Takoradi Landausflug

Our tour guide Felix was an absolute treasure. He picked us up right by where our cruise was docked with a sign clearly saying my name on it and it was smooth sailing from the very beginning. Felix is incredibly passionate about history and loves Ghana deeply. My dad and I loved hearing him talk about the local history and we were more interested in the castles and local history than the wildlife and nature anyway, so instead of Kakum National Park, we went to both Cape Coast Castle and Elmina Castle. The stories here are incredibly important to tell and it was a truly humbling and chilling experience. The locals are kind and welcoming, and we also had a deliciously prepared lunch ready for us at Komodo full of local dishes. We were looking for an authentic peek into Takoradi life and culture and that is exactly what we got and more. Highly recommend this company and their team.

I cannot say enough things about our guide, Tony, and our driver, Michael. They were on-time and kept us on schedule. I truly appreciate the care and concern they displayed. We got lots of information about Ghana and felt well taken care of. Thank you both!

BlasTours provided one of many highlights of a recent round the world cruise, with 29 ports where I and friends (up to 46 of us) did tours with local operators. In each port I read scores of reviews, to find the best tour operator, and BlasTours is the one in Takoradi. Mimi runs the show, and she and her crew are exemplary. This year, Felix took nine of us to the canopy walkway of Kakum National Park, and he was marvelous, a guide on top of his game. He made the one-way, two plus hour drive, a pleasure and knew the answer to essentially all of our many questions. Thirty-seven other friends from the ship took their local Takoradi-Sekondi tour, which I had enjoyed with 25 folks last year. Again they had Patrick and Tony, and again there was copious praise for them both. Having now done both tours, I highly recommend each experience. Kakum is unique and well worth the travel time. The variety of sites on the local tour is great. But what stands out even more is the quality of BlasTours.
