From America, to Ghana, and back. A trip for the memory books and a soul stirring experience. - Benjamin and his driver were knowledgeable and gave us personal access into W.E.B. Dubois house and spots of interest. He toured us through the various hot attractions throughout Accra and explained in detail not only the attraction but also the meaning behind and the culture associated with what we were looking at. Benjamin also took us to Jamestown which, to me, gave the most immersive experience outside of the tourist hot spots. He had another guide meet with us and walked us around giving a chance to shake hands and meet the people where they are.
Benjamin was very patient in not only answering our questions but also allowing us to spend time at various locations to soak in the moments. He even assisted us with a little street bargaining for souvenirs and things that would help make our trip memorable. Additionally, he went above and beyond by having a personal seamstress for my wife and tailor for me make us traditional Ghana attire. He continued the service by having both delivered to our hotel personally. Outstanding! Overall, I would definitely recommend Benjamin Tours to clearly define what to expect and where to go throughout the city of Accra, Ghana.

Fun and informative tour! - My friend and I went to Accra for first time for business; Benjamin’s tour provided us with a fun, informative, and comprehensive overview of the city! We saw a great deal, took a lot of photos, and learned a lot from Benjamin about not only Accra but the history of Ghana and its culture. He also provided helpful restaurant recommendations and pointed out other things to do in the city. Thank you!

Fantastic Accra tour with knowledgeable Emmanuel. Safe solo travel, great photos! - I recently took the Accra City Tour, and it was fantastic! Emmanuel, my tour guide, was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and absolutely hilarious. His insights into the city's history and culture were fascinating, and he made the tour both educational and fun.
As a solo traveller, Emmanuel made me feel extremely safe and secure throughout the tour. His skills as a photographer were an added bonus; he captured stunning photos of me at various landmarks, giving me beautiful memories to take home. If you're looking to explore Accra, I highly recommend this tour. Thank you, Emmanuel, for making the experience so special!

Great way to learn about Ghana’s history - My mom and I took this tour with Ben. It was a great way to experience and learn some of Ghana’s history. Ben was patient and expert at maneuvering through crowds as well as at each place we stopped. There was a driver with Ben so Ben could focus on the tour while the driver focused on the roads.
