About This Tour
The basilica hosts thousands of visitors per year. There are four guides who speak English, including me. My colleagues and I want to use our language skills to maximize your 1.5 hours visit to this beautiful site and city. In addition to the basilica, view of the presidential palace, visit to the Felix Houphouet-Boigny Foundation for Peace, and Crocodile Lake, we can visit a cacao plantation (3 km from basilica), artisanal village (20 km from basilica), the golf course (1 km from basilica) or have lunch together.
Final price may vary. Check availability for exact pricing.

What's Included
Additional Information
Meeting Point
There is a little check-in booth at the entry gates of the basilica. I will meet you there, and we will walk together (10 feet) to the ticket office, restrooms, and gift shop. We will then start the tour of the basilica and its grounds.
Special Instructions
The TripAdvisor price is the price of the entry ticket to the Basilica. As a certified guide, I give the tours for free. I posted the listing so travelers know that English-speaking guides are available and can be reserved via TripAdvisor in advance. If you would like to do a custom tour of Yamoussoukro, the cacao plantation, the artisan market, we can set that up after you book the basilica tour.
