A Well-Planned Day with a Knowledgeable Guide

Brenna_S, Jan 2025

This experience and our wonderful tour guide Bernice were incredible! All the stops around the city were interesting, educational, and well worth visiting. Bernice was very knowledgeable about everywhere we stopped, and it was a joy to spend the day with her. The visit to the craft market was particularly memorable, and it would've been extremely difficult to navigate without Bernice. She was very helpful, kept an eye on all our party members, helped with haggling, and helped keep the more determined hawkers off of us. I highly recommend this experience!

Our individual private...

Michelle_L, Jul 2024

Our individual private tour guide was awesome! He knew so much about the history of Ghana and when we were in the museums he added to the existing exhibits. Tour guides are so friendly and helped me take pictures at each location! Tour took us about 4-5 hours to complete and loved every minute.

A excellent introduction to the city

Peter_M, Apr 2024

This was a ideal introduction to Accra and we visited all the main sights, either stopping or driving by. Emmanuel was a very knowledgeable guide

Response from Host, Jul 2024

Thanks for your kind words! We're glad Emmanuel's expertise enhanced your Accra experience. We hope to see you again soon

Very busy day of activities

Lindsay_A, Oct 2022

Jamestown tour was best part of trip!. There is a decent amount of walking and alot of information covered. An improvement would be being more aware of your clients especially when going thru the busy marketplace and when hecklers approach. Also be aware there are portions of tour where others aside from your main tour guide will give supplemental tours, although you're not obligated to tip, be prepared that you may also be nudged to give additional donations. Overall great experience and way to get a high level overview of Accra.

Thank you for your review we look forward to with with you again!!!

Scam all the way, number switched off!

Courtney_J, Apr 2022

The company never showed up and the number was switched off, do not use this service. It is not legit!

Response from Host, May 2022

Sorry for the late response, Skyway safari & tours Ghana have been running for two years with no negative review from clients, The team behind Skyway has been excellent from day this company started. Sorry we couldn't respond to you on time. We had issues with our network here. Sorry.

Cool tour guide

Renee_G, Feb 2020

This tour was really enlightening and pretty easy going. Our tour guide, Emmanuel picked us up from our hotel and drove us around Accra while he talked about important buildings and statues. We stopped at all the stops mentioned in the “what to expect” and even though the tour was on a Sunday, we still walk/drove through places that are typically closed on Sundays. Emmanuel took us inside and on top of the Independence Square. We walked through Dr Nkrumah’s memorial/museum and stopped by the James Port prison. The food selected for lunch was pretty good, as was the restaurant that sat alongside the water. Emmanuel was happy to answer all of our questions and entertain our side comments.

Response from Host, Feb 2020
