About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- preciousa4680 contributionsTHE ABSOLUTE BEST TOUR GUIDEBernice was my tour guide and not only was she amazing, she was very knowledgeable about the history. She took my pictures and videos and gave me the best experience ever. She worked with Emmanuel and he’s such a careful driver that my mother had to commend his driving. Please book this tour and you won’t regret.Written 30 January 2025
- W3159QWjasonm0 contributionsAccra City Tour with BerniceI was lucky to have Bernice assigned as my tour guide for the Accra city your. The wonderful tour of Accra couldn’t have been better without her presence. She was overtly pleasant, acute, and knowledgeable with the rich history of Ghana and its ethic peoples. Be prepared to learn as she makes the trip intuitive and engaging, asking questions along the way to make sure that you are grasping the tour itself. Her hospitality and welcoming aura was much appreciated from start to finish. Thank you, Bernice.Written 25 January 2025
- PiaChristina0 contributionsAn unforgettable experience exploring GhanaWe had an incredible two-day tour of Accra and Cape Coast, thanks to our amazing guide Emmanuel. He was extremely knowledgeable, sharing the rich history of Ghana, Accra, and the various regions and cultures of the country. His professionalism stood out, as he safely drove us around and tailored the itinerary to fit our schedule perfectly. Emmanuel was open to all our questions, no matter how many we asked, and his flexibility made the trip even more enjoyable. What really added to the experience was his fun and vibrant personality—playing afrobeats throughout the journey, which made the trip even more memorable. If you’re looking for someone who combines expertise, professionalism, and a good sense of fun, I highly recommend Emmanuel. Our time exploring Ghana was unforgettable, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience!Written 19 January 2025

Bernice was our tour guide and could not have been more wonderful and knowledgeable. She picked us up from the airport with our driver upon arrival and we made 6-7 stops throughout the city over a 6 to 7 hour time in an air-conditioned very comfortable van.

I went on the Accra city tour with Ben in January 2020. Our pick up was prompt and Ben had all the knowledge that was expected of a tour guide. Our tour was of the WEB Du Bois center, Kwame Nkrumah national park, Mercola market, Jamestown and we were even able to visit a school in Jamestown which was amazing. Ben was very knowledgeable of all of Ghana’s history and was able to provide a lot of insight to the questions asked. All in all the tour was well worth the money spent and I would recommend Ben to anyone traveling to Ghana who would like to have a more personal approach to the country’s history.

Ben was incredible! The ceremony was an experience unimaginable. We thought it would just be a tap on the head and dressed in garb. It was so much more! We actually engaged with elders from the town to perform traditions.
Another surprise and much appreciated was Ben’s videography and photography skills. Without us asking Ben took over and captured special moments throughout the entire tour.
Will definitely recommend him to any and everyone I know visiting Accra.
Side bar: definitely pack snacks. It’s definitely a road trip.

We were with Ben (aka Kofi because he was born on a Friday) for two full days! We booked the Kumasi tour. We enjoyed the Kumasi Village and Naming ceremony so much we booked with Ben to visit the Assin Manson Slave River Site where the slaves were given their last bath before heading to the Castles. We then went straight to Elmina and Cape Coast Castles. For both tours Ben never missed a beat and was very accommodating as far as becoming our personal photographer and tending to anything else we needed! He is also very well versed on the history of Ghana and was able to answer any questions that we had. Will definitely use Ben the next time we return. Thanks Ben for making our stay in Ghana a memorable one!!!

Ben was a wonderful guide on time both days. The ride is a bit long so bring something to keep you occupied. The whole experience of making Adinkra, Kente, and the naming ceremony was something I’ll never forget. You will not be disappointed.
We also did the Accra day tour. Again worth it. The market was an experience in its own.

This tour was a bit emotional for our group, specifically during the naming ceremony, for we felt like we were really welcome home and connected with the ancestors. Thank you Ben for facilitating such unforgettable moments.
