One of our best shore excursions!! - 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!

Kakum National Park Tour & Takoradi-Sekondi Local Tour - done by the best - 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.

Amazing tour - Very good excursion inspite of booking error, we booked another excursion and ended up on this excursion. The company graciously offered to make amends and refunded the difference in price at our return to ship. Our driver Joseph and guide Justice were excellent. Waiting for us at port and nice suv. The drive to the castles is over 90 Minutes and traffic is heavy with two lane roads with many large trucks and tractor trailers. The castles are very interesting with the dark side of slave trading a somber moment . Justice gave a thorough tour explaining history and the events.Lunch was at a local restaurant that was fabulous, another couple ate with us who were on the same tour in a different vehicle, they gave us each a variety of food that could have fed a family of 6! Got us back to the ship on time .

Great tour, fantastic tour guide! - We really loved this tour of Ghana and our guide, Patrick was excellent. We enjoyed seeing the more rural villages on our way to the canopy and Patrick was very knowledgeable on the culture and history of his country. The canopy was fantastic, and afterwards, we went to Cape Coast Castle. This experience was deeply impactful and one that I still think about and will never forget. Thank you Patrick for a wonderful and memorable tour, we hope to come back!

Blastours is FANTASTIC! - Great shore excursion! We were picked up promptly and Cleve was our guide. Very nice A/C conditioned van with WiFi. Our group of 8 decided we would like to see the UNESCO World Heritage sites vs the swinging bridge and Cleve made it happen. What an AWESOME day learning about Ghana. Cleve was super-knowledgeable and gave us in-depth insights on the history, people and daily life here. The provided lunch was excellent!

Mimi and Blastours is the best - Mimi helped me organize a tour of Takoradi for 25 of us coming from the Zuiderdam, and she is excellent. All the glowing reviews I read on the Internet are accurate as she and Blastours are quality from start to finish. Patrick was our guide on one van, and Tony on the other. Both were also excellent. Six fantastic stops. Especially good was seeing wooden boat building.

Takoradi Shore Excursion - We booked this tour on a recommendation from a previous cruise. This was the easiest company to deal with. Mimi answered emails very quickly and they were punctual, professional and presented their country in a good light. We had Felix for our guide. He actually wrote a book which is sold at one of his sights. The tour was one of the best of our trip. The lunch was very good and everyone on this tour was more than satisfied. They did not request payment until we were on tour. I wish they had other tours in the ports we travelled to. Great company.

Great day from ship in Takoradi - We used Michael from Blas Tours for a one day shore private excursion from our cruise ship in Takoradi. He drove from Accra the night before and so was waiting for us shipside when we were able to disembark an hour late. He drove us in a very reasonable car to Kakum National Park first, and waited one hour plus while a park guide took us on the 7 segment canopy tour. After Kakum, we went to Cape Coast castle and had a very interesting castle tour guide take us on a 45 minute tour of the former slave shipping point. We then made a brief stop, and drove by Elmira Castle. We then determined that to get back to the ship timely, it was going to be a significant challenge, as it was going to be about 2 hours of driving in traffic. Michael did a great job under difficult conditions and we thoroughly enjoyed his expertise and driving. Also a 'shout-out' should go to Mimi who coordinated our booking. Everything was very easy and professional.

Highly recommend - I have nothing but positive things to say about Blastours. We arrived Takoradi on the Azamara Journey on Dec 10,2022. My group of 11 did the Takoradi – Central Region History tour. I had arranged this itinerary with Mimi a few months before our ship docked at Takoradi. Mimi was a delight to deal with. My experience in dealing with her has been very positive. Emails were promptly replied to in a timely and professional manner. We had Felix as our guide. He was right at the gangway to greet us. He was very informative, knowledgeable, competent, and responsive to our needs. Everything was conducted professionally and delivered as promised, including the vehicle used. We were all taken by surprise at how sumptuous our lunch was. One of the very best tours in my recent memory (I’d been to 150+ countries according to CTC (Century Travellers Club) definition). Highly recommended.

Impressed with the knowledgeable guide - Although not the fault of Blast Tours, Ghana officials caused a 2-hour delay in allowing passengers to disembark. This affected our tour as it was supposed to start at 0800 hours but we could not leave the ship until after 1000 hours. Excursion included an interesting and sobering tour of the prison where slaves were held before being shipped to the colonies or England
