One trip off our bucket list - This tour was filled with a roller coaster of emotions. The joys of the canopy walk at Kakum National Park to the sorrow of seeing first hand the treacherous conditions that our ancestors faced at Cape Coast and Elmina castle. Our guide Makafui, had a relaxed and incredibly knowledgeable presence. She didn’t simply quote content from a script but instead gave us an insight to the history and political culture of Ghana. This definitely was worth every penny and we would highly recommend this day trip!.

Visit Cape Coast and Elmina to know why you must fight against injustice!! - It was a most delightful trip as we had a wonderful guide in Makafui and a very good driver in Ofuri (I hope I got the name right!!). Two guests from the UK joined the trip and made it more lively. Makafui is very knowledgeable and gave us an insightful commentary the whole way. She also made sure that we were well cared for. I loved the forest canopy walk and the age-old trees. The visit to Cape Coast and Elmina castles were very informative. The guide who showed us through the castle was clear and passionate about the fact that now we can go through the "door of no return" and come back through the "door of return" - symbolising our freedom. She also emphasised our individual responsibility to stand up against injustice. A trip to Ghana cannot be complete without a visit to these two castles and getting to grips with its history. I recommend this tour with Frank Foe wholeheartedly.

Amazing adventure & education - My family and I had an amazing day with Frank. The tour was carefully and thoughtfully curated starting at Kakum and ending at Cape Coast castle. Lunch was provided and frank handled everything. Frank is patient, kind, and very helpful. My family was truly grateful to have booked with him and has booked him again for an Accra city tour. He definitely made our first adventure in Accra a great experience. The guides at each location were passionate and knowledgeable. Clean and updated 12 passenger van, he showed up on time and waited patiently (my family were a few minutes late, and he was very helpful. Thank you so much Frank for a wonderful day.

Awesome day. - I would like to thank Foster for the amazing day. It was amazing how knowledgeable he was and how well he knew everyone wherever we went. In addition to picking me up from my apartment, they dropped me off as well. At any of the destinations, I did not have to wait long for a tour. All expenses were included in this tour, so I didn't have to worry about spending money. The places in Ghana were stunning and I enjoyed learning about them so much! There was a lot of traffic to and from Accra but that was out of their control. I had a very comfortable, air-conditioned transport and a safe driver. Don't be afraid to go solo like I did. It would be great to go in a group but do not be hesitant to do it on your own. There is no doubt that I would recommend others to use their services.

Exceptional tour hands down. I even booked a second tour with him the very next day. It was well worth it! - Mr. Frank exceeded our expectations for this tour. He is very knowledgeable, kind, and had us in great hands the entire day. His vehicle is comfortable and the a/c is nice and cold. I couldn’t ask for a nicer tour. Being an American, he pointed out parts of my ancestors’ history as well. He is relatable, prompt and serious about his business! He even made an adjustment in order to accommodate me! He was so great that we booked the Accra City Tour the next day with him as well.

Amazing tour of Kakum national party, Elmina castle and Cape Coast castle - This was a great mix of canopy walks and an emotionally impactful and insightful visit to Elmina Castle and Slave Dungeons and Cape Coast Castle and Dungeons. My guide Jefferson was knowledgeable and paid attention to details in addition to being a very safe driver. He was flexible and customized the tour based on my interests. Highly recommend

The transportation selected was not up to par. - The company transpiration was poor and created a bad experience. The first vehicle broke down and we had to be picked up by someone else to go part of the distance. The third car got us into an automobile accident. Thankfully no one was injured. We then had to be taken by taxi service to our destination. Finally a 4th car picked us up to take us to the remaining parts of the tour. The company needs to improve their transportation service of cars. Other than that the actual tour guide was nice and well informed but the main parts of the tour are conducted but guides who work for the individual stops on the tour.
