A fun and meaningful experience! - We had a fantastic day in the gold coast! Pick up was smooth, our guide was friendly and informative, and the whole day was well planned. I'm so glad we got to see the castles and learn about the history of the coast, and the canopy bridge walk was a thrilling and unique way to see the jungle!

An Amazing Tour of Cape Coast - This tour was fantastic, our tour guide Thomson was extremely friendly and knowledgeable of the history and culture and was a great conversationalist. Pick up was right on time, we were on the road pretty early. There is a patch in the road of about 1hr which is a bit bumpy due to the construction of the Ecowas Road, but it’s definitely worth it. The visit to the castles is a bit somber as one can imagine, but very informative and eye opening. The visit to the National Park was very fun. It was also interesting to see villages and small town through the car on the way there A couple of recommendations, eat a hearty breakfast and bring a couple snacks with you because you will having lunch a bit later in the day (3pm). Lunch is not included, but Plan on spending around 200 Cedis (though I will say the portions are big so it’s definitely possible to share one plate). Overall awesome experience, highly recommend!

It was the most informative experience ever. - The best tour ever, money well spent from the pickup point of the tour the operators educated us about important historic sites on the way to the castle town of cape coast while in the transport van. We learned how to speak basic terms and were safely guided through the entire tour with no issues. There were 2 tour operators that made sure we were safe and did not have any issue even making sure we had a chance to ask questions if we wanted …very great experience I would highly recommend using this company…

Highly recommend - I did almost all of my tiyrs with expedition go tours and highly recommend. Whenever there is a delay or something (which can happen because of traffic) they call you and let you know. The communication is really good. The guides are excellent. The group size is perfect and feels a bit like family.

Lifetime Memories - Our tour guide was very professional and helpful. The canopy walkway wasn’t as scary as I thought. I learned so much history in one day about my ancestors that I will cherish for a lifetime. I recommend this tour.

Amazing experience - Emmanuel was an amazing tour guide. He was very attentive, informative and went out of his way to ensure that I and others in the group had a great experience. I was a solo traveller and so he did a great job in helping me take lots of pictures and videos so I would have memories of the experience. The tour itself was great. It was a long day but the canopy walk was amazing fun and the castle tour very emotional but informative and captivating experience. Overall it was an incredible day and I feel so fortunate to have had Emmanuel as a guide

Hard adventure for Cap Coast, Kakum parc, and Eimina Castle - The bus was not aligned with the description in the vaucher. Small one, tight seats, can not change place as it was full, it gives me leg and back ache, for a total of 8hours on both ways, food should be prohibited on board (a part from snacks/drinks) as a guest suffered from allergies and I was requested to give my seat on the front, to accommodate her, guests should be treated equally and the guide should have given its seat instead.... The driver jochowa and guide Emmanuel tried their best to face the challenges, but the tour ended late 2am the next day. Very challenging for the road. No WIFI on Board. Pick up and drop off were done professionally especially the pick up on time as received. I liked the team spirit of the provider, but I think some work should be done for long distance trips with the bad road conditions. At the end were were back all safe.

Do Not Book…. Waste of money and time - The attractions were great and led by the people who worked there, not even the “private tour guide”. Everything else was terrible from start to finish. 1 hour late pickup, no WiFi, broken tire that made us stop on the road for an extra hour to get fixed, poor planning and explanation of locations along the way, unorganized, kept switching the order of attractions, was supposed to eat lunch at a restaurant but because we were so late we had to eat on the bus, waited almost an hour in the bus for our takeaway food when the food was supposed to be ready when we got there. Food not included which is ridiculous for the American dollars they are charging. Stupid stupid and hopeless all around. We had to tour the Elmina castle in the dark. Got back at almost 2am because of all the things that went wrong. Everything was ridiculous. This company is a joke. The busses aren’t even owned by the company, they are random drivers they rent from and have no coordination or communication with the company. I seriously want to dispute the charge from my card because it was almost $500 for 4 of my family members… but I’m kind.
