoyable and comfortable for me from the moment I left the hotel till I returned.

We learned so much from this tour and from our guide, Bilson. Plus, we just enjoyed our time with Bilson. He is interesting and so personable.

3.5 stars, good way to see Kumasi highlights. Bilson is friendly and pleasant. Would have liked to hear more from our guide about local experiences and inner workings of the market. But overall good way to have a slightly personalized tour of Kumasi's historic attractions.

We had a great time touring Kumasi with Bilson. We saw places we wouldn’t have been able to see on our own and really experienced a side to Kumasi that most tourists might miss. Bilson worked hard to ensure we had a great experience and I’d recommend anyone to take the tour like a local trip to see the real Kumasi.

The tour guide was knowledgeable of the city. He was very polite. He interacted with us and made sure we understood.

Le guide (une dame) était très gentille, elle a fait du mieux qu’elle pouvait.
Cependant l’organisation demande à être revue. En particulier les déplacements d’un lieu à un autre. J’ai eu l’impression de participer à un «trecking City tour »
