5.00Our Guide, Toufic, was awesome. He was able to answer all of our questions, as well as assisted us with the Customs of the Village. Thank You!! The ceremony itself, was truly humbling, and brought forth emotions of finally being able to see one’s African Roots. It will be remembered for the rest of our lives.
I love my African name!

5.00Our tour guide Toufic was amazing. He was knowledgeable about the history of Ghana, the culture, and the community called Torgome. Where our Naming ceremony was held, with the tribe, Ewes located in the Volta Region knew Toufic well. Toufic called ahead to inform the tribe of our arrival time which made the welcome of our presence so exciting. Lastly, Toufic took us to the Volta lake, explaining it was the 2nd largest man made lake which was very beautiful and to enjoy lunch at the amazing Restaurant called Afrikiko, put the cherry on top of everything. Overall, an amazing experience and great atmosphere. We look forward to returning soon and hope our tour guide will again be with Toufic. Happy 50th birthday to ME! Thanks for everything my brother, Toufic! Till next time, Marlon and Michelle Peace!
This is a MUST DO!!

5.00Toufic is the best tour guide that Ghana has to offer. Not only does he have an amazing personality but his astute observations help you to better understand the culture. It was the highlight of my trip to have the naming ceremony after visiting Slave River and Elmina Castle. The entire community are so welcoming upon your arrival. Please be prepared to give a gift to the Chief after the ceremony. I didn’t know what give before getting on my flight so I gave some cedis. Lunch was great and the view of Lake Volta was stunning. I’d recommend this to any descendant looking to learn about the traditions of your ancestors. It truly was a highlight for my trip. Request Toufic after you book.
An amazing experience...

4.00From the moment our guide, Kobe, picked us up, we felt like family. His energy was like we knew each other since birth and he spoke to us from a place of love and protection. He is very knowledgeable about our past and present while remaining hopeful for what the future brings to Ghana. When we arrived in the Volta Region, the children greeted us like little cousins who haven't seen us in so long! The elders embraced us with a true "welcome back home, we miss you" energy. We walked through the village and greeted our neighbors. Walked to the clear river and took in the beauty of the area. Then walked back to dance and laugh and hug our people. The naming ritual was spiritual and authentic to the Region. The names chosen by the elders fit each of us PERFECTLY!!! The blessings received were given in abundance and I am forever grateful for this experience.

5.00What An Experience. Members Of The Diaspora Returning To The Motherland, This Is Experience To Do When In Ghana. Once out of the city you get to witness the glorious, tranquil and healing sight of Akosombo, and then your naming ceremony is spiritual and restorative. I'm addition, you get to also have lunch at a picturesque lakeside restaurant. Toufic was an exceptional, charming, knowledgeable and professional tour guide with a gift for connecting with people. I will be doing another experience upon my next trip to Ghana. Peace and Blessings
