I have had two great days with Nyonkopa Eco Tours and especially with my guide Isaac. I felt very comfortable and safe all the way. It was like discovering a new place with new friends - and I am very grateful for that. Thanks Nyonkopa Eco Tours, thanks Isaac!

I completed the canopy walk at Kakum National Park, and I visited Elmina Castle and Cape Coast Castle with Isaac as a tour guide. Everything was easy and straightforward from booking the trip until the end of the day. The company confirmed pick up time and place, and Isaac picked me up from my hotel and dropped me off there at the end of the day. Right away I felt comfortable with Isaac. He was kind, accommodating and very knowledgeable about the local areas and the attractions. Any questions I had, Isaac had answers. He made sure that if I needed anything he would be able to take care of it. Isaac encouraged me to do the full canopy walk and kindly took photos for me, which I am very glad to have. Isaac took care of all the fees for the park and the castles - which came with their own local guides - and he accompanied me through everything. Isaac's timing was perfect as we arrived at Kakum before it was very hot outside, and we got to the castles before bigger tour groups and could see them without having to wait for a big group. He was patient with me and looked after me very well. I would highly recommend booking this tour.

Communication was great seeing as I booked very last minute. Our guide Isaac was so helpful, considerate, and knowledgeable that we booked a second tour with them the next day! The Kakum rainforest is a must see when in coastal Ghana and for Black Americans, especially, the castles are important history.

My tour today was absolutely amazing! The company manager made contact the day before to confirm my pick-up time, might guide’s name my, as well as a gentle but important reminder to wear proper shoes! (Make sure you have on sneakers that are for outdoor activity folx.) Issac was an excellent guide and was with me every step of the way. As a solo traveler this was truly appreciated. He provided me history as we headed to the central region and selected an amazing restaurant after our first to tops so I could eat. Mabel’s Table was EXCELLENT! Issac provide additional details at the castles and while at Kakum National Park used my phone to get video of me crossing all 7 bridges. I had a fabulous day. The tours at the castles and in the park had excellent guides. Issac my personal guide for the day was attentive, professional, and helpful. I will recommend this company to friends and family coming to Accra in the future. Well done!
