3 significant stops of historical and natural importance
It was a great tour with a safe ride. Our driver Daniel was very willing to answer our questions and get us set up with a guide for each stop (Elmina castle, cape coast castle and Kakum national park). He picked up the other guests in Accra (I was staying local to Elmina) so I know they had a long day making it back too but they were in safe hands with a clean car.
We did not have supervision in Kakum and had a little difficulty finding the right trails to climb to the canopy walk but were able to put our heads together (the four guests) to figure it out and it was very bonding.
While Daniel drive and coordinated, I think we expected a little more interaction. But the tour guides at each location were hospitable and kind and shared with us the history of the location and overall significant. The only thing lacking was a conversation with an ecologist or jungle expert about all the things we were seeing.

Booked a second one while on the first! Highly recommend using BigBen to see Accra!!
The booking experience was seamless, and Benjamin runs a very strict company. My guide Emmanuel was incredible, very knowledgeable and kind and I learned so much from him during the day! He also helped me with a couple of other things through the day like exchanging currency and trying some new foods. It is clear that he is very passionate about what he is showing tourists!! The tour itself was incredible and very safe. It was a good start to my trip to hear about how Ghana gained independence and the people and experiences that led to it as it was my first full day.
It was definitely 11/10 stars-so much so that I booked another tour with BigBen and Emmanuel again while I was on the existing tour, can’t wait to do more with their company in a few days!!!
I 100% recommend using this company if you are visiting Ghana, and the Accra history tour was very safe and well run and comprehensive!!!

It was really great! The tour guide Mr. T was great! He was really helpful to me personally. The tour itself was wonderful I loved the coca farm the best! And the restaurant we stopped at for lunch was the best meal I’ve had since I’ve been in Ghana! I recommend this tour!

Highly Recommended Experience
My friends and I were fortunate enough to have the experience of cooking with Auntie K. Her place was conveniently located in Accra and we were greeted with a warm welcome. We were asked to meet at 10 a.m. and I am grateful that she chose that time because it can get a bit warm cooking over an open flame in the peak heat of the day. However, there were trees for shade, we were given fresh coconut water, and ice cold water. All these things helped tremendously to keep us comfortable. We cooked grilled chicken, jollof rice, smoked tuna, cabbage, and kelewele. Each and every dish had amazing flavor and there was plenty of food to enjoy. I would definitely recommend this experience to other travelers.

Unique Tour of E- Recycling
Up close experience of recycling operation of discarded electronics, down to the copper, iron and aluminum metals. Includes walk through the community’s markets and neighborhoods. Eye opening. Terrific guide Mohammed who lives and works there. Viator guide Sadick was also great. Highly recommend.

Samuel
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.

Enjoyable and informative tour
My husband and I were picked up from our AirBnB apartment which was outside of the zone. This was appreciated and the minibus arrived on time and was clean and comfortable. The tour guide, Porscha, was personable, friendly and helpful throughout the tour. It was a great day of education about the history of Ghana and its culture.
The only suggestion would be to include a lunch break around 12-1pm as opposed to it being at the end of the tour.
Overall a great day.

Sunday shopping trip to Makola Market
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.

Cape Coast Guided Tour with a Kind and Engaging Host
The Cape Coast guided tour was a meaningful and memorable experience, made even better by Mensah’s (tour host) kindness, patience, and willingness to answer questions.
The site tours at Elmina Castle, Cape Coast Castle, and Kakum Park were rich, informative, and thoughtfully paced, offering important historical and cultural context that deepened the experience of visiting Cape Coast.
Tips for future travelers:
The ride to Cape Coast is quite long (4-5 hours depending on traffic & road conditions). When we traveled, there was ongoing road construction along parts of the route which made the ride very bumpy at times. I highly recommend bringing a small pillow for comfort, snacks and water, medication if you’re prone to motion sickness, and—most importantly—patience. The journey is well worth it, but being prepared will make it much more enjoyable.
Overall, this was an excellent tour led by a gracious and personable host. Highly recommended for anyone looking to explore the highlights of Cape Coast.

Sensational drum class
I had an absolutely amazing experience today. Jimmy Akiti is someone whose character is perfectly suited to teaching drumming. He is kind, calm and very helpful. I can highly recommend him to anyone who wants to have a truly special experience in Ghana.

Amazing tour w Vince
Vince was absolutely wonderful ! he carries a wealth of knowledge. this tour is exactly what i needed to better understand my roots. he’s relationship with the community in evident and throughout the experience his number one priority is to make sure you are comfortable, so
you can enjoy the tour. he continuously checks in to ensure you do not have any questions, so you are not listening to him or others speak the entire time. i enjoyed the mini pop quizzes he would give me to ensure i was paying attention lol! the food place we went to was absolutely delicious. that jollof was 10/10! i would definitely book other experiences with him. thank you so much, Vince!
