Perfect private tour to explore Ghana

5.00Malik organized a great tour - we went to Kakum (canopy walk plus a bonus short hike), Elmina and Cape Coast. I had a few places of interest I wanted to see, which Malik accommodated. At the same time, he knew where we should be when, so the drive was efficient. On that count, I went with Malik on an another trip, to Shai and Volta Lake, which was equally great.
Fantastic day trip.

5.00This was an amazing trip with M&T Travel and Tours. The pick up was on time (10 min early), the drive up from Accra was in a nice, plush, air con vehicle, with tinted windows. Malik & Gershon were the guide and driver. We had great conversations with facts about Ghana/area as well as all our random questions being answered. The Kakum Park was the first stop, we got plenty of pictures and videos of our trek. We then went to the slave castles and we learned so much history. The included lunch was at a nice sit down restaurant before the journey back to Accra. Malik & Gershon were our security as well as guides and helped navigate us away from the solicitor. Overall, this is the best inclusive tour for the price with a great company. They followed up before and after the tour. This day trip was about 11 hours. The only con, driving in Accra is scary. Buckle up and try to enjoy the ride.
The views were amazing and refreshing. Happy to ride with Maliq. Beautiful scenery! Great experience. I would love to v

THE BEST TOUR EXPERIENCE EVER

5.00We did the day tour to the Gold Coast - a fascinating experience with historical importance and beautiful views of the national park. Malik is very knowledgeable, brings the history to life, took care of all the details and has a great sense of humor. Highly recommended! Malik led us on a guided heritage tour in the Cape Coast region in Ghana. He adapted the visit to include the Assin Manso Slave Market and river. We really appreciated this recommendation. The hotel pickup and arrangements via whatsapp were good, and appreciate that it was earlier at 6am to beat traffic. Our driver for the day was great, too. The beachfront lunch was a nice break in a pretty long a d heavy trip given the content of the historic slave castles.
