Itinerary
St George’s Castle, Popularly known as Elmina Castle is Unesco heritage site, built as a trading post by the Portuguese in 1482, and captured by the Dutch in 1637. It was expanded when slaves replaced gold as the major object of commerce, with storerooms converted into dungeons. The informative tour (included in the entry fee) takes you to the grim dungeons, punishment cells, Door of No Return and the turret room where the British imprisoned the Ashanti king, Prempeh I, for four years. Elmina Castle was the first trading post built on the Gulf of Guinea, so is the oldest European building in existence in suib-Saharan Africa. Elmina is also a picturesque fishing town along Ghana’s coast

We enjoyed our trip to Cape Coast! Our tour guide was very informative and friendly. We appreciate you showing us around.
Thank you for allowing us. We hope to see you again
I’m not sure I can explain in great detail how incredible this tour was. We were a group of 26 from the U.S. Some of us knew each other and some of us were perfect strangers but by the end of our 2 weeks we were all family and intend to keep in touch. Our tour guides played a huge role in this unity. They helped us understand their culture and communicate better with locals, understand our connection to the land and appreciate the power of our ancestry. They laughed and cried with us and they were always ready for any unexpected situations and for add ons that we requested. I want to hire them for another country visit but Accra owes me nothing. This was the much better than I could have ever expected. Just book with them. You won’t be sorry.
Thank you for allowing us. We hope to see you again soon.
Yaw truly epitomized “service with a smile” while navigating 25 of us through both the Ghanaian historical moments and modern-day challenges. No small feat with a range of personalities and ages, from 20 to 91.
Yaw was an incredible tour guide! He went above and beyond to make our experience smooth and enjoyable. Highly recommend!
We were taken care of by the best team ever. The tour guide and his team were very supportive of everyone and was extremely knowledgeable. We all knew we were safe and joyful of the trip back home to Ghana from the U.S. I would advise anyone to take advantage of this opportunity to see Ghana with Class and learn from the experience team that truly loves you.
You have to get up extremely early for this tour which is understandable. You have a long drive! The problem I have is the driver being 30+ minutes late. If I have to get up early to be downstairs at 6am, I should not have to wait 30 minutes for him to show up! The planner lady told me 3 minutes assuming I would not call the driver. I called the driver and he said 15 minutes. This was after I was already out there waiting. I do recommend a different driver (or company) with a newer vehicle. As someone who’s 5 feet 10 inches that car was quite uncomfortable for the long ride. I didn’t even mention he caught a flat tire on the way back home 😭
Excellent day excursion to the cape coast and Kakum national park. Jeff was a great guide. The car had good AC and comfortable. Great food along the way.
The trip was not only to Accra and the coast but it included Togo and Benin. The review selection didn’t allow me to select them. I got to hear the ture version of our African experience… not the history (His Story) as told by the Europeans or Arabs. I believe all history should be similar to multi layer cake, Where all the participants of the historic event have a voice to express their perspective of history. This was our opportunity to hear the perspective of our African brothers and sisters. I didn’t know that they told our African brothers left behind that all those taken on the ships had died. I had the opportunity to see multiple Versions of life on our continent. The interactions with our homeland, brothers and sisters was so warming and appreciative of our return. The selection of opportunities to see Africa’s culture in history far exceeded my expectations. I would definitely select And recommend ADANSI TRAVELS as my tour guide whenever in this region of my homeland. The personal dedication to unfold the history and culture of our people was their first and foremost focus. They Achieved their goal and exceeded my expectations!
Amazing experience throughout! Could not have been happier! Tour guides were world class and extremely knowledgeable!
Great tour! I happened to do a solo one with Biney and he was a wonderful guide. Would definitely recommend! Only issue was a delayed start time due to a miscommunication but otherwise a lovely day.
