          Highlights in Abidjan á city to explore
          This walking tour was exactly what I was looking for in Abidjan. Josiane did a great job of ensuring I understood the information and in not giving too much information as to be overwhelmed. I am passionate about the history of architecture and she was able to explain the history of all of the buildings we saw. She went over and above in helping me choose Bagne and a tailor to sew some articles. We definitely went over the allocated two hours! Well worth it! Tanya

          NO HELP AVAILABLE
          I need to pay for one of my tours and I am unable to contact the carrier in any manner. Even the email contact will not work. this is very upsetting when traveling out-of-the-country and have no contact whatsoever for help! EVEN TO PAY.

          Not a culinary walk for foodies!
          Although the guide was nice enough, there was absolutely no food tasting like I expected, no discussion about African food in general, and the only thing, food wise, was a lunch at a restaurant, where we had fish, plantains, and water, and nothing else. Very disappointing. Certainly not worth $150.

          Abidjan walking tour
          Josiane was a very good tour guide. We were a bit skeptical based on the meeting place. But once Josiane showed up all was good. She was on time and gave us a good introduction on the tour. We saw some very interesting sites and learned a lot about the Abidjan and Cote d' Ivoire. At the end of the tour at the marketplace she was a good source of bargaining and stayed with us until our Yango came - Double thumbs up

          Great Tour With Josiane
          We had the best Tour of Abidjan with Josiane. She is a most friendly and accommodating Guide, who made our Tour of the City very relaxing and informative. She picked us up and dropped us off right at our Cruise Ship. Her passion and knowledge of the History and Culture of Abidjan and the Ivory Coast really made this Tour a great value. We highly recommend this Tour to anyone traveling to Abidjan.

          New Sights and very flexible
          The tour guide was knowledgeable and very flexible. There was a mix up in start time due to this site but she waited 3 hours to give me a tour of Abidjan. I had already spent a week in Abijan but had not seen the things she showed me. I would recommend it.

          HOW DO I GET MY MONEY BACK
          We booked this tour for August 20 for 3 people. I received a message from Josiane, saying that she couldn't do the tour that day, and she would be back in September, and also, the price would be double what we had already paid. We agreed, and a few days ago she asked if we could do the tour today. We said we would, and arranged to meet at 9 am. Also, she said that we had only paid for 2 people, and we agreed to pay the balance in cash, although later we checked and found we had paid for 3 people. At 8:43 she wrote that she was coming. At 8:59 I wrote that we were at the meeting point. At 9:04 she wrote that she was coming, and then at 9:11, that she would be there in 20 minutes. At 9:38, she wrote that she would be there in 10. We left at 9:35. She called at 9:46, to say she was coming. When I told her we had given up on her she asked if we would do it tomorrow or next week!!! I have better things to do than stand in a parking lot waiting for a tour guide who can't be bothered to show up on time. Also TRIP ADVISER - How do I get the $47.31 that I paid back? And you should know that this person is cheating you, if you're getting your well deserved commission out of a 15 dollar fare and then she raises the price like this. no photo, as there was no tour!

          Horrible and unprofessional - don’t book
          A terrible woman. Upon arrival she wanted to raise the price (despite booking online) and cancelled the tour multiple times before. When I wanted to speak to the chef, she told me it was not possible. I never got my money back either Do not book with her !! They are UNPROFESSIONAL & RUDE Une femme horrible. À l'arrivée, elle voulait augmenter le prix (malgré la réservation en ligne) et elle a annulé la tournée plusieurs fois. Quand j'ai voulu parler au chef, elle m'a dit que ce n'était pas possible. Je n'ai jamais récupéré mon argent non plus

          Catholic Monolith in the middle of West Africa!
          Whether we understand or how our Lady of Peace came to a land in the middle of French West Africa in a poor country, and situated in three hours away from the main city, it does in fact exist there and Catholics worldwide must make a stop to see it when they find themselves in this part of the world. A near exact replica of Saint Peters in Vatican Square, you marvel at the enormity of the structure compared to its surroundings and wonder how few people can possibly make it there to visit every year. But I’m pretty psyched that I made it on a day trip from Abidjan!

          Wonderful and informative tour!
          Wonderful walking tour in English in the business district of Abidjan! Josiane is an excellent tour guide. She was very accommodating and helpful even before the walking tour when we are scheduling and booking the tour. She came on time and we were able to visit many places during the walking tour. The tour was very informative. It is definitely an excellent way to get to know more of Abidjan! Highly recommended!

          Pleasant morning tour
          We had a lovely tour with Josiane: You really get so much more from a city tour when you visit with a local! We saw all the main sites and some interesting places that we may have missed if we were on our own.

          Informative & Friendly Guide- Great Activity!
          The tour was well organized - both the information and the route. We learned a lot and had fun chatting with the local guide. It was also great to walk and stretch your legs while admiring the architecture and monuments of this unique city that isn’t that easy to navigate as a tourist on your own. Thanks for a great morning!

          Underwelming and uninformative
          Not sure what the other reviews were about but the tour provided no real information about Abidjan or Cote d'Ivoire and we learned nothing about the places we came across other than they looked like a building in wakanda and a hotel in Miami. Josiane was punctual and accommodating but the tour was the least informative I have ever been on and I've traveled quite a bit. We were stopped extensively in shops she clearly had an agreement with and suggested to put us in touch with her friends when we asked about shops or things to see in Abidjan. For instance when asked about a regular boat tour on the lagune, she suggested we take a boat on our own with a friend of hers. We felt this was a good waste of our saturday morning and the USD 17 per person. If this was a free walking tour with pay as you feel kind of arrangement like in other countries where you pay based on how much you enjoyed the tour, we would have left after half an hour tops when the guide suggested that Abidjan was named during the times of General de Gaule and clearly mixed up her historic anecdotes. Anyway, Josiane was nice but needs to do way more work on her preps and actually offer value for money on her tour. I am sure Abidjan/Plateau area is much more interesting than that.

        *Likely to sell out: Based on Viator’s booking data and information from the provider from the past 30 days, it seems likely this experience will sell out through Viator, a Tripadvisor company.
