Let Kwame Tours Take You on a Visit of a Lifetime - Our visit to Cape Coast, Elmina Castle, and Kakum National Park in Ghana was truly an amazing experience. It was a trip of a lifetime filled with a range of emotions! Thank you so much, Kwame Tours! An added bonus: our private driver and tour guide, Dee_boy, an aspiring vocal artists, was personable, charming, and a incredible safe driver!

Wow!!! - Be prepared for a tour that will change your life! Thank you to James who was an amazing tour guide! We got picked up at 6am and began a 2.5-3 hr drive to start the tour at Kakum National Park (be sure to grab a bite to eat there if possible to holiday rice and chicken kabobs are fire!!) After completing the canopy tour (there are 7 bridges and a lot of uphill walking so be prepared) we headed to Cape Coast. I won’t spoil it all but you absolutely come out with a heavy heart! Take advantage of the gift shop there. The prices are great for a tourist attraction! Also the locals will swarm you at each stop to things. Be persistent in your “no” and keep it pushing if you don’t want anything. Cape Coast and Elmina are pretty much similar castles and have the same story just controlled by different people. Still worth seeing! Be ready for a rough ride there as well as many of the roadways outside of Accra are not fully developed etc. Bring a few snacks or drinks and something to stay entertained for the ride there because it’s a long one. Finally I have to add that James captured every moment for us on his camera and we have TONS of pics and videos of the day!

Castle and Canopy Walk - This trip was much needed. It allowed us to view other parts of Ghana outside of Accra. Our guide James was great. He knew the history past what is in the history and guide books. We appreciated lunch after visiting both sites. Be prepared for a lot of walking in the rainforest and in the castles. Out pickup was easy as well. James picked us up at our hotel and we immediately hit the road. I’d definitely recommend this to anyone visiting Ghana.

Highly recommended - We had an amazing trip to Elmina and Cape Coast castles. The visit to the Canpy was difficult. It was crowded and too hot waiting for hours. Our guides were very conscious of the time and encouraged us to leave the canopy to give us enough till to experience to castle tours. Overall, it was excellent. The guides were very pleasant, helpful, and patient with all of us.
