Resplan
Ge dig ut på en kraftfull och känslomässig resa av minne och återanknytning. Vid ankomsten kommer de att gå samma väg som en gång förslavade afrikaner, vilket leder till Ndonkor Nsuo (Slave River), där fångarna tvingades ta sitt sista bad innan de transporteras till kusten. Guidad av lokala historiker kommer besökarna att engagera sig i berättande, traditionella riter och symboliska ritualer som hedrar styrkan och andan hos sina förfäder. Höjdpunkten på besöket är det första återkomstbadet – en symbolisk rening i floden som representerar andlig förnyelse, återkoppling till arvet och början på en helande resa. Längs vägen kommer resenärer att bevittna minnesmärken, lära sig om Ghanas kultur och uppleva den djupa betydelsen av denna heliga plats.
På Elmina Castle kommer resenärer att kliva in i en av de äldsta och mest betydande europeiska byggnaderna i Afrika söder om Sahara. Denna historiska fästning byggdes av portugiserna 1482 och blev senare en viktig knutpunkt för den transatlantiska slavhandeln. Besökare kommer att utforska mörka, smala fängelsehålor där förslavade afrikaner hölls, gå genom "Door of No Return" och stå i guvernörens kvarter som står i stark kontrast till lidandet nedan. Guidade turer ger kraftfulla berättelser om motståndskraft och motstånd, som erbjuder djup insikt i slaveriets mänskliga inverkan. Slottets läge vid havet ger också en spöklikt vacker bakgrund för reflektion, vilket gör besöket till en djupgående och känslomässig resa genom historien.
Resenärer som bokar ett besök på **Cape Coast Castle** och **Door of Return** kommer att gå igenom en av de mest betydande och känslomässiga platserna i den transatlantiska slavhandeln. På slottet kommer de att utforska de mörka, förtryckande fängelsehålorna där förslavade afrikaner hölls under omänskliga förhållanden, guvernörens kvarter som står i stark kontrast till lidandet nedanför, och *Dörren utan återvändo*, genom vilken otaliga liv tvingades ut i det okända. Nu symboliskt omdöpt till *Door of Return*, kan besökare reflektera, hedra och andligt återansluta med förfäderna som passerade. Guidade turer ger historiska sammanhang och personliga berättelser som ger platsen liv, som erbjuder en kraftfull och omvälvande upplevelse av hågkomst, motståndskraft och återanknytning till arvet.

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.
