This experience was incredible. Vince took us personally through the areas of Accra that we tried to do by ourselves and couldn’t do it. It was educational/informative and I know I would suggest moodofhope tours to anyone who asks. Thanks again Vince for the incredible tour and the education we were given. Medasse.

Vince was very knowledgeable about Ghana's history, courteous, and very accommodating with my unique schedule
Thank you so much! I deeply appreciate your kind feedback.
Vince gave us a passionate and understandable insight into the contemporary Ghanaian scene way beyond what you'd normally expect from a guide showing a city's major attractions. He was responsive and flexible during the booking process and throughout the day providing a bespoke experience for a party ranging in age from 17 to mid sixties, some of whom were born in Ghana and others who had never visited before - there was something in it for everyone. A shout out for Roots restaurant which was a stop on the tour and the best food I experienced on our trip. And for our driver who dealt well with the difficult roads. Time flew by and we greatly enjoyed Vince's company - I would not hesitate to book a tour with Vince again.
I am truly thankful for your time and kind review. I look forward to hosting you in Ghana in the future. Take care and thanks again. I appreciate it

Thank you so much Isaac. I wish you and your wife the very best too. Thank you for everything and end enjoy the rest of your working visit.
I spent a full day touring Accra with Vince, and I can honestly say it was one of the highlights of my trip. Vince is an outstanding guide. He’s thoughtful, charismatic, and extremely knowledgeable about the history and culture of Ghana. What stood out most was how genuine and kind he is. Vince clearly cares about his guests’ experience and each opportunity to connect and form a new friendship. His dedication to sharing his love for Ghana is truly inspiring! If you’re visiting Accra and want a guide who is professional, warm, and intelligent, I cannot recommend Vince highly enough. He absolutely deserves your business!
Wow! Your words truly touched my heart. Thank you for such a beautiful feedback and for trusting me with your Accra experience. Guests like you reminds me of why I love what I do. I am beyond grateful and so happy we crossed paths. Please be safe!
My two teenage daughters [12 and 13 year olds] and I had a great experience with Vince. He is very knowledgeable and took us to great sites with knowledgeable staff. We came out of the tour enriched with history and better understanding of the past, present and potential future of Ghana. Feel free to reach out for any questions. Thank you Vince!
Thank you so much for the kind words. I’m truly honored to have shared Ghana’s story with you and your amazing daughters. Grateful you felt enriched - your support means the world. Hope our paths cross again someday.
This tour is a must! We did this tour as soon as we got to Ghana and it was a great way to see some of the most important sites in Accra. Vince was an amazing tour guide. He was so knowledgeable and passionate about the history of Ghana and the unfortunate history of slavery. He was fun and welcoming and really made this an enjoyable experience for us. You have to do this tour when you come to Accra.
Thank you so much madam for the opportunity to be part of your “Ghana in Accra” experience. I deeply appreciate it.
