This tour suited our purpose to a T. The guide listened to our interests and adjusted aspects of the tour as needed. He was knowledgeable and articulate, and so was the driver. Traffic is terrible, and the driver did a good job. In addition to touring the key attractions, the guide shared with us a lot about local life in Ghana, customs and other interesting facts.

I arranged this excursion The History Tour, for 24 people and they all told me afterward what a great day they had. The visit to the fishing harbour was amazing and the castle guides were informative. Lunch was very good, served in lovely surroundings. We were on a 93-night cruise so communication was not always easy, due to lack of Wifi but Mimi always replied quickly to my messages and when we arrived at the port the 2 buses were waiting for us and all was in order. Very efficient. Because of some sickness on the ship, there were slightly fewer of us than there had been and I had been unable to communicate this to her, but there was no problem. A very nice lady. I would recommend this company
A great experience

Great driver and Guide. Be aware roads are quite rough, but our transport was comfortable. We enjoyed both the Castles and learnt a lot about them. The lunch was also very good
