5.00We had an amazing time with Renaissance Cultural Tours! I would highly recommend them for any of your tourism needs in Ghana. We did the Cape Coast tour, Umbrella Rock hike and my mother in law loved the fabric and custom clothing tours. I can't recommend them enough!!
Would love to do it again
