Rejseplan
Begynd en kraftfuld og følelsesmæssig rejse af minde og genforbindelse. Ved ankomsten vil de gå den samme sti, som engang blev taget af slaver af afrikanere, der fører til Ndonkor Nsuo (Slave River), hvor fangerne blev tvunget til at tage deres sidste bad, før de blev transporteret til kysten. Under ledelse af lokale historikere vil besøgende deltage i fortælling, traditionelle riter og symbolske ritualer, der ærer deres forfædres styrke og ånd. Højdepunktet på besøget er det første bad af tilbagevenden - en symbolsk rensning i floden, der repræsenterer åndelig fornyelse, genforbindelse med arv og begyndelsen på en helbredende rejse. Undervejs vil rejsende være vidne til mindesmærker, lære om ghansk kultur og opleve den dybtgående betydning af dette hellige sted.
På Elmina Castle træder rejsende ind i en af de ældste og mest betydningsfulde europæiske bygninger i Afrika syd for Sahara. Bygget af portugiserne i 1482, blev denne historiske fæstning senere et vigtigt hub for den transatlantiske slavehandel. Besøgende vil udforske mørke, smalle dungeons, hvor slave afrikanere blev holdt, gå gennem "Døren til ingen tilbagevenden", og stå i guvernørens kvarterer, der i stærk kontrast til lidelsen nedenfor. Guided ture giver kraftfulde historier om modstandsdygtighed og modstand, der tilbyder dyb indsigt i den menneskelige indvirkning af slaveri. Slottets beliggenhed ved havet giver også en forbløffende smuk baggrund til refleksion, hvilket gør besøget til en dyb og følelsesmæssig rejse gennem historien.
Rejsende, der booker et besøg på **Cape Coast Castle** og **Door of Return** vil gå gennem en af de mest betydningsfulde og følelsesmæssige steder i den transatlantiske slavehandel. På slottet vil de udforske de mørke, undertrykkende dungeons, hvor afrikanske slaver blev holdt i umenneskelige forhold, guvernørens kvarterer, der står i stærk kontrast til lidelsen nedenfor, og *Døren til ingen tilbagevenden*, gennem hvilken utallige liv blev tvunget ind i det ukendte. Nu symbolsk omdøbt til *Døren til Tilbage*, kan besøgende reflektere, ære og åndeligt genforbinde med forfædrene, der passerede igennem. Guided ture giver historisk kontekst og personlige historier, der bringer stedet til live, tilbyder en kraftfuld og transformativ oplevelse af minde, modstandsdygtighed og genforbindelse med arv.

I have coeliac disease and booked a trip through Guide to the Philippines for higher end accommodation because of that. Our first nights were at Citidines. The chef Teddy Castro looked after me from the start and made this a really good dining experience after showing him my gluten free cards. We then went to Coron. The staff were very helpful, thanks go out to Princess who took charge, but my food was very limited to plain rice, veges, eggs, meat and fruit. El Nido the chef Raymon looked after me but on his days off it was really hard communicating to the staff even though they had access to the gluten free cards jn Tagalog and English. Day trips none of the operators had been informed even though we sent through copies of the cards. So I had to organise boiled eggs to take with me and there was fruit. In Puerto Princesa our accommodation was down graded last minute to a hotel where the staff could not understand gluten free. I ended up in hospital with viral laryngitis. If you are in hospital they cannot provide gluten free food even if ordered by the doctors and your family and friends need to bring you food. It’s a beautiful place in Palawan and the people are lovely but it’s the hardest country I’ve been to for gluten free food.
It was a fantastic tour - both informative and touching. The guides were extremely knowledgeable and was able to answer all questions, while also giving us time to reflect on what was said. Kwame at Assin Manso was superb. I highly recommend this tour; it's a heartbreaking but necessary tour.
The absolute worst experience! No one came to pick my friend and I up for the tour. My friend and I called multiple times and sent various messages, however, no one responded 😐 I received an email 2 hours and 40 minutes after the pickup time to apologize for no one showing up! In addition, the email suggested that I may not receive a refund if they decided not to process a refund 😳 such bull sh*t! Do NOT book with this company, complete scam and extremely unprofessional!! 😤😡🤬
Hello, I had my bookings synchronized with my bookings calendar and unfortunately for some reason I missed out on her booking which I apologized for and sent her a screenshot of the refund because I would never keep her money. It’s so unfair that you will write such an evil review to destroy my livelihood simply because of a technical issue even though your friend has been refunded.
Nii was an amazing guide! At the beginning of our journey he set the tone of our tour with powerful message of remembrance and honoring our ancestors. The full day tour began very early and so he ensured we had a proper breakfast to start our day. The visit to the Ancestral Slave River was very moving. After the river we visited Kakum National Park. I was nervous crossing the canopy trail, but Nii was very supportive and helped encourage me across the trail! We then went to the Slave Castles, which as you can imagine was a very emotional experience. After the castles we enjoyed a pleasant lunch on the beach where Nii helped us order delicious traditional Ghanaian dishes! If you are planning to visit Ghana, I highly recommend you book with Nii as he was a wonderful guide with great energy and vast knowledge of this beautiful country!
Learning the actual history that is not always shared in America, and meeting new people. Going through the castles was a great experience.
This tour went wayyyy beyond my expectations! Parts of the trip were extremely emotional (slave river and dungeons). Others parts were super fun, such as the National park and a nice lunch on a beautiful beach. For the National park make sure you stay hydrated and wear good fitting shoes. I do not recommend sandals or flip flops Nii was the PERFECT tour guide. He was knowledgeable about every attraction we visited and made sure he explained everything in a way that was easy to understand. Nii has a great personality and I felt completely safe with him as a single female traveler from the States. He makes sure your tour is comfortable and enjoyable! I highly recommend!
This is a true Ghanaian experience!! Nii is such a phenomenal tour guide. My girlfriend and I saw the Elmina Castle, Cape Coast Castle, and the river where the last bath took place as well. Such a heavy emotional experience. I would love to do it again. Also, the food places Nii took us to were really delicious. Having authentic Ghanaian food in Ghana is beyond amazing!!
Nii was an amazing guide. He was super accommodating before and during the tour. He was attentive and knowledgeable. We had great discussions and enjoyed his company a lot. The tour itself was unforgettable as well. He is a great guide and I would highly recommend him.
Nii was AMAZING. He was patient, understanding, and always ready to be flexible for you. He was knowledgeable and kind, always. The 4 stops were amazing and filled with information and amazing guides. This tour is a must for people of African descent. This was a highlight of our time here in Ghana.
