5.00My husband and I had a wonderful experience exploring the market with Prince as our guide. We went to the market on Sunday midday and it was not crowded. Prince was a very professional, helpful, and courteous guide. And he customized the experience to what we were interested in. I would recommend taking this tour and our guide, Prince.

5.00Excellent experience. Be prepared to know what you want to buy and wear closed toe shoes if you are concerned about stepping in stuff. Tour guide was very knowledgeable and knew his way around. He even was kind enough to help us get back to our hotel. This market is not for going by yourself as a first timer.

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!

Outdoor Department Store...Ghana Style!

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!!

5.00Ben was a great guide! He showed us all the places we would have missed in this busy amazing marketplace. He helped us make purchases and showed us authentic Ghanaian products. We had a great time and overall I highly recommend you getting a guide for Makola Market.
