It was a fantastic tour - both informative and touching. The guides were extremely knowledgeable and was able to answer all questions, while also giving us time to reflect on what was said. Kwame at Assin Manso was superb. I highly recommend this tour; it's a heartbreaking but necessary tour.

The absolute worst experience!
No one came to pick my friend and I up for the tour. My friend and I called multiple times and sent various messages, however, no one responded 😐
I received an email 2 hours and 40 minutes after the pickup time to apologize for no one showing up!
In addition, the email suggested that I may not receive a refund if they decided not to process a refund 😳 such bull sh*t!
Do NOT book with this company, complete scam and extremely unprofessional!! 😤😡🤬
Response from Host, Jan 2025
Hello, I had my bookings synchronized with my bookings calendar and unfortunately for some reason I missed out on her booking which I apologized for and sent her a screenshot of the refund because I would never keep her money.
It’s so unfair that you will write such an evil review to destroy my livelihood simply because of a technical issue even though your friend has been refunded.

Nii was an amazing guide! At the beginning of our journey he set the tone of our tour with powerful message of remembrance and honoring our ancestors.
The full day tour began very early and so he ensured we had a proper breakfast to start our day. The visit to the Ancestral Slave River was very moving.
After the river we visited Kakum National Park. I was nervous crossing the canopy trail, but Nii was very supportive and helped encourage me across the trail!
We then went to the Slave Castles, which as you can imagine was a very emotional experience.
After the castles we enjoyed a pleasant lunch on the beach where Nii helped us order delicious traditional Ghanaian dishes!
If you are planning to visit Ghana, I highly recommend you book with Nii as he was a wonderful guide with great energy and vast knowledge of this beautiful country!

Learning the actual history that is not always shared in America, and meeting new people. Going through the castles was a great experience.

This tour went wayyyy beyond my expectations! Parts of the trip were extremely emotional (slave river and dungeons). Others parts were super fun, such as the National park and a nice lunch on a beautiful beach. For the National park make sure you stay hydrated and wear good fitting shoes. I do not recommend sandals or flip flops Nii was the PERFECT tour guide. He was knowledgeable about every attraction we visited and made sure he explained everything in a way that was easy to understand. Nii has a great personality and I felt completely safe with him as a single female traveler from the States. He makes sure your tour is comfortable and enjoyable! I highly recommend!

Nii was AMAZING. He was patient, understanding, and always ready to be flexible for you. He was knowledgeable and kind, always. The 4 stops were amazing and filled with information and amazing guides. This tour is a must for people of African descent. This was a highlight of our time here in Ghana.
