5.00Micheal was kind, passionate, patient, and knowledgeable. One of my friends left an item behind (on the tour bus), he promptly called and she was able to get her item. Book this tour with Micheal. You will not regret it.

5.00Ben was amazing! I was so glad that I went with him instead of alone as there was no way I could have navigated this market by myself. Such an amazing experience and worth every penny!

5.00Prince was very friendly and adjusted his tour based on our wishes and interests. He showed us around different spots of the market and gave insights at each section. We would recommend him.

5.00Make sure you wear comfortable shoes and be ready to ebb and flow with everyone else. It's a ride not to believe! You will meet local vendors, learn about local plants, herbs, fruits, wild caught sea animals. You will visit all the different sections of the market. It's like a Super Walmart, Home Depot, Goodwill and bus station all in one giant outdoor market. You will learn about the ladies of the North who work as porters. It's crazy chaotic but there is beauty in it's apparent haphazard pace. Prince, our guide, loves his country and his enthusiasm is contagious. You can tell him exactly what you want to see or let him lead you on an adventure of discovery. I definitely recommend this tour!
Great tour!!

5.00I was skeptical if I needed a tour for the market or not, but I’m glad I took this decision. Prince is such a great guide; he asked me first about my expectations, and when he realized I was more interested in exploring and taking photos, he tailored the tour to my needs, taking me to a lot of elevated buildings to take beautiful photos. And when I asked to buy something, he once again tailored the tour to help. He also bought me cocoa, which was a new experience for me to both drink and eat. Thank you, Prince, for the tour and for making me feel safe in the market.

5.00I can’t say enough great things about Prince. Though we were supposed to make our way to the market to meet him, he agreed to meet us at our hotel to walk with us to the market, which was only 5-10 minutes away. Then, on the morning of our tour, it was raining, which would have made a tour of this open air market miserable. Prince then agreed to get us by car to take us to another market that was covered so that we could get souvenirs without getting wet. He did not have to do this, and he truly went out of his way to accommodate us. He showed us around the market, told us how to bargain for lower prices and actually helped us to get better deals. He was so friendly and welcoming. He was so knowledgeable about the local markets and Ghanaian culture . He really was great! I wish we had met him sooner to get to do other tours with him. If you are planning to go to any of the markets, you have to go with Prince!
We had a great experience...

5.00We had a great experience with our guide Prince during our visit to Makola Market in Ghana. He was incredibly helpful and attentive—whenever we wanted to see or learn about something, he did his best to assist us. He's also a genuinely kind and friendly person. Highly recommended!
Worth Every Penny: Guided Market Tour

5.00we almost tried to tackle that market on our own. Major mistake! It's HUGE, like, seriously sprawling, and super hot and crowded. Plus, let's just say 'excuse me' isn't in everyone's vocabulary. Having Prince as our guide was a game-changer. He knew all the shortcuts, where to find the best deals, and how to navigate the chaos like a pro. He even sorted out our ride home when our phones wouldn’t work to call uber! Seriously, save yourself the stress and book him. We'd have been totally lost without him. The actual market itself was amazing to see.
