Fantastic - I travelled with Blastours to Ghana, Togo and Benin in July 2023 and had a brilliant experience from beginning to end. I was travelling solo and my guide Patrick took fantastic care of me. He was a really skilled driver with an almost superhuman ability to avoid potholes! Helped me avoid the pitfalls at each border crossing. At each hotel, he checked carefully that everything was okay with my room. The local guides he worked with were all great. He went above and beyond and added little experiences to the trip, such as stopping to see rubber being tapped or buying street food, whenever there was an opportunity, which really enhanced what was already a great itinerary. He was also a great conversationist and incredibly knowledgeable. After the end of the trip, during the rest of my stay in Ghana, it became really clear just how much I had learnt about West Africa and its culture from him, and how much he had done in terms of making everything during my trip run smoothly. Things were not as smooth without him! Mimi was fantastic, especially in terms of her communication and responsiveness. She really took note of what I had asked to see and designed a perfect itinerary. She gave valuable and accurate information about the visas I needed and what was required. She was also really clear and transparent about how much extra money I would need to cover the cost of the meals etc. that were not included in the tour. Each of the hotels I stayed at were great in their own special ways. Nearly every one had a pool and the food in restaurants was excellent. It was great to have accommodation where I could get some proper rest and relaxation each evening after a long day's driving and sightseeing. When things didn't quite go to plan, both Patrick and Mimi were on it straight away and quickly came up with alternatives and solutions. I cannot recommend Blastours, Patrick and Mimi highly enough!

The most amazing experience! - My trip to Ghana, Togo and Benin with Blastours was nothing short of amazing!! ♥️🙏🏽 I am so grateful to the team that I worked with for their professionalism and kindness. From my initial contact with Mimi, I knew that I was in very good, capable hands. She answered every single question I had in a very timely manner and held my hand throughout the entire process! Preparing for a trip through 3 countries can be somewhat overwhelming but I always knew that I could ask anything of Mimi and she would come through! Once I arrived in Ghana, I was then paired with Patrick Bediako Mantey! I have no words to describe my experience. Patrick showed each and every day his passion for the job and his extensive knowledge of the cultures. He went above and beyond to accommodate anything that I wanted to do. I was also able to make many very important connections .. which will allow me to grow both personally and professionally. I am so very blessed to have had Patrick as a guide. I would recommend his services EVERY single time!!! I want to also thank Vivian for working behind the scenes to obtain the Togo visa for me. Her hard work allowed me to complete that process without any interruption to my journey. What an amazing team!! I have already recommended Blastours and Patrick to many of my friends! I am also planning a trip back for my travel group! If you are ever in need of good, quality services, you can never go wrong with Blastours. I wish you all many blessings! ♥️🙏🏽

Best customer service you could dream of! - I was travelling alone and it was my first time in Africa. It was very reassuring to visit through Blastours. Blastours is really RELIABLE and flexible. They are very honest, and answer very quickly to messages. Thanks to them, I saw a wide variety of local traditions and cultures, plus beautiful landscapes and animals. I booked a first private customized tour to visit Togo and Benin from Ghana with Blastours. It was surprisingly cheap considering it included everything and I had the guide for myself. Guide Selassie was very respectful and flexible. I enjoyed my experience so much that I booked another tour with Blastours to visit Ghana at the end of my stay. Again, I was not disappointed, and the guide Samuel was very friendly.
