5.00My husband, friend, and I had a wonderful time on the Experience the Beauty, History and Culture of Accra in a Day tour. Our guide, Elijah, was incredibly knowledgeable and accommodating, he even let us stop for lunch, though it wasn’t originally included. We learned so much about the history of Accra and truly enjoyed the experience. A few tips: eat before you go, pack water and sunscreen, and bring patience, Ghana’s sun and traffic are no joke! We were picked up around 9am and dropped off around 4pm, so it’s a full day. One thing to note: we were a bit surprised that the tour vehicle was an older Toyota Corolla. It did have AC, and since it was just the four of us, it worked fine, but with more people, it would’ve been tight. Overall, we had a great day and would recommend this tour for anyone wanting to explore Accra’s rich history and culture.
Quick overview of Accra with chance to grab souvenirs

5.00I had a wonderful experience with Elisha as my driver and guide. The tour allows shopping time at the 2 markets but dependent on your group's desires. Jamestown portion is drive-through only. We ended with lunch (not included) in Osu, which was the perfect conclusion.
Knowledgeable and attentive guide - the one day Accra tour is a great way to discover Ghana's history and capital

5.00I'd highly recommend! A great way to discover Accra with a super friendly and knowledgeable guide. I got lucky and it ended up just being me on the tour. It meant that I could tailor things to my preferences, with Emmanuel showing me all the best spots to shop in the market and he even made an extra stop at a cashpoint for me.
Enjoyable lesson and tour

5.00This is a detailed visit of Ghana covering some of the main history of the city of Accra. Emmanuel was kind and checked in often to make sure guests were comfortable. Appreciative of the openness to questions and was very professional. You get the experience you make. Kwame at the Dubois centre was very knowledgeable and the view of the market was amazing. A great indepth exeprience

5.00A city full of rich history and culture from Airport City to the coast. Many unexpected nuggets of information and insights about Our (African) History that has been distorted and/or omitted all together.
Wonderful overview of Accra.

5.00Elisha was such a great tour guide! He answered our many questions and was very knowledgeable about the history of Ghana. The day flew by too quickly but we look forward to our next trip and experience with Bigbentours1gh!
