    I had an enjoyable tour with Landtours Ghana. From start to finish, they were very much a part of my adventure and did everything to make my tour experience a pleasant one. Tara, the Sales and Operations Manager, established contact well before my tour began and answered all of my questions. Moses, my tour guide, was professional, punctual, knowledgeable and always safe. My only recommendations for this tour is to have Tourradar update its itinerary to match that of Landtours Ghana. The tour travel dates, price and meals did not match. The initial travel dates were not available, so I had to do an individual tour instead of the group tour and pay two times more. The itinerary I received said both breakfast and dinner meals served, but only breakfast was served. Also, I felt two of the hotels, in my opinion, were of two star quality and not three. Overall, this has been a wonderful experience and I look forward to returning and I’m already recommending Landtours Ghana and this this tour to family and friends.

    Asked on January 23rd, 2025

    I am keen to visit Ghana, and I see that you only have tours up to June 2025. I was thinking about late October/NOvember as I am travelling to Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda in the month of October. Do you do dates towards the end of the year. Also, I see you only have the age up to 70. Im 73 and just back from 2 months travel through Pakistan, Oman, Jordan and Iraq. Im fit, do you not have people travelling my age.

    • Landtours Ghana Ltd.OperatorWritten April 2025

      Yes, we do have people your age who come for our tours. We put 70 as our cut off as sometimes the level of physical activity may be high. However, the information you have provided on touring Pakistan and the other aforementioned countries shows you are a frequent tourist and our packages will suit you just fine. Just to let you know that the Itinerary that was shared with you earlier can be tailored to work with the months you have provided. We will just need to coordinate and get the specific dates.
