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!

Laongo is a huge ten-hectare open-air museum where artists from all corners of the world have amazingly transformed large blocks of granite (naturally laid on the ground for more than 3 billion years according to specialists) into more than 475 unique pieces of artwork. You will be amazed by the originality of the sculptures and the very interesting stories and descriptions about them and their creators. Invited sculptors create their works using granite from the site. Some works combine local granite and other materials such as metal. On this tour you will also learn a lot about Africa's (and other continents') culture and wisdom through the detailed comments and descriptions to be given to you by a passionate and experienced guide of the site. This tour will give you a unique experience and introduce you to different art styles.
- This tour will only focus on exploring the "Laongo" International site for granite sculptures because of its big size. - After meeting, we will travel for 45-60 minutes towards the site. Then, we will spend between 1. 30 hours and 2 hours exploring the mostly-liked sculptures of the site. - After that, I will drive you to a great local restaurant for lunch (optional) or right back to your hotel. Please contact me for any special requests or if you would like the option of a customized tour. I look forward to bringing you there!

- For this tour, we will be using a clean, modern, comfortable, and air-conditioned SUV (2008 Honda CR-V). - Travelers will have to walk once we get to the site for exploring the sculptures. Please contact me for larger groups as well.
