Great experience and even better customer service - This tour was great and the customer service was absolutely Phenomenal!!! We were driving all around the city and given the history of Accra. Our guide, Kofi was super friendly and allowed us to make adjustments to our itinerary as we saw fit. He even helped us negotiate at the market for the best price. A gentlemen named Kweku helped us confirm and organize our trip. He was also Amazing! We had left a souvenir in the car and he went out of his way to return it to us and wouldnt even accept a tip. I highly recommend this company and tour!

An amazing historical, cultural, and enjoyable tour of Accra!! - My family and I thoroughly enjoyed this highly recommended tour of Accra, the beautiful and vivacious capital city of Ghana! tThe tour is an all inclusive experience into the extremely important history and beginnings of Ghana with many significant stopping points. Isaac was an incredible guide whom ensured that myself and my family would have a complete understanding of the very significant history of Ghana. No trip to Ghana would be complete unless you embark on this very relevant tour!

Great tour - It was outstanding!!! Well worth the price. Our guide was well versed on areas around the city and it felt as if we experienced so much in such a short period of time. I would highly recommend this tour. I am a senior citizen and was experiencing Ghana with my 25 year old grandson. The tour captured the attention of both of us. Our guide acclimated the tour to both energy levels, and most importantly knew where all the washrooms were located. Don’t think twice - book this tour!!!!

Issac was very accommodating and full of knowledge.. and I asked him a million questions. My favorite part was seeing the Makola Market from above .. that was an amazing experience as well as the history. Thx you Isaac for your hospitality and sharing tour knowledge!

A perfect day - This was such a perfect experience. Organisation beforehand was seamless, I had already done some of the suggested activities so Kweku made me a fully customised itinerary based on my interests. He arrived on the day bright and early and full of infectious enthusiasm, and everything was just so smooth and wonderful. Kweku was very patient and always made sure I had everything I needed, and arranged some activities that I had wanted to do but can be complicated to organise. I also really loved talking to Kweku about his work and how he is so committed to supporting local communities. A beautiful day made better by Kweku's care and professionalism, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to everyone coming to Accra. If you're thinking about booking, don't hesitate, the experience won't disappoint.

Great way to experience Accra! - Our guide, Kweku, & our driver, Isaac, were wonderful! They were very knowledgeable and helpful. The full day tour brought us to the “must-see” attractions of Accra.
I recommend this experience if you are visiting Accra!

Amazing city tour of Accra - I had a great tour with Kweku. He was able to explain the history of the place well and we covered a lot of ground - from the freedom square and Street foods in Makola market to various museums.
I would highly recommend this tour to someone traveling solo in Ghana.
