Such an amazinggg experience! So much history and interesting facts shared from the tour guides. Highly recommended!
Thank you Jamine for the nice review and we're very happy knowing you enjoyed your experience with Bigbentours1gh
This was a fascinating insight into the slave trade history and I enjoyed learning about it through the professional guides at the locations. It is a long way from Accra so there is plenty of driving but it is worth it. A special mention for my guide Samuel. What a great guy - he is upbeat, open, professional, engaging and really made my trip even better. If you book this tour, see if you can ask for him. You will have made the right choice.
Hello, thank you for the wonderful review and we're very happy knowing you enjoyed your experience with us. We very much look forward to meeting you again in the nearest future
Price: Price was very affordable compared to other websites we searched! Driver: Our Driver was Samuel who was full of laughter and made the drive feel safe and comfortable! He also gave us pointers on how to navigate in Ghana when approaching merchants. Length: Initially picked up around 5:30AM and got back to Accra around 6PM. Ghana traffic is no joke. Overall each stop of the castle took approximately an hour-hour 30 minutes. Experience: I liked how each tour of the castles gave us our own private tour guide. Crowd Size: There were other tours happening but since it was only 2 of us & our tour guide it felt very close and personal to ask questions. Overall: Experience and atmosphere was 10/10! Be prepared to walk so wear comfy shoes/sneakers!

A day before the trip we were asked which Cape Coast trip we wanted to make. Because of the quick decision, the wrong one chosen, we wanted to do the rope bridges, but the other one was touted as the most interesting one. (so they already had travelers for that it turned out later ) It was not told that it was without the rope bridges. We were under the impression that there was only one trip. The guide had his say in the beginning, but for the rest there were guides on the spot. Our guide was mostly asleep. The only one who really had to work was the driver. Only the we have given a tip for the good ride.
Bedankt voor de recensie en voor het boeken van onze activiteit; het spijt ons dat de tour niet helemaal naar wens is verlopen. Voorafgaand aan de tour is alles uitgelegd en gaf u aan de voorkeur te geven aan de Slave River; wij hebben u toen laten weten dat er drie extra personen zouden deelnemen, waarmee u akkoord ging. We zouden nooit twee verschillende partijen samenvoegen in één tour zonder dat zij daarvoor toestemming hebben gegeven. Ik wil hierbij wel opmerken dat, als u zich wat vriendelijker en beleefder had opgesteld, u meer van de tour had kunnen genieten – dit geldt met name voor uw vrouw, die zich onbeleefd gedroeg tegenover iedereen, inclusief de gidsen ter plaatse. Nogmaals dank; ons doel blijft om onze klanten de allerbeste en meest memorabele ervaringen te bieden.
I liked having the guided tour of the Elmina and Cape Coast castles. I appreciated that the guides were well versed on the history of the castles. They provided information on the architecture, religious and cultural implications, experiences of the enslaved Africans, and plans for the future of the structure. Be prepared to be aggressively approached by local merchants selling their goods upon entry to the castle. They are not trying to hurt you in any way but if you are not used to being approached by many people quickly or are not a fan of crowds, this can be intimidating. THEY DO NOT MEAN ANY HARM!! They are simply earning a living. They are not permitted inside the museum. Lastly, there are gift shops inside the museum for you to purchase books, art, etc.

I am giving this a 5 because of Moses the driver. This trip deserves a 1 because of the deception around the time it takes to/from travel between the attraction and Accra. It took us 7 hours to get there and 6 hours to return home. The traffic and poor road conditions have been a fact of life since 2023 when the construction started. There are hotels in the area of the attractions if you would rather not spend 13 hours in a car in one day.
Hello, thank you for the review and sorry if the tour didn't go as you wished. But let me address your issue, there was no deception from our side, we informed you that we wanted to pick you up earlier because the tour was on a Saturday and due to the road construction there's a lot of traffic on Saturdays if we don't leave earlier but you were not that flexible. Also, the road construction and the nature of the road is beyond our control and don't think it's fair to blame us. Thank you
Moses was an outstanding guide for our Cape Coast and Elmina tour. He was knowledgeable, professional, and passionate about sharing Ghana’s history and culture. He took the time to explain the significance of each site, answered all questions thoroughly, and made the experience both educational and memorable. His friendly personality, punctuality, and attention to detail made the trip enjoyable from start to finish. The visit to Cape Coast Castle and Elmina Castle was powerful and moving, and Moses ensured everyone felt comfortable throughout the journey. I highly recommend Moses to anyone visiting Ghana and looking for an authentic, informative, and well-organized tour experience. Thank you for an unforgettable day! 🇬🇭✨

I booked this tour somewhat last minute. However, once I purchased the ticket, I was contacted within minutes by the tour company with my driver’s information. Shortly thereafter my driver contacted me to confirm the pick- up time and place. He also provided a description of his vehicle. My driver and tour guide was Samuel. He presented me with the choice of three places to visit among the four choices available. Samuel was very knowledgeable about his country’s history, culture, and current political events. It had rained for hours the day before my tour and there were floods everywhere. However, Samuel’s demeanor and humor about the situation made a positive impact on what could have been a very stressful experience. Throughout the drive from Accra to the sites, we spent time conversing while Samuel pointed out portions of the landscape and shared information about the places we passed. I truly enjoyed the places I visited: Elmina Castle, Cape Coast Castle, and Kakum National Park. I highly recommend this company for your future tour experiences whether you are exploring Accra or heading out to Cape Coast. If you are luck you will meet Samuel and fall in love with Ghana as I did.
