History in Accra - Ben was an excellent and informative tour guide. He arrived early, gsve us a lot of information as the driver drove to destinations and arranged for private guides at some locations. It's sad that the government hasn't seen it necessary to renovate the Jamestown forts used for the slave trade. That's a missed opportunity and missed revenue stream. It could help revitalize all of Jamestown. Although we didn't get out qt Jamestown, we had other opportunities. And, Ben negotiated prices for us and guided us directly to vendors selling our desired items at the Market. Great trip.

Samuel was exceptional,... - Samuel was exceptional, exceptional, exceptional ! I’d give him 6 out of 5 stars! He was well versed on Ghanaian history, current affairs, culture and religion. My sky-high visit to the enormous outdoor market was eye-opening. But the best thing about my half day tour was Samuel’s warm, outgoing and friendly personality. I felt totally comfortable from the moment he picked me up. He is one of the top guides I’ve had in my life and I’d recommend him to anyone who wants to know more about Accra, Ghana.

Excellent tour of Accra for first time visitors - It was my husband and my first time in Accra. Really enjoyed the day tour with Elisha as our guide. We learned a lot about the history of Ghana including its pan African roots. The shopping experience was also a highlight.

Excellent and interesting tour - Very interesting tour, and Emmanuel was an excellent guide. As I am of an older demographic, he took special care of me when the streets were uneven. I appreciated this. Tour all ran to time and I felt was good value.

Beauty of Accra for a day; Memories for a lifetime - Bernice was an amazing tour guide! She gave us great historical and cultural context for all of the sites. We felt like “explorers” rather than tourists. She even taught us a couple of words in Twi. Michael, our driver, also took good care of us.
Most notably, we also really benefitted from her help and wisdom in the Makola market. Really glad we do not have to navigate that on our own — it would have been overwhelming. Great photo opportunity from a “Birds Eye” view, also helped us prepare for the chaos down below.
I will be returning home, now wanting to read more about W.E.B. DuBois, and especially Kwame Nkrumah.

Not very communicative, not understandable. It's too bad. - We had booked a "private guide" but found ourselves in a van with two other couples. Okay, not pretty, but not bad either. "TiA. This is Africa.)
Our guide was unfortunately not very talkative; we had to ask almost everything and "pull out of his nose".
In addition, unfortunately, his English was not very easy to understand, which was due to his dialect and his getting used to pronunciation. Even the Australian couple struggled to understand him.
