A memorable experience - I really enjoyed this activity. A long drive from Accra but Enoch and his driver made the experience a comfortable and safe one. This was my second tour with Enoch and he continued to be very attentive and accommodating. I'd definitely recommend him as a tourguide.

We did the Cape Coast Day... - We did the Cape Coast Day Tour with Boansi Travels. We had so much fun doing the Canopy Walk in Kakum National Park. Although the park provided a guide to the canopy, our Boansi guide, Enoch, knew the park well, so we were able to depart from the larger group when we wanted. Enoch did a great job of making sure we were comfortable during the canopy walk and helped us capture some great shots! The tours at both of the Elmina and Cape Coast castles also had site provided tour guides, but Enoch checked on us throughout both emotional experiences. Throughout our time with him, Enoch stopped to get us a couple local snacks from vendors— both were tasty! Thanks for a great trip!

Great day trip - I had a nice and informative day tour to Cape Coast, Elmina, and Kakum National Park with Boansi. His knowledge of the historical significance of Cape Coast and Elmina Castles, as well as the natural highlights of Kakum National Park, added great value to the experience. The tour was efficient, enjoyable, and good price.

Real Amazing day!! - This was a memorable day, I’m a solo traveler, I was very impressed with my guide Zaid who had mindful approach to my experience. As a female solo traveler I was the only person on this tour but I was made to feel comfortable and relaxed. Kankum was amazing and Zaid ensured i saw everything especially around the museum. he happily took my photos ( really nice ones :) so I have my memories.
When we reached the castles obviously wasn’t sure what I would have felt emotionally being there. However I was constantly reassured of his presence should I need any support. I gained so much knowledge from this tour and I’m grateful i came to Ghana . At the end of the tour I went for a beautiful meal to which finished my day in the best way possible. I would definitely recommend bonsai travel mainly for their attention to detail when it comes to the customer experience

A Journey Back In Time!!! - I was greated by Enoch and his team at my hotel. I was thankful for the pickup and realized I was the only client for the trip. I instantly felt comfortable even as a female Solo traveler. I enjoyed the experience as the lone client because it gave me a chance to ask as many questions about Ghana, Accra and surrounding areas as i wanted.
Enoch and his team were very knowledgeable about the history of Accra and every question was answered whether history based or opinion based. The drive to Cape Coast was one of excitement and adrenaline. I will say, your in for a long, bumpy ride, but well worth it. The roads could be better, but it didn't take away from the fact that I had great tour guides and driver. We got local snacks along the way as we were in traffic at times. And the boiled eggs and plantain chips were great. The Kakum Canopy Walk was amazing.
The Cape Coast and Elmina Castles were like any experience you will see. It can be quite emotional and indescribable. A must see and feel for yourself type of encounter. You should not come here and not do this trip. It will change your outlook and mindframe of what happen. No movie or show can provide this insight.
I highly recommend Enoch's company as I know you will be in good hands with your trip, taking you back in time. Thank you Enoch for a great first trip to Africa and a great adventure. Peace and Blessings brother.

Excellent Guide A++ - My family used Boansi Travels for our visit to Cape Coast. The owner Enoch was very attentive to all details and provided excellent service. Every aspect of our trip was handled perfectly. The ride from Accra to Cape Coast was very smooth, comfortable and air conditioned. It was especially sweet that extra care was taken with my elderly mother in law.
I would highly recommend this guide for all excursions. You will get professionalism and white glove treatment. A+++

Cape Coast Tour - We went on the Cape Coast tour today with our tour guide, Enoch. He arrived on time and was very polite, warm, and friendly. He was engaging and provided an insight on what to expect throughout the day. Kakum National Park is beautiful, but be prepared for a lot of steep walking. Elmina's Castle and Cape Coast Castle tours were extremely emotional, so bring tissues. All in all, it's an incredible destination and highly recommended.
