10/10 experience, highly recommended - My tour guide Frank provided an excellent introduction to the country of Ghana, its history, and its people. A variety of sites were visited across Accra, and specialists at each cultural site provided further information and education. It was a great privilege to see the city with Frank and I would highly recommend his tour.

Highly recommend - Our guide’s name was Foster. He really was so willing to arrange the tour around what were “must sees” for us.
Is was a perfect combination of the historical highlights of Ghana from ancient times to the present and just fun sites like going to see the coffin makers. Definitely recommend. A informative and fun day. Thank you Frank and Foster!

Nice tour to get to know Accras - It was my first day in Ghana and the tour was the perfect start. I was picked up at the hotel and the first stops were marked by getting to know and introducing myself to the history of Ghana. After a short scholarship visit to Jamestown, he finally went to the big market in Accra.
All in all, the tour was a round thing that I can only recommend.

The time of our lives - Where do I start. My group of seven visited Ghana in December 2023. I contacted Frank a few months prior to ask about creating a custom itinerary. Frank was super responsive during the planning phase. He even responded to questions while planning his wedding, which I didn't know.
Frank arranged several events: our batik making experience, museum tours, national parks, markets, restaurants, Cape Coast castle tours, city landmarks, transportation to and from the airport, afrochella, parties, etc.
The 13 passenger van, was clean, modern, and the AC was always on. Praise God, because it was HOT in Ghana.
Frank and our driver, Eben, were professional, kind, very flexible, answered all our random questions, and were ALWAYS on time, which I appreciated. He knew when we should arrive at a location to avoid the crowds, which allowed us to get uninterrupted tours and photos.
If you are looking for an amazing tour guide in Ghana, who always greet you with a smile, I would highly recommend Frank and our driver Eben.

Introduction to Accra - Frank was our guide for the Accra City tour and he is excellent, very knowledgeable, personable and patient. This was our first tour in Ghana. He made sure each participant had time to move at their own pace. He answered all of our questions and pointed out wonderful points of interest.
