An unforgettable experience that will last us a lifetime! - If you're on the fence about booking a tour or trip with Nana, don't think about it; DO IT. He's incredible. The first thing is that he really gets to know you (yes even via text message). He really does a fantastic job in the early planning stages, and what's so nice about working with him versus other companies is how flexible he and his team are. They asked about our preferred budget for accommodation, food, and among other questions that are really important when it comes to traveling. Then, he crafted the experience. Originally I had reached out to him for a tour of Accra, but what he offered us was so incredible! He let us know about a festival happening in Elmina, his home, and it really fit the vibes we were looking for our experience with Nana. He quickly re-arranged the trip, coordinated all details and even changed a few things here and there last night due to my friend's delayed flight. He was on it at every point of the planning process, and we haven't even gotten to the good part yet! Nana picked us up and was incredibly professional yet SO FUN. We had such good conversations with him about travel, life in Ghana and life in general. He provides so much more than a tour or a surface level trip. It is a life experience, which is so much better and so refreshing to find nowadays. We experienced the Bakatue Festival and not only experienced the rich culture of the traditions and the people, but we also experienced the nightlife culture and had an incredible time going out and exploring Elmina with Nana and other members of his team. For someone who considers herself a traveler, and has backpacked and gone many places: I don't think it gets better than Nana. In the end, Nana became our friend, and traveling companion - leading us to experienced some unforgettable memories that we will be forever thankful for. Like I said in the beginning: if you are here reading this review, don't think and just book! His experiences and companionship while you travel Ghana are absolutely more than worth it. Thank you SO much Nana!!! <3

I’ll definitely be back and tour with this company again. - My tour guide NaNa was absolutely fantastic. He was very knowledgeable about the area and it’s history. He was also very personable and fun to be with the entire day. We had so much together learning, and embracing ourselves in the culture that at the end of the day it was hard to say good. We created memories and established a friendship that will last a long time.

The best trip I ever had - First and foremost Nana, was very kind, respectful and very funny. He always made sure we were always comfortable and always told us what was going to happen, we had an itinerary and we followed it but he was also able to add extra activities. He has extensive knowledge and background of Ghana, especially the Western region, which makes him the perfect tour guide. Malik was our driver, he was also fantastic. He drove us comfortably and very safely to all of our destination. He's also a great chef and he tells the best jokes. I'm planning to visit Ghana very soon, and I can't think of exploring Ghana without Nana and Malik. They are two great guys and the perfect duo! Well done guys 👏🏾

Elite Family private Tour - Was recommended this tour by a friend who gave rave reviews. Looking for something that would be inclusive of our 2yr old had us skeptical. But Nana made me feel at ease from first communication. Tour was tailored to our needs, his knowledge, experience and passion was top level and you can see he is well loved within the community. A MUST on the to do list when you visit Ghana! Professional, polite and he leaves you inspired to learn more of your history. Many thanks Nana!
