Okey E. ★★★★★ : I had such a fantastic time exploring this museum! It beautifully showcases the vibrant and rich heritage of Kano's ancient city, giving a real sense of its history before colonization. A truly insightful experience!
Asebhor E. ★★★★★ : Aminu the tour guide is wonderful but need to work on power supply as some areas are dark when the power supply is cut. Overall not a bad experience

sani I. ★★★★★ : Because it has tourism attraction and it's historic background, also that's where I was born. I'm proud of my land as a son of the soil.
Uba A. ★★★★★ : The place Kofar Dan'agundi is among the most famous ancient doors and walls of Kano State, which served like a fence for security purposes during the back century. The Wall wasn't made up with concrete, blocks, cement and other related modern construction materials. The ponds were already occurred and still there due to the used of soil place for it's construction. The place were reconstructed time to time. There is a basic (Primary) school and Junior Secondary School named after the door (Kofar Dan'agundi). There's so many amazing, history, and exciting thing u will not realize it until you visit.
