Avoid this company - Does not deliver! - Air-conditioned vehicle? - A friendly taxi driver (Not air conditioned) WiFi on board? - Where? Snacks? - We had refreshing coconut water, straight from the coconut with a straw. Bottled water? - Not offered. This was an experience that was far from amazing. Meant to be 3 hours, lasted around 20 minutes, then guide gave excuses that they had to travel to Cape Coast to visit family, as their mother passed away. Also, because of a special festival, drums could not by played during that time of the month. 9So why take customers money, if this there was a special festival?) I was scammed in broad daylight. Paid £80 per person - Not worth £10 per person. AVOID this company!

Significantly Overpriced - I booked this experience for my parents anniversary. Kwame was in contact with me immediately and he was helpful throughout. Alex was our tour guide for the experience. He was friendly and polite. I was really disappointed that due to there being a festival in Accra, no noise could be made, so we didn’t play the drums for very long at all. We spend more time shopping in the Arts Centre than drumming. I wish that this was communicated before, so that I had the opportunity to cancel before hand. A drumming experience should not be accessible during this time, but only until the festival is over. The teacher was very informative, however the session was not even an hour. Honestly, this experience is significantly overpriced, so £70 is way too much for this experience. I would only pay the equivalent of £20 / GHA 300 cidis maximum. If you are interested in drumming, just go to the arts centre and walk into a shop with drums and ask them there. The following day, I went chocolate tasting at 57Chocolate and it was phenomenal. The price was 570 cidis, and I would have paid more. My main concern was that my expectations were not managed with regards to the drumming experience, so I wouldn’t recommend this experience.
