My Ghana Experience - My tour with Foster was exceptional the entire trip was way more than I expected. Foster is always on schedule with the pick up time and arrangements made for the tour. Foster explains everything to you and answers any questions or concerns you might have and he always ensures you are comfortable hydrated and most importantly safe at all times. I will recommend Foster and the tour company to anyone traveling to Ghana and wishes to experience all the great history that Ghana has to offer. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

What a full on and great day out! - My husband and I did this tour as a day trip and had a fantastic time. Foster was truly amazing all through. He picked us up from our apartment in Accra around 5.45am as arranged. We first stopped at the reconciliation roundabout and then later on for breakfast. We got to Kakum national park in record time, toured the park and did the 7 canopy walks. It was simply breathtaking! Then we headed to Elmina Castle before doing Cape coast castle - both of which we really enjoyed, although I must say listening to the stories of the experiences of the slaves tugged at one's heart strings. Foster was amazing throughout as our driver and guide. He got us to the airport in Accra in record time (7pm) as we had to catch our flight by 10.30. My husband and I could not believe how much we managed to do and see in 1 day. Thanks so much Foster for such a lovely experience. If you are planning to go on this trip, Foster is your man!

Worth the Day trip! - Freedom was my driver and he was great. The communicated the night before on pick up time and location via WhatsApp. During the trip freedom told me fun facts about different areas such as which trees grew in which area. We picked up fresh pineapples on the way from the street; we made it to the forest in good timing. He help take pictures at all locations. It was a great experience. Quick fact: Get your coca bean IN the forest, because they don’t sell it anywhere else outside the area.

Birthday Private Tour - This was an awesome start to my Birthday before I went to the Slave Castles. My stomach was upset and my guide Foster Insisted I drink the Coconut water. He bought it for me and it was like an immediate healing. He took pics and video for me and was very informative on the the 2 1/2 drive there about the villages we were passing through. I was a female solo traveler and felt safe. He was professional and very accommodating. Everyone seemed to Know Foster and all kept complimenting how great of a person he is. I highly recommend the private tour with Foster and Kadelo Travels.

Great adventure on the Cape Coast with a brilliant guide - This was an amazing experience. We would recommend it to anyone. Our guide Foster was fantastic, very knowledgeable about the history of Ghana, customs and people. He really took care of us. The trip covered Cape Coast castle and a tree top walk. The Cape Coast castle had a great guide who carefully steered us through a difficult history. An important trip everyone should make. The park was fantastic- Foster took us to a great restaurant - best Ghanaian cuisine we’ve had so far!

At least once in a Lifetime - The experience starts off with an active hike through the Kakum national park. It's a very pleasant adrenaline inducing experience. Then it's gets massively better once you get to experience the Elmina castle and Cape coast castle. It's a very educational experience with the best tour guide you can ask for. Absolutely recommend.

Cape Cost Tour - Great Tour. The tour was a very eye opening experience. Foster was the perfect tour guide, I wouldn't have wanted to do it with anyone other them him. He was very welcoming, pleasant, accommodating, and we (three females) felt very safe and comfortable with him. He laughed with us, made us laughed, and went the extra mile to find my sister shoestrings for her sneakers because he left them behind. This tour is a must if you're in Accra, I recommend you request Foster, you will not be disappointed. Thanks again Foster, we will be recommending all our family and friends to you. He was also takes good pictures lol
