Go on a Makola Market Tour - Ben was so good at explaining things at the market. He took us to areas we were unaware of and he was very patient making sure we saw what we wanted. The market can be very overwhelming and Ben made it doable.

Makola Market - Prince, was an AMAZING tour guide! I really enjoyed the tour. He was very knowledgeable and knew the layout of the market very well (it felt like we were navigating a huge human maze) and he helped me find and bargain for the things I wanted. I had a wonderful experience and will definitely book again. THANK YOU!

Highly recommended! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - This was definitely a highlight of my trip to Accra. I loved how throughly the tour guide, Prince, answered all of my questions and pointed out things that he thought would be of particular interest to me personally. He checked in both at the start of the tour and regularly throughout to make sure we were traveling at a speed and distance that was comfortable for me. If I’d visited Makola Market without a local, I’m sure I would’ve felt overwhelmed by the traffic and crowds and would have worried about getting lost. Instead, with Prince, it felt comfortable and easy to experience so much more than I’d have ever done without him. He was very warm, professional, and profoundly knowledgeable and the tour itself was a feast for the eyes, ears, and taste buds. I will never forget this experience and would recommend it to anyone.

The Sounds, The Smell and The Sight - Makola Market tour is an experience you can’t miss out on during your visit to Accra. Take that walking tour and enjoy the sound, the sight and smell of Makola Market.

Best cultural experience in Accra! - I booked late the evening before the tour, and they accommodated the start time I asked for. I met up with Obeng (no hotel pickup, but easy enough), and he guided me through the markets, which are truly hustling and bustling. I wouldn't have been comfortable trying to navigate the markets and traffic (people & cars) without Obeng, and obviously wouldn't have learned anything about the history and culture of the markets. He helped me find the items I was interested in and to negotiate with the vendors. I'm not entirely sure how good a deal I got, but it helped reduce the stress nonetheless. He also took me to a seamstress to get some prints I got sewn, and then brought me back to the market for an item I'd forgotten about. In all, he spent about double the time with me as the initial tour length estimate he gave me.
