Accra City Tour - The Accra City Tour with ProTour Africa was a perfect way for my partner and I to enjoy Accra city. Our favorite part of the city tour was the Art Market. I will still like to visit the craft market during my next visit. It was awesome! Thanks to my guide Zainab and the company ProTour Africa. We had a great experience.

Beautiful Country - I booked this tour after my visit to the Coast. The locals were very hospitable. I enjoyed Ghana Jollof better.
Ghana is a beautiful country, has good food and nice People. I love how the artifacts were displayed at the Ghana national museum.

Accra Tour - I did two tours with Pro Tour Africa and the Accra tour was included. This tour was focused on the political history of Ghana which is an interest of mine. My favourite site was the Kwame Nkrumah Museum. I had a great time in Ghana and this tour was a great way to conclude my stay in Ghana. I look forward to my next trip to Ghana.

Awesome tour guide - Brobbey was great!
He was very personable, knowledgable, gave a lot of insights on what it’s like living in Ghana. I would say that speaking to him to have an understanding of Ghana was as much of a highlight as all the sites we went to today!
Would definitely recommend!

A wonderful day... - We really enjoyed our time on our tour with Zainab. She was very accommodating and patient throughout the day. My mother needed extra assistance and Zainab was there to help with a warm, gentle heart. It was all that was needed, especially traveling with an elder. Thanks again ZAINAB! 👌🏾

A Day in Accra - This was a great tour with my Ghanaian family. We had a great tour and I was able to build up on the knowledge about the history of Ghana while visiting the Kwame Nkrumah Museum and the Independence Square. This is a great opportunity to learn more about Ghana and its people.

Excellent Tour Service - This was a great tour in Accra. We visited Dubois center, Black star square, Kwame Nkrumah mausoleum and the arts center. I got to buy a lot to Ghanian prints, beaded and slippers for my family and friends back home. Rashida really did well bargaining to get me the best prices for the things I got. We got some Banku and Tilapia at Chop shop in Osu when we were done. Overall it was a great day and Pro Tour Africa made it worth my time. Thank you for the great tour guys. :)

overall good experience - This was a good tour experience overall. My guide was Suwaibah. She coordinated my airport pickup, and accompanied me throughout the tour. Each stop was a good experience. The driver did a good job too. Only minor criticism is that Suwaibah was very soft spoken, which made it difficult to hear her at times. They dropped me off at my hotel afterwards, as promised.
