Great tour experience! - We enjoyed our Accra to Cape Coast tour. Fred, our guide, was very nice and informative. We had a great time on the Canopy walkway and learned a lot at the castles. It was a long and full day! Thank you!

Unforgettable Tour — History, Adventure, and Amazing Service! - Excellent Tour – Beautiful Experience and Great Service I had an amazing experience visiting Cape Coast, Kakum National Park, and Elmina Castle. The history shared at both castles was powerful, emotional, and deeply moving — a visit I’ll never forget. Kakum’s canopy walk was such an adventure and offered breathtaking views of the forest. The van was clean, comfortable, and even had WiFi throughout the trip. The team was incredibly kind and professional — they even helped pay for my meals before I could get to an ATM, which I truly appreciated. Everything was well organized, and the service was outstanding from start to finish. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Ghana!

Memorable-Emotional Day! - The journey is long and the road construction impacts the normal timeframe. At the same time, our Tour Guide and driver, Geo Fred was AMAZING! He had the four of us sharing information about our Ghana choice, teaching us and using our Ghanaian names based on day of birth-as a way of introductions, and teaching and expecting us to use basic Ghanaian terms. He was very considerate of our needs and did a great job of including “ strangers, “ in all aspects of the experience,”so that we felt comfortable asking questions and spending time together. Geo Fred is truly an asset to your team, and because of his social skills, his willingness to embrace tough conversations, and his compassion made the experience Memorable, Thought Provoking and Emotional! Thank You

Birthday trip in Ghana - Moses was our guide and driver. Very personable, professional, friendly and all around lovely. This was our first time in Ghana for my mom’s birthday and he and his company made sure it felt extra special! We enjoyed every moment of our tour and outing with Moses. He picked us up and guided us back to our hotel safely. Highly recommend Expedition Go Tours! Ask for Moses, you won’t be disappointed The Cape Coast tour itself was emotional, thrilling, informative and enjoyable. Despite what we already know about our enslaved ancestors, we learned so much and got to take a step back into time and listen to what was endured and what the conditions were like. The long drive there is totally worth the experience. It was only 4 of us in our group so a very small, intimate experience. The crowds at the castles and stops were very manageable. There was no out of pocket coast except for our lunch, any drinks you buy and souvenirs. Everything for admission fees was covered by what we paid for the tours.

A once in a lifetime experience - Moses was first timely and accommodating. He provided a comfortable, clean transportation unit. Moses friendly and welcoming disposition made me feel like I was visiting family. I thoroughly enjoyed him providing us knowledge of his culture and history of the region. I would take this trip again.

Excellent day trip - We had a wonderful day tour to Cape Coast with Expedition Go Tours. Our guide Emmanuel was friendly, knowledgeable, and very helpful throughout the long trip. Visiting Ussher (Uma) Castle, Cape Coast Castle, and Kakum National Park was an unforgettable experience—well worth the travel time. Highly recommended!

Excellent Accra & Cape Coast Tours – Moses Made It Unforgettable! - We first booked the Accra Guided City Tour and had an amazing experience, largely thanks to our tour guide, Moses. He was incredibly welcoming, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about sharing the history and culture of the city. He didn’t miss a beat! We enjoyed the tour so much that we immediately asked if the company offered a Cape Coast tour, and we were happy to find out they did. We booked it for the next day and specifically requested Moses again. The Cape Coast trip was absolutely worth it. It was an emotional and eye-opening journey through history as we explored Cape Coast and Elmina Castles. We also braved the canopy walkway at Kakum National Park. It was an unforgettable adventure! Overall, both tours were outstanding, and Moses truly made the experience exceptional.

Highly recommended and unforgettable - I had an excellent overall experience with the agency from the initial booking process to the final drop-off. The communication was consistently clear and helpful, which made everything seamless. Our tour guide, Moses, was not only friendly and approachable but also deeply knowledgeable, sharing fascinating insights throughout the day. A special note of thanks goes to our driver, Elvis, whose impressive skill ensured a remarkably smooth and safe journey despite the challenging road conditions. The Cape Coast tour itself is an absolute essential for any visitor to Ghana. It is a profoundly moving and educational experience, rich with historical significance that leaves a lasting impact. I would highly recommend this tour and this excellent agency without any reservation
