Great experience. - Foster was the absolute best. He communicated prior to pick. He was on time. He also explained about construction and the delay it would cause. He made sure all the needs were met and ensured my satisfaction. He also gave information, perspective, and history along the way. As well as answered all questions. The tours themselves were very informative and exactly what I had hoped to get out of them and more. Would definitely recommend. Ask for Foster if you can.

Journey back to the land of our ancestors - Unforgettable experience with a very friendly and attentive Freedom escort. The visit to the River of No Return was a highlight I will never forget. Well thought out and well organized tour. To do without hesitation

Book the Trip! - For the past five years I’ve been studying my ancestry and I believe this trip is a necessity for everyone in the African diaspora. The long drive from my hotel to Slave River was so worth it for the wealth knowledge you receive from the tour guides. Jeff was a great driver and accommodating to my family needs. If you’re debating which castle to go to, Elmina is a must.

Amazing Tour! - What a memorable day on this tour with the excellent guide, Freedom! He was on time, so knowledgeable, and Kadelo Travels was very communicative. Being a solo female traveler on this tour, most importantly, I felt safe. This is a heavy tour but so important to see, and I’m so glad I did. I left Assin Manso and Cape Coast Castle deep in thought and contemplation. I chose the canopy walk as the third destination, but you could pick from either that or Elmina Castle. Freedom was so knowledge and shared the Ghanaian hospitality I’d heard so much about. Thank you guys for an amazing, eye-opening tour! I will use Kadelo Travels whenever I returned to Ghana.

Overall Good Tour, No Complaints - Arranged hotel pickup via WhatsApp the day before. Saw the Slave River, Elmina Castle, and Cape Coast Castle. Powerful experience that was definitely worth it. Driver answered questions along the way and was very knowledgeable. Each historical site had good guides as well. We opted not to visit the national park.

The history and... - The history and significance of the Slave River and Castles were palpable and powerful. However the knowledge and flexibility of the guide along with the cleanliness of the transportation were less than desirable. Although this is not the accountabilty of the tour operator visitors should be alerted to the fact that because of road conditions the 95 mile drive can take 4 to 5 hours.
