Slave Route Tour
1 Review by TourRadar travelers“The tour company was excellent. The excursions were informative and well-organized.”
Nikki, traveled in December
Groups stay small with 5-8 travelers and need just 2 people minimum to run, which means you'll get more personal time at important sites like the UNESCO-listed Cape Coast Castle and Elmina Castle. The small size lets you have better conversations with guides at emotional places like the Assin Manso Slave River, where enslaved Africans bathed in the Donko Nsuo before being shipped away. You'll be able to have meaningful talks about the 300-year transatlantic slave trade that just wouldn't happen in bigger groups.

- Ghana 8 Day Special
My family and I took this store recently over the Christmas holiday, and it was one of the best experiences ever. I would highly recommend it. Of course we it helps if you have the best tour guide, and we did! Cecelia was beyond amazing and went above and beyond to make our experience exceptional!
- 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.
