Accra in a Day with an Incredible Guide - If you’re looking to experience Accra in a day, look no further! From pickup to drop off, Vince will be an informative and inspiring guide with incredible insights on life in Ghana and how that manifests in the capital city of Accra. The transport around the city was comfortable and air conditioned - a nice relief from the warm weather outside.
Each stop was carefully selected to tell a story about the Ghana of today. There were guides at the individual museums to give a broad overview of the sites, but Vince’s additions made everything come to life in the current context. The market stop was also assisted by one of the merchant chiefs who escorted us through the many stalls and prevented some of the typical overwhelming tourist experiences. And of course, the shopping was fantastic.
Lunch was traditional Ghanaian food (delicious) accompanied by excellent conversation. Vince was eager to share more about his experience as a Ghanaian, and I felt truly welcomed to the country. I would highly recommend him for any trips around Ghana, and I can’t wait to go back for my next visit some day soon!

We absolutely LOVED this tour! - AMAZING. This tour is a must WHEN you come to Ghana 😉 The host Vince went above and beyond. He was knowledgeable, accommodating, kind, well organized and very professional! We loved all of the sights he took us too and the history we learned and got to see. We were also grateful for the private vehicle and the included lunch at Roots restaurant was so delicious!!

I had the best time in Ghana! Thanks to Vince - I thoroughly enjoyed my 1 day tour with Vince to get a feel of Ghanian history and culture. I was so delighted to learn a lot about such intriguing history. Vince was very kind , warm and patient to answer all my questions. He is quite knowledgeable about all things Ghana and I must say he takes the best pictures! I will recommend Mood of Hope tours a 1000 times over! Thank you so much Vince for helping me to create amazing memories of Ghana.

Vince was more than we bargained for! - We spent a week on a mission trip in Sierra Leone and had a long layover in Accra, Ghana on our way home. Instead of spending 12 hours in the airport we decided we would fill our time with something around town. Gotta be honest, finding Vince was much more than we bargained for. Our day in Accra did a lot more than fill our time: we had a rich and thorough history lesson on Ghana, a delicious lunch, a spiritually and emotionally heavy visit to a castle related to the slave trade, and one continuous delightful conversation throughout the day about Vince’s life. It was truly a terrific experience. Our goal is to stop again on another one of our trips to Sierra Leone and spend some more time with Mood of Hope tours going to see more of Ghana. Next time we’re going for waterfalls and monkeys. We highly recommend Vince and Mood of Hope tours. Also: don’t forgot to ask him about the source of his company name for a little added dash of inspiration.

Vince was the highlight of our trip to Ghana - Vince was the highlight of our trip to Ghana! From the minute I first contacted him, he was responsive, flexible and thorough. He customized tours to meet our schedule and to make sure we had the best experience. He made sure we were comfortable and added in so many extra touches (I mentioned I wanted to try something one day and a few hours later, Vince made it happen). Vince explained life in Ghana as we drove - he’s worked so hard to know both the history and current conditions and we learned so much in two days with Vince. If you’re thinking about booking a tour with Vince, don’t hesitate - you’ll be so glad you did.

Friendly tour through Accra - Vince did a wonderful job giving my colleagues and I a tour of the city - he was knowledgeable, friendly, and professional! He even had ice cold water bottles ready for us in the air conditioned car to help combat the heat between stops.

Vince's City Tour - We went on the Accra City Tour with our tour guide Vince, who gave us a friendly introduction to himself, his role, and a brief overview of what to expect from the tour. We were well prepared for a long and exciting day. Our first stop was to the National Museum of Ghana, where we learnt about Ghana’s rich heritage. The National Museum showcases an extensive collection of artefacts. We drove through the very busy and long Makola Market, looking at the hustle and bustle of everyday people buying and selling everything from clothing and jewelery to traditional crafts and fresh produce. Our next stop was to the Kwame Nkrumah Museum. I love this man, so it was an honour learning more about Ghana's first president. The museum is set in a beautiful park with statues and artefacts that make it a great place to take memorable photographs. We also took great pictures from the top of Independence Square (Black Star Square) monument site. Big shout out to the photographer. Our next visit was to the Art Market. There's so much to see and buy. Make sure you have your bartering skills polished. We stopped off for lunch, where we enjoyed some tasty local quisine before our final stop, the W.E.B. Du Bois Center. A small and intimate visit to the home of the great man. All in all, it was a beautiful day exploring Accra, which was made all the more enjoyable with our tour guide. Thank you so much, Vince.
