The best tour guide Ghana has to offer! - This review is long overdue because David is the best tour guide Ghana has to offer. He is personable, knowledgeable, and professional while providing a tailored travel experience in Accra, Kumasi, Cape Coast, Benin-Togo, etc. During my family vacation to Ghana, David guided us through local Accra city tours, excursions, and nightlife. We experienced Black Star Square, W.E.B DuBois memorial Center and Museum, Kwame Nkrumah Mausoleum, James Fort, Fisherman Village, Kakum Canopy Walkway, Asenema Waterfall, Aburi Botanical Gardens, the Chosen Children's Home orphanage tour, and more. In addition we went to many restaurants for local food, Buka Lounge, and Bloom Bar just to name a couple. My favorite part about Ghana is the breath taking ocean and beach vibe, I think about it often. David was very helpful with transportation arrangements, market bargaining, and suggestions. He also told us about free apps similar to Uber or Lyft for independent navigation around Accra. We stayed in beautiful resorts like Lemon Beach and Labadi, while also having nice budget friendly options. He is great at accommodating based on preference and budget. His positive attitude makes your travel experience enjoyable. I will definitely be back to Ghana and I highly recommend touring with David aka Mr.TourGuide. If you want to see more of David’s work, he can be found on instagram @mrtourguide or @roottoursghana, youtube @Mrtourguide1, and on trip advisor as Root Tours Ghana.

Choose Root Tours - I worked with Root Tours to plan my two itinerary for my first visit to Ghana. We traveled throughout Accra and took a road trip to Volta, Kumasi and Cape Coast. They took care of every detail including sites, meals, shopping and transportation. We even enjoyed nightlife. They recommended great accommodations and scheduled guides at each site. Sampson, my guide/driver, even served as my personal photographer making sure to capture every moment so I could fully enjoy each site. If you want to have a great time and make lasting memories, I highly recommend David and his team. Thank you Root Tours!!!!
