The tour went through a historical order and visited all the key sites in Accra. The tour guides were awesome and insightful. At certain tour stops, the tour guide allowed the site guide to lead which deepen the experience. Great pictures were taken as well. The lunch was quite delicious 😋. Also the vehicle used to transport was ideal (I wish other tour guide had the same). Overall, we chose this tour due to the sites and others customer ratings. We made the right choices and so should you. Enjoy!

My family of 3 were the only ones on the morning tour on our chosen day. Our guide Edward was prompt, knowledgeable and patient with us. We appreciated his local knowledge, and his ability to negotiate entry fees. He customized the tour to our preferences and we had a wonderful introduction to the city of Accra and its history. We would recommend this tour to first time visitors.
