Tour was much more than expected. The itinerary gave us such a wide experience of Ghana’s cultural and historical sites, as well as chance to have fun hiking rain forest and eating at nice selection of restaurants. Our tour guide, George Benson was the best and the reason trip was so great. He was so knowledgeable on history and culture, plus so helpful and personable. His stories on the cultures of the different regions and the country were so entertaining. We visited 4 villages that gave unique glimpse into different cultures, while seeing life in countryside during bus ride through. The welcome and naming ceremony was special. It was good timed after the emotional visits to slave region and the historical tracing of our ancestors’ cruel journey. They gave us so much more history than I knew. The days on this trip, the hotels and restaurants were all perfect. Everyone was very happy with George and the drivers. I would highly recommend this trip and George as guide. The visa process was a little challenging, with using embassy website a problem. Those that used new evisa paid a lot more, process was easier but they were stopped at entry for a review and approval step.

Personalize Tour of Accra & Cape Coast
The trip was wonderful. Our tour guide Kwaku and driver Nelson went above and beyond to make sure we had an amazing time. Kwaku was very knowledgeable about the history of Ghana and Nelson drove us to places that we needed to go in addition to what was on the itinerary. To have the same tour guide and driver throughout made the visit even more special. I would recommend both Kwaku and Nelson from Continent Tours.
