Frank, my guide was great. The canopy walk is exhilarating, and the castles powerful and necessary for anyone coming to Ghana for the first time.

If you're looking to experience the deep-rooted history of Ghana in a single, transformative day, the Accra to Cape Coast and Elmina Day Tour with Frank Doe Travels is an unmissable journey. From start to finish, this tour delivers a powerful, immersive, and sobering education in Ghanaian history and the transatlantic slave trade, all facilitated by the knowledgeable and compassionate Makafui at Frank Doe Travels.

Amazing tour and guide! Frank was truly exceptional! His attention to detail was amazing and answering all my questions in the way! Gave us details of the country outside of the 3 locations. He truly has a passion for tourism!

As an individual interested in history and evolution of humanity it was a great experience but a sad day indeed. Very moving being inside those dungeons and learning what life was like for the victims of this horrendous crime.
Excellent tour and Guide.

We spent 5 days with Frank. He is a seasoned tour guide with flexibility. We did Elmira Castle, the coast, the national park, and more. He is very knowledgeable on all aspects of Ghana. The whole experience was excellent.
Thoroughly recommended, must do.

We were taken to the Karkum National Park Canopy Walk, a private tour of Elmina Castle and had lunch and some chill time at Coconut Grove Beach Resort. Nii Laaye hosted us throughout, Nii was uplifting and very informative throughout. We had a guide at the Canopy Walk and Elmina Castle, they added a lot of extra knowledge. Fred at Elmina was exceptional, one of the most knowledgeable and informative guides I’ve had anywhere where in the world. Fred is a brilliant communicator and helped us understand Elmina in manner entirely appropriate to the site and its grave history. The mix of the beautiful but challenging Canopy Walk with the compelling, brutal and barbaric history of Elmina Castle. Followed by good food and time to decompress at the beach, along with Nii’s uplifting approach, made for a great tour. One of the bests of done anywhere. Word of warning, the minibus driver is fast and very Ghanaian in style. It feels a bit scary to those not used to it.

I do not have enough positive words about my experience with our guide Nii. I will start by saying communication was top notch. I received a phone call, email, and text confirmation for our trip. Pick up was stress free and early. The van was comfortable and had great air conditioning. Nii was knowledgeable and friendly and curated a beautiful day for us to learn all about our locations. Book this company for your day adventures you will be well taken care off and you will learn about this beautiful country, its history and the deep scare of the transatlantic slave trade.
Excellent Experience

It was sobering to hear how Africans (my ancestors) were treated during the slave trade. Those same atrocities made their way to the American shores. Understanding one’s history is crucial. It was a great learning opportunity. FRANK DOE was the perfect guide. I plan to use him in the future on a return trip. He knows the region very well. He is an excellent driver. He ensured that safety was his top priority. Highly recommend this tour with Frank.
