Grand Bassam City Tour & Workshop

Posted By : tikicici2
the tour guide drove from Abidjan to Bassam. it was friday before 3p and the people started to get ready (really ready) for the festival that starts at 6p. the monuments need a bit of TLC, but the history is overwhelming.

Christiane and Aline were wonderful tour guides who answered all my questions and gave me a real insight into Ivoirian life. I went on the Grand Bassam tour including a batik workshop which was interesting and accessible. We visited many different artisans and were given the chance to speak with them, take photos and buy souvenirs when we wanted. The tour felt personalised and safe. It is important to note that the tour takes place in French.

I had a great day in the city. The tour guide Dorine was super nice. She was very friendly and knowledgeable. I only speak English. This tour was in French, but I still took it. Dorine was so accommodating. She tried her best to explain me everything by using translating app on her phone. I didn’t feel that I missed anything. I still understood everything in English. It was a great day and tour. Insta deepaktraveler

This was a lovely and informative tour. Our tour guide (Aichatou) was friendly and knowledgeable and tried to conduct the tour in English to accommodate me. It was hot - take a hat and water.

We participated in a tour of Grand Bassam with airport pick up and drop off. It was spectacular! Our guide, Aichatou, was very gracious and knowledgeable. We highly recommend this experience for anyone traveling to Cote D’Ivoire. Also, just to comment on the security situation, we felt very comfortable and feel that this is a great activity for all ages! Highly recommended!!

Grand Bassam captures you with its particular charm of abandoned houses but that makes it a magical place. Celine was my guide and took me to the most emblematic places in the French Quarter and we ended the tour in a chocolate factory where we were shown the whole process of making Ivorian chocolate. I loved doing this tour with T&T because I know that my money goes directly to the tour guide and the community, contributing to the local economy. So while I get to know a new place, I contribute to a good cause.

My visit to Grand Bassam was great. Thanks to Aniza, the tour guide, she is very nice and cute. She knows all the history of the town. It is a worthed tour to understand the colonization of Ivory Coast. There are nice places for lunch and there is a nice artisanal market where you can get all your souvenirs for a very good price. Finally, you learn about pottery and try to make your own... Good luck with that! Highly recommended !

Visite de la chocolaterie positive Tout le reste est négatif : Très peu d’infos sur l’histoire d’Abassam et le colonialisme. Extrêmement décevant. La visite s’est bornée à faire le tour des artisans. Nous n’avons vu aucun des bâtiments historiques d’Abassam. Prix excessif au vue de cette prestation.

J'ai adoré! Grand bassam est magnifique. J'ai été impressionnée par l'architecture de la ville, la nature (entre la plage, les arbres, la lagune ..), les monuments, et la gentillesse ainsi que le professionnalisme de la guide. J'ai eu l'opportunité de faire de la poterie pour la première fois de ma vie. l'experience était très intéressante!
