My husband and I had a fabulous time in the market with Ben. Ben knew where everything item was. We are originally from the Caribbean, we are used to going to such a busy market. However, some people might not like it. I promise it's safe.
Prince was our tour guide. He was very knowledgeable on the history of the market. We were prepared and came with a list which helped, to ensure that we were taken to the right parts of the market. We appreciated Prince’s patience and chivalry throughout the tour. The market is an amazing place but as the second largest in the country, a tour guide is needed to help you not be overwhelmed by it all. Thank you again.
If it’s your first time visiting Makola Market, I highly recommend going with him as your guide. It’s absolutely worth it! He’s knowledgeable, helpful, and makes the experience much easier and far more interesting.
Many thanks for reviewing us.
This was an amazing experience! Going to Makola Market as someone not from this area would have been very challenging. Ben escorted us every step of the way and helped us to get the very best deals! We would have truly been lost without his guidance and it was worth the cost. We are thankful to have him lead the way!
We are grateful for your review.
Great experience! Be ready to do a lot of walking. Bring plenty of GHC cash you’ll definitely come across things you’ll want to buy. Ben, the tour guide, was amazing very knowledgeable and explained everything thoroughly. Highly recommend!
Thanks for taking the time to give us this great review.
My wife and I embarked on a tour with Prince, who was a wonderful tour guide that walked us through the history of the Makola market. Excellent tour and could not recommend this higher.

We are sincerely grateful for your review
My husband and I had a wonderful experience exploring the market with Prince as our guide. We went to the market on Sunday midday and it was not crowded. Prince was a very professional, helpful, and courteous guide. And he customized the experience to what we were interested in. I would recommend taking this tour and our guide, Prince.
We appreciate your review of our service. Thank you
Having a tour to go through the markets was the best choice. Our guide, Prince, was knowledgeable friendly and helped us develop and fine-tune our negotiating skills at the market. I recommend this activity to anyone!
Many thanks for your review.
Excellent experience. Be prepared to know what you want to buy and wear closed toe shoes if you are concerned about stepping in stuff. Tour guide was very knowledgeable and knew his way around. He even was kind enough to help us get back to our hotel. This market is not for going by yourself as a first timer.
Thanks for your positive review.
