Cape Coast Tour - My family and I had a wonderful experience. Daniel and Kwame are very knowledgeable. They consider the needs of the individual customer and work to accommodate them. I would certainly recommend them for excursions

Such professionalism! - Really great tour! I went alone and the guys (Daniel and Daniel) were very professional and respectful. They arrived on time to collect me from my hotel which is always a good sign! The arrangements they made with all the guides at the three locations was excellent and everything ran smoothly. It is a very long journey to the Cape Coast from Accra and many of the roads are quite bad (exacerbated by the fact that road repairs were taking place for a very long section of the journey after you left Accra and through the Central Region) so the ride in the car was very bumpy! However, throughout the journey to and back to my hotel I felt in safe hands! I would highly recommend this tour to everyone who wants to know more about the slavery and colonial history of Ghana with a well-organised and professional company. Thank you Daniel and Daniel and if I visit Ghana again I will definitely book with this tour company!

The great storytelling brought the historical sites to life, and I felt a deeper connection with the history of Ghana. The tour was well-paced, and I appreciated how the agency handled everything smoothly. Will definitely book again!

My most important journey to connect with my roots - The experience is. It easy to describe as it involves heartfelt emotions. The tour guide Daniel was always trying to be helpful. It’s a long drive yet it with every second of the “journey”. Daniel also helped out with assisting the shopping from local cultural stores and people. Highly recommend tour/lifetime experience.

Amazing experience, amazing tour guides - This experience was one of the best experiences of our lives. We learned so much, and the experience would not have been as meaningful with out our tour guide, Daniel. All of the staff was amazing, and really seemed to care about accommodating us and giving the most amazing experience. Daniel went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable, had everything we needed and enjoyed ourselves. Ask for Daniel!!!

Journey Back In Time - James was an excellent tour guide who was very knowledgeable about the slave castles that we visited, and he was most knowledgeable about the significance of the Assin Manso Slave River. The experiences were powerful.
