Mixed Feelings at Cape Coast and Elmina Castle - We had a great day with BOA travels during our Cape Coast Historical day tour experience, our tour guide Xade was very knowledgeable and open minded, we first visited the kakum national park learnt more about the trees, birds, and animals that can be found in the park and did the canopy walk, its was nice experience walking on those suspended bridges whiles admiring nature, Cape Coast and Elmina Castle was kinda mixed emotions for me learning about the history about the Trans Atlantic slave trade, how our ancestors was treated inhumane and all the bad things they went through. All the same it's was nice experience getting to know about our history etc. I do recommend BOA travels for all your Ghana tours.

Great Motherland Experience - I did two tours with this Company Boansi travels, Visiting the slave Dungeons at Elmina and Cape Coast castle, learning about the inhuman atrocities our ancestors endured during the transatlantic slave trade was a mix feelings altogether. Not to forget about the Canopy walk at Kakum National park, learning about animals in the park, plants/trees and its medicinal benefits. I recommend Boansi travels and his team for making this happen. I had a great experience in the motherland.

A Memorable Trip to Ghana - Visiting Ghana for the first time with my wife with Boansi Travels was an unforgettable journey filled with both deep historical insights and natural beauty. Learning the history about the transatlantics slave trade in Cape Coast Elmina castle we learned about the resilience if our ancestors who endured unimaginable hardships. Standing in the dungeons and seeing the "Door of No Return" was a somber and thought-provoking experience.
Walking high above the bridges of the Kakum canopy walkway, the forest floor on the suspension bridges was both thrilling and peaceful. It was a wonderful way to connect with nature and reflect on the rich diversity Ghana has to offer.
Traveling from Nigeria, we found the experience not only educational but also deeply moving. Ghana is a country that holds an important place in the history of the African continent, and this trip gave us an opportunity to learn, reflect, and appreciate its beauty and resilience. It’s a journey we’ll always cherish. We recommend Boansi Travels and his team for making this trip a memorable one.

Wonderful Experience, I highly recommend - I had a wonderful experience on my travels with Boansi Travels. The travel service was full of information about the history of the 2 slave castles I toured it really was enlightenment. I also toured this park with a steep incline trail up a hill and we walked across suspended net walk bridges hundreds of feet above the forests. The service from my guide Zaid was so professional, informational and courteous. I recommend Boansi Travels above the rest.

Recommend! - Excellent day trip to the Cape Coast with Zaid from Boansi. Plan on 12-13 hours, but worth to effort to see the UNESCO sites outside of Accra. Zaid spoke perfect English and filled the travel time with stories about Ghana. We also broke up the trip with quick stops to get local street food along the way. Recommend!

Cape Coast/ Elmina Castle Day Tours - This was the 1st tour of our very first visit to Africa. The bar was set high by Zaid and Daniel. They were friendly and answered all our questions. Our tour guide at Cape Coast Castle, Isaac, was knowledgeable and passionate about conveying the truths our ancestors endured. Although going to the castles was an emotional adventure, it was enlightening.
I would highly recommend Boansi Travels if you plan to visit Accra. Their tours are personalized and informative and the staff are very friendly yet professional.
