Our group spent ten days on this tour. It provided a fairly comprehensive view of Ghana with some amazing sites and experiences. LandTours is very organized and their prices are fair. Elvis, our tour guide, and Peter, our chauffeur were phenomenal! Both were personable, very knowledgeable, and attentive!
What a wonderful experience!! Elvis is so knowledgeable and willing to answer all off our questions which makes the experience that much more enjoyable.
The people in the village were extremely friendly and they truly appreciated interacting with the group. In addition, we learned a lot about their traditions and cultural.
Elvis (guide) and Peter (driver) were a great team! They have my highest recommendation. I will be sure to ask for them the next time I visit Ghana. They made my entire trip pleasant and worry-free.
We’re delighted to hear that our star guide, Elvis and Peter made your trip so memorable with their teamwork, expertise, and dedication to ensuring a worry-free experience. It’s guests like you who inspire us to keep delivering exceptional service. We’ve shared your kind words with Elvis, Peter, and the entire team, and they’re thrilled to know they contributed to your unforgettable journey. We can’t wait to welcome you back to Ghana and will ensure Elvis and Peter are ready to create even more amazing memories for you. Until then, safe travels, and keep exploring! With gratitude, The Landtours Team.
Had the most amazing time. Our guide Elvis and our driver Peter were the best. I would recommend this tour to everyone looking for an authentic experience.
We're absolutely thrilled that Elvis and Peter made your Ghanaian adventure so seamless and enjoyable. Their passion for sharing our culture and ensuring every detail is perfect is what makes them such a dynamic duo, and your kind words mean the world to them! We’ve already celebrated your feedback with our whole team (there were big smiles all around!). Rest assured, Elvis and Peter will be first in line to welcome you back whenever you return. Until then, may your travels be filled with the same joy and discovery you found here. We can’t wait to create more worry-free memories together! With warm appreciation, The Landtours Family
Excellent work! I can’t recommend this tour guide highly enough! He is knowledgeable and very helpful. He’s given me a trip of a lifetime.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are happy to know that you had a pleasant trip with us with fond memories made. We hope to host you again soon and show you a different country in West Africa. Regards, The Landtours Team.
Elvis and Francis did a fantastic job. Elvis was very informative and knowledgeable about Ghana. He went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. He shows Great Leadership. Land tours is the Best
Dear Mr./Ms. Lees, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We will share your splendid review with Elvis and Francis but, most importantly, we are glad that you felt well catered for during your time with us. We look forward to sharing more of West Africa with you and look forward to welcoming you back. Regards, The Landtours Team.
Our group had a wonderful time on the Togome Village Tour along with the other stops on our Landtours adventure. Our driver and guide were top notch. We learned so much more than any typical tour as they shared their own insights and experiences with us. The bus was in great condition and they always had our comfort and safety in mind. I would definitely recommend LandTours for either their guided tours or a custom itinerary.
The village tour was mind-changing and is something I could never have pulled together myself. Charles was always on time, cheerful, friendly and added a layer of safety to everything we did. Plus he was great at navigating the bus through the potholes in the roads hahaha! I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Ghana who might otherwise just stay on the coast and visit Accra and the Slave Castles/forts/dungeons. It really gives a more rounded perspective of what's going on in Ghana.
Our Ghana tour was excellent en every way because of several factors. First, we had Elvis, our pleasant and knowledgeable tour guide. He assisted us with a great attitude; and Francis, our driver was amazing in negotiating every type of road. Our experience to the village of Torgome in the Lower Volta took us to our highest spiritual points. We left the village with new names and renewed spirituality. We also visited the Elmina and Cape Coast Castles where our guides did a great job of reenacting the painful experiences of the captured ancestors. The Kakun National Park was great fun! Our tour ended with the spectacular tour of Accra: W.E.B. DuBois Centre for Pan African Culture, Independence Square and the Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park. Our pilgrimage to Ghana was well planned with good hotels and clean restaurants with good food. Future trips will be a couple of days longer in order to include time for rest and reflection. Ghana has a lot to offer culturally, spiritually and historically. LandTours, and especially Tara Gbedemah, must be congratulated for wonderful customer service. Our trip was 5 star and some of my group members are returning to Ghana in 2020, this time with their children to expose them to a culture that is more constructive for character building, industry, spirituality and personal development.
