I truly enjoyed the tour of Accra provided by Root Tours. Our driver, Jeff, was kind, knowledgeable, and professional. He arrived to the pick up location early and he ensured that the tour was tailored to our liking. The tour started with a visit to the National Museum of Ghana and it offered a deep dive into the country’s art, history, and anthropology. Our guide’s explanations added depth to the experience. We then headed to the vibrant Makola Market before passing through Jamestown where we were able to see the area and the Jamestown Lighthouse. Next, we visited the Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park and Mausoleum, where visitors are offered a comprehensive look at his life, from his early years to his role in leading Ghana to independence. The tour and exhibits were well-curated, featuring personal artifacts, photographs, and documents that gave deeper insight into his leadership and vision. We also stopped by Independence Arch and Square. Jeff graciously offered to take pictures of our group throughout the day, and he navigated the journey with ease, which made our group feel comfortable and relaxed. The last stop of the tour was at the W.E.B. Du Bois Center, where we learned about Du Bois’ impact on Pan-Africanism and his connection to Ghana. It was a wonderful experience. The tour exceeded my expectations, and I would highly recommend it to anyone who considers themselves to be a history buff as well as anyone looking to explore Accra’s unique blend of history, culture, and modern life.
Thank you so much for this thoughtful and detailed review. We’re thrilled to hear that you had such a memorable experience exploring Accra with Root Tours. Jeff will be especially happy to know his professionalism, knowledge, and care made your day enjoyable and comfortable. We’re grateful you appreciated the historical depth of each stop and the balance of culture, history, and modern life. Thank you for the strong recommendation, and we hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable journey through Ghana
This review is long overdue because David is the best tour guide Ghana has to offer. He is personable, knowledgeable, and professional while providing a tailored travel experience in Accra, Kumasi, Cape Coast, Benin-Togo, etc. During my family vacation to Ghana, David guided us through local Accra city tours, excursions, and nightlife. We experienced Black Star Square, W.E.B DuBois memorial Center and Museum, Kwame Nkrumah Mausoleum, James Fort, Fisherman Village, Kakum Canopy Walkway, Asenema Waterfall, Aburi Botanical Gardens, the Chosen Children's Home orphanage tour, and more. In addition we went to many restaurants for local food, Buka Lounge, and Bloom Bar just to name a couple. My favorite part about Ghana is the breath taking ocean and beach vibe, I think about it often. David was very helpful with transportation arrangements, market bargaining, and suggestions. He also told us about free apps similar to Uber or Lyft for independent navigation around Accra. We stayed in beautiful resorts like Lemon Beach and Labadi, while also having nice budget friendly options. He is great at accommodating based on preference and budget. His positive attitude makes your travel experience enjoyable. I will definitely be back to Ghana and I highly recommend touring with David aka Mr.TourGuide. If you want to see more of David’s work, he can be found on instagram @mrtourguide or @roottoursghana, youtube @Mrtourguide1, and on trip advisor as Root Tours Ghana.
Thank you so much for this outstanding and heartfelt review. We’re truly honored by your kind words and grateful that David was able to make your family vacation such a memorable and enriching experience across Ghana and beyond. It means a lot to know that the personalized planning, cultural insights, and flexibility around budget and preferences added real value to your journey. Your recommendation and support mean the world to us, and we can’t wait to welcome you back to Ghana for another unforgettable adventure
We had an excellent tour yesterday with our lovely tour guide David It our first time Ghana, I recommend this to everyone.
Thank you for trusting us and exploring Ghana with us
I worked with Root Tours to plan my two itinerary for my first visit to Ghana. We traveled throughout Accra and took a road trip to Volta, Kumasi and Cape Coast. They took care of every detail including sites, meals, shopping and transportation. We even enjoyed nightlife. They recommended great accommodations and scheduled guides at each site. Sampson, my guide/driver, even served as my personal photographer making sure to capture every moment so I could fully enjoy each site. If you want to have a great time and make lasting memories, I highly recommend David and his team. Thank you Root Tours!!!!
Thank you for trusting us and allowing us to take you around the country
