A Well-Planned Day with a Knowledgeable Guide
This experience and our wonderful tour guide Bernice were incredible! All the stops around the city were interesting, educational, and well worth visiting. Bernice was very knowledgeable about everywhere we stopped, and it was a joy to spend the day with her. The visit to the craft market was particularly memorable, and it would've been extremely difficult to navigate without Bernice. She was very helpful, kept an eye on all our party members, helped with haggling, and helped keep the more determined hawkers off of us. I highly recommend this experience!

Our individual private...
Our individual private tour guide was awesome! He knew so much about the history of Ghana and when we were in the museums he added to the existing exhibits. Tour guides are so friendly and helped me take pictures at each location! Tour took us about 4-5 hours to complete and loved every minute.

A excellent introduction to the city
This was a ideal introduction to Accra and we visited all the main sights, either stopping or driving by. Emmanuel was a very knowledgeable guide

Very busy day of activities
Jamestown tour was best part of trip!. There is a decent amount of walking and alot of information covered. An improvement would be being more aware of your clients especially when going thru the busy marketplace and when hecklers approach. Also be aware there are portions of tour where others aside from your main tour guide will give supplemental tours, although you're not obligated to tip, be prepared that you may also be nudged to give additional donations. Overall great experience and way to get a high level overview of Accra.

Thank you for your review we look forward to with with you again!!!

Successful start!
What a great start to get to know Ghana better.
City tour doesn't quite hit it. It's more of a tour for all the senses.
Contact with the organizer is friendly in advance. You are always well informed and receive all the information.
I was picked up at the agreed meeting point by my tour guide.
Ben is well versed in Accra and makes sure it is a unique experience.
I'll start at the Du Bois memorial. Here a nice woman showed me around all the rooms and shared her knowledge with me. Afterwards Ben showed me Black Star Square with its impressive arc and monument to the unknown soldier. A walk takes me to the tomb of the first Ghanaian president and then on to Makola Market, where the hustle and bustle is colorful. Later, I saw Jamestown and an artist's market.
Thanks to Ben, he made sure that I really liked it and I remember Accra fascinatingly!
As I said, a successful start!

Sorry for the late response, Skyway safari & tours Ghana have been running for two years with no negative review from clients, The team behind Skyway has been excellent from day this company started. Sorry we couldn't respond to you on time. We had issues with our network here. Sorry.

Cool tour guide
This tour was really enlightening and pretty easy going. Our tour guide, Emmanuel picked us up from our hotel and drove us around Accra while he talked about important buildings and statues. We stopped at all the stops mentioned in the “what to expect” and even though the tour was on a Sunday, we still walk/drove through places that are typically closed on Sundays. Emmanuel took us inside and on top of the Independence Square. We walked through Dr Nkrumah’s memorial/museum and stopped by the James Port prison. The food selected for lunch was pretty good, as was the restaurant that sat alongside the water. Emmanuel was happy to answer all of our questions and entertain our side comments.
