  Terrible service. This monument should be managed by qualified personnel who know how to value tourists. They do not have official rates. They charge you whatever price they want and you have to haggle with a person who claims to be the guide. They asked us for 5,000 for each person and there were 13 of us, sorry. A nonsense. This way they will not be able to attract tourists and will greatly harm their culture and their country. Let them set official and fixed rates That they put people with official guide titles Make the routes easy. A bad experience with the guide we had.

  I have come with 14 people. VIRTUALLY EVERYTHING IS CLOSED. They ask us for 5000 cfas (€8 per person to enter) I ask for the official rates and the accreditation of the supposed guides and they don't give them to me. The Ministry must come in and regularize this place or definitely no tourists will come. I feel disappointed and have a very bad taste in my mouth because these 'scams' are allowed in a UNESCO Monument

  Very much a shame that such an important historical site is poorly managed. No photos (unless you're willing to pay an unreasonable fee) inside the palace was a bit of an insult. Doors were often locked so our guide had to leave us for 5-10 minute periods to unlock doors. The stories told were really interesting so it is clear that this could be a really rewarding place to visit, but it's missing the mark.
