Itinerario
Embárcate en un viaje poderoso y emocional de recuerdo y reconexión. A su llegada, recorrerán el mismo camino que una vez tomaron los africanos esclavizados, que conduce al Ndonkor Nsuo (río Esclavo), donde los cautivos se vieron obligados a tomar su último baño antes de ser transportados a la costa. Guiados por historiadores locales, los visitantes participarán en narraciones, ritos tradicionales y rituales simbólicos que honran la fuerza y el espíritu de sus antepasados. El punto culminante de la visita es el Primer Baño de Retorno, una limpieza simbólica en el río que representa la renovación espiritual, la reconexión al patrimonio y el comienzo de un viaje de sanación. En el camino, los viajeros presenciarán monumentos conmemorativos, aprenderán sobre la cultura ghanesa y experimentarán el profundo significado de este lugar sagrado.
En el Castillo de Elmina, los viajeros entrarán en uno de los edificios europeos más antiguos y significativos del África subsahariana. Construida por los portugueses en 1482, esta histórica fortaleza se convirtió más tarde en un importante centro para la trata transatlántica de esclavos. Los visitantes explorarán mazmorras oscuras y estrechas donde los africanos esclavos fueron retenidos, caminarán a través de la "Puerta de No Retorno" y se pararán en los aposentos del gobernador que contrastan marcadamente con el sufrimiento que hay debajo. Las visitas guiadas proporcionan poderosas historias de resistencia y resistencia, ofreciendo una visión profunda del impacto humano de la esclavitud. La ubicación junto al mar del castillo también proporciona un marco inquietantemente hermoso para la reflexión, haciendo de la visita un viaje profundo y emocional a través de la historia.
Los viajeros que reserven una visita al **Cape Coast Castle** y la **Puerta de Retorno** caminarán por uno de los sitios más significativos y emocionales de la trata transatlántica de esclavos. En el Castillo, explorarán las oscuras y opresivas mazmorras donde los africanos esclavos fueron retenidos en condiciones inhumanas, los aposentos del Gobernador que contrastan marcadamente con el sufrimiento de abajo, y la *Puerta del No Retorno*, a través de la cual innumerables vidas fueron forzadas a lo desconocido. Ahora renombrada simbólicamente como la *Puerta del Retorno*, los visitantes pueden reflexionar, honrar y reconectarse espiritualmente con los antepasados que pasaron por allí. Las visitas guiadas proporcionan contexto histórico e historias personales que dan vida al sitio, ofreciendo una experiencia poderosa y transformadora de recuerdo, resiliencia y reconexión con el patrimonio.

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.
