My group spent approximately 8 days with Ben & his team (Daniel & Bernice). We had some elders in our group & I loved how his team helped cater to them, even walking alongside them while the rest of us explored. Ben was very knowledgeable, not only about Ghana’s history but also Ghana’s relationships with other countries. I particularly loved that he never shied away from any “difficult” questions that my group asked. I felt completely safe with his team & enjoyed our many conversations & shared laughs. Ben has a great sense of humor. I would definitely recommend his company to anyone visiting Ghana, and I would certainly use Big Ben Tours again when I come back to visit.

Ben understood the assignment and he executed it perfectly. We were a group of 16 Jamaicans and he made us felt like he was one of us. Ben and his team ( Mr Victor, Emanuel and Bernice) made us feel safe and like family plus they are well versed on the culture of Ghana. We felt like this was really a coming home trip. I would recommend his service and expertise to all that are that are interested in visiting Ghana . We look forward to returning to Ghana soon. Thank you for an unforgettable experience. Opal

Ben was very responsive and flexible during the planning phase which made thinggs easy from the beginning. He has a great personality and sense of humor which made the tours very enjoyable. Our driver for the week made us feel very safe with his excellent navigation skills. Having a great driver who knows his way around is a major plus in Accra traffic. Ben was also very accommodating with the impromptu stops we wanted to make . The next time I come back to Ghana I will definitely call Ben.
