If you're even considering this tour, we highly recommend you book now. This tour is a great way to be introduced to Senegal and Ghana since they offer two different experiences but both in West Africa. If we could do anything differently, it would only be to add on the 2 day tour to see Saint Louis in Senegal because we would have liked to spend more time there. Our tour guide in Senegal was Abou and our driver was Ibou. Both were absolutely fabulous. Abou was willing to teach us about his country including some phrases in Wolof, answer all our questions, take us to delicious restaurants to try local food, and make sure we were always taken care of. Senegal is an amazing country with extremely welcoming people and a rich culture. In Ghana, our tour guide was Elvis. This tour is a good introduction to Ghana from bustling Accra to local crafts in Kumasi to the beautiful Cape Coast/Elmina area with its educational history. The people of Ghana were also very welcoming and we enjoyed the food and culture. This is a great local company with local guides and a local perspective. This trip truly enhanced our lives.Show more

Well organized tour. Pullman was the best hotel other hotels need little upgrade and better breakfasts. Best were the guides: Abu in Senegal and Martina in Ghana. They had a profound knowledge of both countries respectively and tried the best to accommodate us with places ,food and shopping. Martina was going above and beyond looking for strange food that we wanted to try, good pictures we wanted to take. She even lended us some local money when we got short and even mailed our postcards. We can wholeheartedly recommend her to anybody who wants to travel to Ghana.Show more

Continent Tour is hands down the best company I've ever used for a tour. Our tour guide Abu was very knowledgeable and helpful throughout our stay. The day before flying back home I tested positive for Covid. Although their duties as hosts were complete, Abu and his company helped us find a hotel and negotiated the price for us to help with the extra expense for our extended stay. We stayed an extra 2 weeks until we were both able to test negative. During that time, he stayed in constant contact with us, made sure we were ok and helped us at the testing facilities to get us to the front of the line each time. I can't thank them enough for their help, and concern during that stressful time.Show more
