Great experience to learn about the Adinka symbols, their meaning and inking. For a mother and two daughters to experience the naming ceremony together was spiritual, welcoming and priceless. The only downside to this experience was the travels to and from the activities. The roads are underdeveloped pending construction completion in 2027. If you suffer from motion sickness, I do not advise this 9+ hr round trip journey.
A perfect homecoming experience

The two day Kumasi tour was a wonderful experience from start to finish. Ben did an excellent job communicating during planning and when landing. Elisha was the perfect tour guide, very knowledgeable, professional, and kind. The tours were deeply meaningful. Will recommend Big Ben to my family and friends and anyone looking for a reliable guide!
Look no further- these guys are the BEST!

Without hesitation I highly recommend Bigbentours1gh. For future trips to Ghana I’ll be booking them exclusively if they’re available. Not only do Ben and driver Samuel have extensive expertise about the area, and which roads to take and which to avoid, but their people skills are to be commended. My traveling buddy can be a bit of challenge, but their good humor and diplomacy saved the day and kept things pleasant. If I could give them more than 5 stars I would!
Back home!!!

We were with Ben (aka Kofi because he was born on a Friday) for two full days! We booked the Kumasi tour. We enjoyed the Kumasi Village and Naming ceremony so much we booked with Ben to visit the Assin Manson Slave River Site where the slaves were given their last bath before heading to the Castles. We then went straight to Elmina and Cape Coast Castles. For both tours Ben never missed a beat and was very accommodating as far as becoming our personal photographer and tending to anything else we needed! He is also very well versed on the history of Ghana and was able to answer any questions that we had. Will definitely use Ben the next time we return. Thanks Ben for making our stay in Ghana a memorable one!!!
Great experience

Ben was incredible! The ceremony was an experience unimaginable. We thought it would just be a tap on the head and dressed in garb. It was so much more! We actually engaged with elders from the town to perform traditions. Another surprise and much appreciated was Ben’s videography and photography skills. Without us asking Ben took over and captured special moments throughout the entire tour. Will definitely recommend him to any and everyone I know visiting Accra. Side bar: definitely pack snacks. It’s definitely a road trip. Checkout Passport Snob on YouTube, TikTok, and IG for content!
