Reviews of Small Group tours to Ghana
- Slave Route Tour
I would highly recommend utilizing this tour company if visiting Ghana and Cape Coast. The tour guide Innocent was extremely knowledgeable and kept me informed on each days excursion.
- PANAFEST Celebration in Ghana – 10 Days (July 25, 2027 – August 3, 2027)
The tour was absolutely unimaginably awesome! Richard, the tour guide was exceptionally knowledgeable about the Ghanaian people and their culture, and he shared it unceasingly. Also, not to be forgotten is Ebe, the “assistant guide” who, during interactions with local citizens, acted as interpreter, advised on price negotiations as well as fulfilled other multiple hyphenated roles: bellman- unofficial security-head-counter, and buddy to the group. Others not to be overlooked were the bus driver, who never made a wrong turn, and a second always-present overseer who kept a watchful eye on the group.
- Educational Tour of Ghana (A Journey Through History and Culture)
My experience was quite memorable. I was impressed mostly with the faces of the Ghanian people. Their faces radiate warmth, beauty & humility. I felt at peace being around them. I admire greatly their driving skills and their tolerance for each other. They are adept at sharing the roads & displaying a kind of respect for each other that is admirable whether one is driving, biking or walking. The places I toured were interesting, depressing as well as educational. Ghana is a developing country and I look forward to beholding its improvements in a few years.
