Where do I start? Christian arrived a bit late, but he truly redeemed himself throughout our amazing tour! Our first stop was James Town, where he shared fascinating insights into the history behind its name. Next, we visited the bustling market, a vibrant hub where Ghanaians sell delicious local foods, unique goods, and colorful clothing.Christian made sure we navigated through quickly and safely, even helping us negotiate great deals at one of the souvenir shops. Our third stop was the Dr. Kwame Nkrumah Museum, where a knowledgeable guide told us inspiring stories about Ghana's first president and his impact on the nation. Then, we visited the iconic Black Star Square, with Christian providing us more intriguing history about Ghana's symbols. Our final destination was the W.E.B. Du Bois Center, a truly enriching experience. Overall, this was an incredible private tour despite the slight hiccup at the start. I highly recommend Christian as a guide—if you want to dive deep into the rich history of Accra and Ghana, he's the one to choose!
Hello Natasha, Thank you so much for your detailed review. I do appreciate them alot.
It was my first time visiting Ghana and I couldn’t be more grateful for the attentive and kind service I got from Nyonkopa. They helped me with the visa on arrival process and tailored the tour to my needs, I had an amazing experience in a few days, I learned a lot about Ghana culture, explored Accra, tried local food in very authentic places, visited the Nkyinkyim museum and the fantasy coffins stores. Thanks for everything! I’d happily recommend the agency with friends, family or really anyone wanting to explore Ghana
Hello Ruben, thank you so much for choosing to experience Ghana with us. We do appreciate your time and energy a lot. We hope to host you long soon.
We enjoyed the detailed information about the history of the city of Accra as we were taken on a tour of the major sites with stops at a few sites and driveby others that were not accessible to the public. Kweku our guide and Kofi the driver were pleasant.
Thank you so much for your concerns. We did enjoy our time with you a lot. We hope to have you again for a long stay in Ghana soon.
Great trip and highly recommended! We had just one morning to explore Ghana after a meeting, but this tour hit so many highlights in just a short amount of time. I would recommend to anyone who wants to learn about the rich history of Accra!
Hello Jon, Thank you for your review. i hope to have again for a longer stay soon.
The tour was great and my guide, Kofi, was knowledgeable and very helpful visiting the city,visiting the landmarks and all. I booked my first trip with them in Accra, and then arranged all my travel with them throughout my stay in Ghana. They were always reactive and very helpful. I got to explore most of Ghana with them and got to see a lot so I would definitely recommend booking with them : awesome Touring Company
My guide Kweko was exceptional. Very patient as I asked a time of wording about history and place. He took me to all the shops in the market and even gave me a lesson on how to bargain and specific items. I highly recommend the tour to learn more about Accra history, culture and people!
Hello, i do want to express my gratitude to you for this grate review. Thank you.
This tour was great and the customer service was absolutely Phenomenal!!! We were driving all around the city and given the history of Accra. Our guide, Kofi was super friendly and allowed us to make adjustments to our itinerary as we saw fit. He even helped us negotiate at the market for the best price. A gentlemen named Kweku helped us confirm and organize our trip. He was also Amazing! We had left a souvenir in the car and he went out of his way to return it to us and wouldnt even accept a tip. I highly recommend this company and tour!
My family and I thoroughly enjoyed this highly recommended tour of Accra, the beautiful and vivacious capital city of Ghana! tThe tour is an all inclusive experience into the extremely important history and beginnings of Ghana with many significant stopping points. Isaac was an incredible guide whom ensured that myself and my family would have a complete understanding of the very significant history of Ghana. No trip to Ghana would be complete unless you embark on this very relevant tour!
Thank you so much for your informative review. We do appreciate it a lot. We hope to host you again for a longer period soon.
It was outstanding!!! Well worth the price. Our guide was well versed on areas around the city and it felt as if we experienced so much in such a short period of time. I would highly recommend this tour. I am a senior citizen and was experiencing Ghana with my 25 year old grandson. The tour captured the attention of both of us. Our guide acclimated the tour to both energy levels, and most importantly knew where all the washrooms were located. Don’t think twice - book this tour!!!!
We highly recommend this tour! We were able to see a significant portion of history and sightseeing. Issac was very accommodating and full of knowledge.. and I asked him a million questions. My favorite part was seeing the Makola Market from above .. that was an amazing experience as well as the history. Thx you Isaac for your hospitality and sharing tour knowledge!
