Highlights

Cape Coast Castle - The Cape Coast Castle is one of the largest castles still standing in Ghana today, built by European forces.

Worth it - Our guide Moses was friendly and fun. It is a good tour, where you get to see major spots in one long day tour from Accra but it's worth it. I was picked up on time, car was nice, had good working wifi. We were given water , snack and coffee in the morning which was a nice gesture.

Fantastic Day!!! - Emmanuel made this day worthwhile along with our skilled driver! Don't think about it, just book this tour! From our hotel pickup to the tours and back to our hotel, everything was well organized and efficient. The guides at the castles are very passionate about Our History and I appreciated them for it. Lunch was AMAZING at our lunch spot and I just can't get enough of the jollof rice 😊 Book this tour!!!

Would definitely recommend - What a brilliant day all together! Kwame was a courteous, helpful knowledgeable guide, the air con on the van was a blessing in the blistering heat and the sites gave us a true overview of the Cape Coast. Made us want to go back. Thank you so much to Kwame and Elvis (and the local tour guys) for making our day so interesting.

Amazing Experience - This tour was an amazing experience! However, be sure to wear your good walking/ hiking shoes and stay hydrated. Lol This was a long day, but well worth it. 🙏🏽 Our tour guide Elizabeth was patient, polite, very professional, and motivating at the same time. Loved her!! I would highly recommend this tour!

A great day on the Cape Coast - As others noted, it is a long and bumpy day. But the tour group (ours led by Lizzie) does it's best to make it a meaningful one. We were able to visit all the sights and I thought the amount of time at each was good. I will say that by the time we got to the final site - the cape coast castle - we were so tired I don't think we were able to appreciate it as much. But all three sites were great. Water and a small snack was provided. The fan was not luxury, but was comfortable enough and got the job done. The driver was very professional and made sure we got to each place as quickly as possible and as safe as possible. There were about 17 people on our trip and we didn't have to do much waiting around. The lunch was also very good. Overall, a very worthwhile tour.

Insightful and delightful tour!!!! - My tour was AMAZING. Would highly recommended anyone to do this tour. Big shout out to Elizabeth our tour guide who was really helpful, communicative and active in all aspect of the tour. The driver as well (whose name I forgot unfortunately) really skilled in driving especially on not so good roads. The national park, the nature walk, the elmina and cape coast castle as well as the delicious lunch by the beach were amazing. It must have been my lucky day because we had extremely knowledgeable and informative guides in at all areas of the tour. I walked away with so much new found knowledge and understanding of the continent and the history of the country. If you are a history lover like myself you will love this tour. Do not hesitate to reach out. Life changing experience for me for sure.

Good tour! - We had a great experience. Due to the major construction work on the main road from Accra to Cape Coast, the travel time took over an hour longer than planned, causing delays in the overall schedule. However, we understand that this was not the fault of the tour operator. Both the tour conductor and the driver worked diligently and sincerely to fulfill their responsibilities and ensure customer satisfaction. I believe this is a trustworthy tour company (especially the driver, who was highly skilled and drove safely). In Ghana and other West African countries, unexpected events can always occur due to infrastructure issues, particularly with roads. I recommend approaching tours with the understanding that travel cannot be conducted in the same way as in Europe or the United States.

A must do thing when in Ghana but experiences vary. - I rated this 3 stars because I went last year and absolutely loved it. My family attended this year and did not enjoy it. Portia was the tour guide for both but there were different tour guides at the attractions. I was very disheartened to hear of their experiences when they returned back. They wished that they had not gone on the tour. Perhaps many of their issues were because of the people who were picked up before them that were over an hour late. Overall, I would still recommend that people do this tour. I gave it 3 stars as an average from my 5-star experience last year and my family's 1-star experience this year. Below are similar experiences last year and this year: LONG BUMPY RIDE: Please note that it is a 3-4 hour BUMPY drive each direction (that was experienced by both myself last year and my family this year). Rushed tour guide at Elmina castle: Both myself and my family noted that the tour guide at Elmina castle spoke very quickly and rushed us along from each part of the tour. I know that this is not a viator issue, but I do want to note this. At Cape Coast, the tour guides were more descriptive and allowed time for people to fully view the various parts of the tour. Below are differences in tour: Additional stop: last year, we stopped at some type of botanical garden or place where we walked around and were able to feed crocodiles. My family did not do this stop and it is no longer listed on the booking page. Snacks and water: last year we stopped about 30-minutes into our journey and we were provided with water and snacks. My family did not receive any water or snacks until after they completed the got Kakum National Park hike. Perhaps this was due to them being over an hour behind schedule on behalf of other guests who were late for their pickup.

Horrible time - This was the worst tour I have taken with trip advisor. My tour guide Porscha did a terrible job and they make you go hours without food, snack, water or bathroom break. The pickup/drop off routine was poorly planned and the trip ended up being 18 hours for me and my family. I recommend just hiring a driver to take you to all of these places. The tour company provided nothing but transportation.
