Wonderful 8 day stay in Ghana - I would highly recommend booking this tour for your stay in Ghana. George Benson and Mr Richard were extremely knowledgeable, friendly, organized, and all around excellent tour guides and drivers. They made my stay in Ghana enjoyable, comfortable, and completely safe. They ensure that myself and my group had everything we needed and all of our concerns were met. During the stay we visited Accra, Kumasi, and Cape Coast. We saw many sights and historical locations. It was an amazing trip!

Highly Recommend - The tour was educational, enlightening, and fun. This was my first trip to the Continent, and the experience I had makes me want to visit more countries. Our guide, Joshua Kosi, was knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and warm. I highly recommend it.

Ghana 8 Day Tour - AMAZING! - We had an enlightening experience touring Ghana (Accra, Kumasi, Cape Coast) with guide Elvis and driver Mr Martins. Elvis is extremely knowledgeable about African culture, traditions and its rich history. Each day, Elvis provided the day’s agenda and a preview of the day’s site visits. Mr Martins is an excellent driver who provided nuggets of information while maneuvering efficiently through the traffic jams and occasional rough terrain. Their enthusiasm made our Ghana tour very educational, fun and relaxing. Throughout the tour, we felt very comfortable, safe and greatly appreciated all the accommodations they made to ensure we enjoyed Ghana to the fullest! ~P-Ed Thomas

Most amazing experiences - We thoroughly enjoyed our trip. Our guide, Elvis and driver, Joseph are so much more than business contacts, they treated us like family. Besides the normal tour things, they were able to answer all of our questions. We feel like we would not know Ghana the way we do now if it had not been for them. Words really can’t explain how comfortable and safe we felt with them every day. It truly feels like we came home and spent the time with our family.

Tour of Lasting Memories - I am a travel agent. I escorted a group of 41 on an 8-day, 7-night tour of Accra, Kumasi, and Cape Coast, October 7 -14. The booking process with Ms. Tina Ross was stress-free and professionally executed. On arrival in Accra, the agents welcomed us with warmth and made us feel like family from the start. Throughout the tour, all members of the team - driver, guide and assistants - showed care and concern for our pleasure and safety. Joshua and George, our guides did a phenomenal job in keeping us entertained. They displayed respect, love and brotherliness to everyone. His teammates were just as caring and kind to us. We were especially blessed by each team member taking turns to start the day with a prayer. This was the first time I have had this rich experience in my 20-plus years of escorting groups. The knowledge we gained from viewing the sites and the narratives given left a profound impression on us. We saw a country whose people continue to rise up from the ashes of a sordid past to regain the dignity that belongs to all humans. Continent Tours gave us a tour that exceeded our expectations. The accommodations were among the best that each city has to offer. Breakfast and dinner at the hotels were satisfying. Dinners at restaurants outside the hotels lacked variety, but members of the group did not complain. In essence, the few negative points did not affect the enjoyment and satisfaction of our tour. The arrangement of the itinerary worked flawlessly. It was very clear that much work was done to ensure a smooth transition from one activity to another. We applaud Continent Tours for giving us a tour filled with lasting memories of their beautiful country. A second visit is already being planned and I will request the same team to serve us. Thank you, Continent Tours, and may God continue to guide you in all you do.

Trip of a life time. An experience I will never forget. Precious memories were made in Ghana . Forever grateful - Special thanks to Joshua for sharing the history of Ghana with us. He did an excellent job. He has great passion in his heart for Ghana, and he shared that with us. His team put together a great trip for us. So many parts of this trip touched our hearts, hearing about where your ancestors came from and then actually being in the place where they were captured was an experience I’ll never forget. Love visiting the beads shop. Great trip

Memorable, Emotional, Educational - Touring Accra, Kumasi, and Cape Coast, Ghana, compliments of Continent Tours with our efficient guides, was an eye opening and a memorable experience. Our guides especially Joshua, shared his extensive knowledge and passion for his country’s historic sites, its people, and its culture. Our queries were answered freely and politely. Spending time where our ancestors came from and learning what they endured was educational as well as emotional. Ampomah our bus driver was excellent at navigating the winding roads. This trip will have a lasting impression in my memory.
