Great trip with Kwame Tours - 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!"

We booked a private tour with Mike. From start to finish, Mike was knowledgeable, personable, professionally. Thank you! - 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 🙌🏾

Homecoming - 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.

A Day in the mountains!!! - 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 !!

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

Amazing History - 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.

He was also excellent! - The BEST was Daniel, our extremely knowledgable tour guide! He was very alert to our needs, constantly checking to make sure we understood how the past had affected and molded Ghanaian and Kumasi culture. He was also an excellent barterer and negotiator to ensure we got the greatest bargains when we were shopping for souvenirs. There is no reason to miss this tour.

An incredible day trip - Kumasi is a 6 hour drive from Accra. Our driver, James, checked in with us the day before to confirm the pick up location. We had selected the 5.30am start time. He was at our building from 5am allowing us to get on the road early. His colleague, Joseph also accompanied us to act as guide. Some parts of the journey required using roads that were riddled with pot-holes but James drove us deftly and confidently. We stopped at a rest stop for a toilet break and snack. There are not many stopping options along the way but when we needed another toilet break, James managed to negotiate the use of a bank rest room. We reached Kumasi after 10am and did a series of workshops around the indigenous crafts. I was pleased to try out a kente loom, learn about how cocoa plants are grown in the midst of a real farm, and try out adinkra printing. We visited the Ashanti palace and then the sword museum. Wary of the drive home we picked up lunch to go from a lovely local restaurant set around a lake. With traffic it was a 7 hour drive back but our two guides kept the banter going and helped the time pass. James did most of that drive in the dark, through rainfall at times and across the same pot-holed roads. He had the toughest task that day and was amazing. We reached our accommodation around 11pm. My mother and I have raved endlessly about how much we enjoyed the day trip. The bad roads make the day more difficult than it needs to be. I would suggest you do it as an overnight trip. But I would highly recommend the Kumasi trip with Kwame Tours.

OUTSTANDING!! - WOW!!! What an amazing day tour. We accomplished so much in a day, but yet never felt rushed or that we had missed out on anything. Kwame was extremely professional in handling all the arrangements and assuring us that we were going to have a great time - and he didn’t disappoint 👍🏽 Our very knowledgeable tour guide Daniel was the BEST! He was very attentiive to our needs, always checking and making sure we had a clear understanding of how the past had impacted and influenced the Kumasi and Ghanian culture, and was a great negotiator bartering to make sure we got the best deals when shopping for souvenirs. This is a tour not to be missed.

Itinerary Changes and Car Trouble Impacted an Otherwise Promising Trip - 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.
