Highlights
  • Cape Coast Castle Experiences - Along the pilgrimage, our accredited guide will give you exposure to diverse and vibrant cultures in Ghana. Inside the castle, visitors will walk through the corridors and chambers where enslaved Africans were once held captive in deplorable conditions before being transported to the Americas. The dungeons are particularly haunting, providing a poignant glimpse into the unimaginable suffering endured by those who were forcibly separated from their families and homelands.

Visitors will also see the Door of No Return, a symbolic exit through which enslaved Africans departed the castle, marking the end of their freedom.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED - Vince was one the best tour guides I’ve ever experienced in comparison to tour guides from all over the world. The thing that most set Vince apart is that he is thoughtful and caring. He cares about his business and he also cares about you as a person. He’s not afraid to get to know you and cater to your interests. He’s also a fun guy but is genuine and does not try to be somebody he is not. I would highly recommend Vince to anyone and I’m extremely glad that he was my tour guide!

Family dream vacations - Last July my family and I were so lucky to have Vince as our guide for two days. I respect him because his is dedications and passion in doing something he love. My family had a great time going to cape coast castle the canopy walk while we were there it was raining my daughter was not wearing the right shoes for the weather and it was very wet and dangerously muddy Vince’s protective nature helped her down and cleaned her feet with a jar of water. As a father I will recommend Vince and give a five stars to his service.
