Great day in Accra! - We had a great day with our guide, Joe. We visited important sites in the city and Joe patiently answered all our questions. It was great to learn more about Ghana and Accra, and Joe took us to a delicious local restaurant for dinner afterwards. I would highly recommend this tour company.

Very good tour -- well taken care of - Moses was an excellent tour guide. Patient, insightful, witty, engaging, and very willing to go above and beyond to help us navigate traffic delays, find a good luncheon spot, and deliver us to the most essential cultural sites in enough time for us to really learn. He spent even more time with us than scheduled, and ensured that all in our party were safe at all times.

Very nice experience, I recommend - Georges the driver was great, he took me to visit all the sites of interest (the guided tour of the national museum is great) helped me negotiate at the market, had a very nice knowledge of the city and the country. Very attentive, attentive, very good conversation, it was by far my best experience in Accra!

Andy was excellent tour guide - This tour was great. It was just my mom, the tour guide Andy and me. He took us to several museums including the W.E.B DuBois Center. I learned a lot about Ghana during this tour. The tour guide was helpful and accommodating. I highly recommend this to anybody curious about Accra. You will learn a lot!

A nice way to see a snapshot of a cross - This was a really good way to see a bit of Accra in a short period of time. I will say it was not really a tour and that the person who picked me up drove me from one place to the next but he did not really tell me anything about where I was going. But most of the destinations had Tour Guide‘s available. But I did not get much information from the person driving me. It was also a very hot day so I opted out of the market, but we drove through it.
