First time in Ghana, grateful for the amazing experience with Nyonkopa - It was my first time visiting Ghana and I couldn’t be more grateful for the attentive and kind service I got from Nyonkopa.
They helped me with the visa on arrival process and tailored the tour to my needs, I had an amazing experience in a few days, I learned a lot about Ghana culture, explored Accra, tried local food in very authentic places, visited the Nkyinkyim museum and the fantasy coffins stores.
Thanks for everything! I’d happily recommend the agency with friends, family or really anyone wanting to explore Ghana

Informative and well paced - We enjoyed the detailed information about the history of the city of Accra as we were taken on a tour of the major sites with stops at a few sites and driveby others that were not accessible to the public. Kweku our guide and Kofi the driver were pleasant.

Great tour of Ghana - The tour was great and my guide, Kofi, was knowledgeable and very helpful visiting the city,visiting the landmarks and all.
I booked my first trip with them in Accra, and then arranged all my travel with them throughout my stay in Ghana.
They were always reactive and very helpful. I got to explore most of Ghana with them and got to see a lot so I would definitely recommend booking with them : awesome Touring Company

Great day of history and culture! - My guide Kweko was exceptional. Very patient as I asked a time of wording about history and place. He took me to all the shops in the market and even gave me a lesson on how to bargain and specific items. I highly recommend the tour to learn more about Accra history, culture and people!

Great experience and even better customer service - This tour was great and the customer service was absolutely Phenomenal!!! We were driving all around the city and given the history of Accra. Our guide, Kofi was super friendly and allowed us to make adjustments to our itinerary as we saw fit. He even helped us negotiate at the market for the best price. A gentlemen named Kweku helped us confirm and organize our trip. He was also Amazing! We had left a souvenir in the car and he went out of his way to return it to us and wouldnt even accept a tip. I highly recommend this company and tour!

An amazing historical, cultural, and enjoyable tour of Accra!! - My family and I thoroughly enjoyed this highly recommended tour of Accra, the beautiful and vivacious capital city of Ghana! tThe tour is an all inclusive experience into the extremely important history and beginnings of Ghana with many significant stopping points. Isaac was an incredible guide whom ensured that myself and my family would have a complete understanding of the very significant history of Ghana. No trip to Ghana would be complete unless you embark on this very relevant tour!

Great tour - It was outstanding!!! Well worth the price. Our guide was well versed on areas around the city and it felt as if we experienced so much in such a short period of time. I would highly recommend this tour. I am a senior citizen and was experiencing Ghana with my 25 year old grandson. The tour captured the attention of both of us. Our guide acclimated the tour to both energy levels, and most importantly knew where all the washrooms were located. Don’t think twice - book this tour!!!!
