    The richness of the history of the Asante kingdom and British is well presented. However they could add a video of to the tour. Especially for children so that they don’t get bored.

    We had a great experience! Our tour guide, Comfort, was so kind and extremely knowledgeable of the country’s history. I’m so impressed that she had so much information memorized! I really enjoyed chatting with her and she was able to provide a lot of insight into each exhibit. You have the option of doing a complete guided tour (which took about 45 minutes-1 hour in total) or doing a self-guided tour, which some people in our group opted to do. There is no pressure to remain with the tour guide or follow the guided tour, which was nice. All of the employees, especially Comfort, were friendly, knowledgeable, and eager to help. Definitely a must-see for history enthusiasts!

    Situated right in the heart of Kumasi, this museum is a must see for people interested in the military history of Ghana. I’m this museum you will find weapons used in the world wars, medals, flags and many others related to the military. You may be required to pay an additional 5 Ghana Cedis to take photos with your phone.

    This is a great place to visit. It's full of history, the guide was incredibly knowledgeable about each part of the fort. Most artifacts you can touch. Old guns and many pictures of past and present C + Cs which is interesting. Old prisons and hidden gold! Enjoy your visit.
