Hello wonder-hunters and welcome to Burkina Faso! My name is Mathias and one of my most important goals in life is to make you share my love and passion for the amazing wonders hidden in Burkina Faso. Over the past seven years, I have been fortunate enough to dive deep into the exploration of the unique landscapes, breathtaking nature, authentic culture, and inspiring history of the "Land of Upright Men". This opportunity was given to me through my work as a French teacher with dozens of short-termers and visitors from all the corners of the world, many of which happened to use me as a guide for visiting the country. I since then fell in love with all the incredible places around the capital city of Ouagadougou and now have a strong experience introducing them to travelers. I currently work part-time as an Independent language trainer and a freelance translator and my very strong proficiency in English will spice up your experience as a tourist visiting Burkina Faso. On a personal level, I love learning new things and traveling and I have had a chance to visit places like Phoenix and Flagstaff (Arizona), Washington D. C, New York, Indianapolis, Pennsylvania, and Charlotte in the United States and recently, Shenzhen in China. I see my work as a guide as an effective way of traveling the world and making new friends without even leaving Burkina Faso, although places like Australia, Canada, and Brazil are still the top-three on my bucket list. I now have a very profound awareness of the culture, dos, and don'ts of many parts of the world and this makes communication smooth and easy, allowing my clients to fully enjoy their experience visiting Burkina Faso. From exotic places to handicraft markets to wildlife reserves and to places that are even lesser-known by locals, I will make you live a one-in-a-lifetime experience exploring the heart of Burkina Faso. All my tours are exclusive and private with an air-conditioned SUV vehicle and apart from offering you a first-class service and an immersive experience in the country, I also take all possible measures to ensure your safety and wellness. Finally, I offer options for customized tours in case you have specific expectations, need a larger vehicle, or have a place in mind that is not featured on my tour listings. Please feel free to contact me at any time prior to your trip and I would be glad to set up a very unique experience for you in Burkina Faso. I look forward to making your dreams come true!

    Best Tour Guide! Mathias was so friendly and knowledgable. He knew everything about Ouagadougou and was excited to share with me. He made me feel so comfortable and made sure I was happy.

    Mathias was great. Unfortunately my flight was severely delayed so we only had an hour for the tour. I must commend Marthaia that he went out of his way to show me as much as possible within the short time we had. Highly recommended

    Hello Brett, Thank you so much for your kind words. Yes, it was very unfortunate that we started the tour five to six hours after the planned starting time. I wish I could show you more places! Thank you so much for your kindness and consideration. I would be honored to bring you to the exciting places I told you about, the next time you visit Burkina Faso. All the...
