⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Incredible Experience with Citizen Tour - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Incredible Experience with Citizen Tour**
I had the absolute pleasure of touring with **Citizen Tour** in Accra, Ghana, and I cannot recommend them enough. Our guide **Joshua (also known as Yaw)** was phenomenal — knowledgeable, warm, and passionate about sharing the history and beauty of Ghana. Our driver, **Moses**, was equally amazing, ensuring we traveled safely and comfortably the entire day.
We journeyed from Accra to **Cape Coast**, starting with **Kakum National Park** for the thrilling **canopy rope bridge walk**. Initially, I was unsettled by the swinging of the bridge, but both Joshua and my uncle were incredibly supportive and patient, helping me make it through **all seven bridges** with confidence. The views from above the rainforest were breathtaking — a memory I’ll never forget.
Afterward, we enjoyed a delicious lunch at **Lemon Beach Resort**, the perfect spot to relax and recharge.
The most powerful part of the tour was visiting **Elmina Castle**. Walking through its corridors and hearing the stories about how the castle played a role in the **transatlantic slave trade** was heavy and emotional. As a Black woman in the diaspora, standing in a place where my ancestors were held captive against their will — and endured unimaginable atrocities — was deeply moving and humbling.
This experience was **rich in history, culture, and emotion**, and Citizen Tour made it all seamless and impactful. If you are visiting Ghana and want a tour company that treats you like family while providing an unforgettable, respectful, and well-organized experience, **look no further than Citizen Tour**.

Awesome tour equally awesome tour company - I can’t imagine doing this tour with a more awesome team. From the welcome message from Joseph all the way to a safe drop off and warm farewell. We visited Elmira castle which was eye opening, emotional and educational Kukum canopy walkway was an experience. Great views a bit of a hike so be sure to be comfortable. Moses was our driver and host. He was simply amazing. He made sure we were comfortable, answered all our questions giving great insight into Ghana as this was our first trip. Helped us navigate every aspect of the tour, introduced us to the cocoa fruit. He a wealth of knowledge and fun. I had the greatest birthday surprise following an authentic Ghanaian meal which we loved. I would choose this team again and again. Medasi Joseph and Moses.

Stellar experience at Kakum and Elmina! - Yaw and Kwame were amazing guides, and even greater company! This was one of the best experiences - from a timely pick up in the morning, to a smooth drive, and an exhilirating experience at the Kakum National Park Canopy Walk. The trip was planned with every detail taken care of to make it as comfortable and memorable for anyone going. Would highly recommend this to anyone!

Once In A Lifetime Experiences - Visiting Cape Coast/Elmina Slave Dungeon is a must see, more than a tour, an experience, when you visit Accra, Ghana. Citizen Tours, Kwame & Yaw were our private and exceptional guides. Even the drive to Elmina, was filled with historical facts and information about local sights. The Canopy Walkway Tour was beautiful and breathtaking, also a once in a life time experience. Yaw and Kwame of Citizen Tours, throughout the day were our hosts and we always felt safe and attended to. We highly recommend them for your trip too!

2nd trip in 6yrs - This was our second trip back in 6 years, and we’re not done yet! Citizen Tours company is by far the most efficient and accommodating tour company in Ghana. We enjoyed all the special attractions and attention to details even to those small things we missed. We are looking to return, prayerfully, next year and booking with Citizens Tours Company most definitely!
We’re coming BACK home!

Great Day Trip from Accra - I had a great day trip from Accra to Kakum National Park and Elmina Castle. Yaw from Citizen Tours was a great guide and safe driver on the road. The tour is recommended for those who want to combine the beauty of the country with the shocking history of slavery. Elmina Castle tells this history through its impressive dungeons and rooms. Many men and women were forcefully taken from Ghana to the New World. They are the ancestors of many who now live in the Americas and Europe. Elmina Castle is not be missed by their descendants and all others who want to know more of the history of the Dutch in Ghana.
