Life Changing Tour with an Incredible Guide! - On a whim I booked a tour with Nana to see Elmina Castle, and he completely exceeded my expectations and made the visit the highlight of my trip to Ghana! I wish I could leave a 10 star rating, 5 stars don’t seem high enough!
As a Jamaican Canadian, visiting Elmina castle had been on my bucket list for years, the trip was extremely meaningful to me, and I don’t believe I could have chosen a better tour guide to do the trip with.
Nana picked me up from my hotel and we had great conversations the entire journey from Accra to Elmina Castle. He is a great guy, and made the long road trip feel short. I happened to be travelling to Elmina castle alone as a woman, and I felt very comfortable with Nana.
Once at Elmina Castle we connected with guides for a tour of the castle. I considered myself to be very educated on the transatlantic slave trade but still learned so many new things that I had no idea about while at the castle. Visiting Elmina castle is an absolute must in someone’s lifetime. Nana took lots of great photos and videos for me as well, for me to remember the experience by.
After the tour we stopped at a restaurant before doing a walking tour of Elmina and heading back to Accra. The food was incredible and I learned a lot during the walking tour as well!
If you are looking for the best tour guide in Accra, you have found your guy! I highly recommend this experience to all.
