If you have a short amount of time to see Accra and want a guide to get you around and explain the history and culture, this is a great option.

This is a very pleasant experience. Our guide was Freedom, he was so kind and patient with us. He answered all our questions, he was very knowledgeable and extremely helpful. We booked this tour the day before and it was so easy. The company got in contact with us almost immediately to confirm everything. I’d recommend this to a friend or anyone I know traveling to Ghana. I was very happy to share and learn about the rich history of this country. We went to museums and national parks; all in a few hours. Thank you for a lovely experience; one we’ll remember forever.

Our tour was supposed to start at 9AM. After reaching out and attempting to figure out what was going on, I got a call at 9:30AM asking me to switch my tour to 2PM. I told them that wouldn’t work and was still given the runaround. They finally said they would come at 10:20AM which was still an annoying inconvenience. Once the tour started it was ok, the driver was accommodating but the lack of communication and late start really left a bad taste in our mouths.

We made a last minute reservation for this tour and we delighted to get immediate confirmation of availability. Emmanuel was our driver guide and he picked us up at our hotel - in a comfortable sedan. He talked with us briefly about his suggested plan for the day. He was happy to adjust plans based on our preferences. We had a great tour of Accra, visiting numerous interesting places. He was very knowledgeable about the history of Ghana, and provided us with excellent "on location" guides at several of the historic sites and museums. At the end of the tour we asked him about a convenient place to get great Ghanian food and he offered to take us to one and wait for us. Instead he called in an order, drove by to pick it up, and then took us to our hotel. Overall the half-day tour was exactly what we hoped for and we would highly recommend this tour, as well as our tour guide Emmanuel.
