Excellent tour and life experience - Very great experience with BigBen tours today! The drivers and tour guides were really great. The road to get to the Cape Coast is very long due to construction and traffic 3.5-4 hrs, however the experience and education from visiting the actual slave holdings and recognition of the lives lost during this dark time was beyond life changing. Would highly recommend.

Unforgettable, Emotional, and Insightful – A Must-Do Experience with Kofi and Big Ben Tours - We actually did 3-4 different tours with Kofi over a period of 3-4 days. From start to finish, our tours to Accra (City Tour), Botanical Garden’s, Waterfall, and Cape Coast with Kofi and Big Ben Tours was nothing short of exceptional. From the seamless hotel pick-up to the safe and comfortable ride and drop-off, every detail was handled with professionalism and care. Our guide, Kofi, truly made this experience unforgettable. He was patient but timely, kind, incredibly knowledgeable, and spoke with a passion that brought history to life. He and his guides’ deep insights into the emotional weight of the Cape Coast Castle, the haunting Door of No Return, and the powerful visit to Elmina Castle made this more than just a tour — it was a journey through history that we will never forget. Kofi created a safe space for us to ask questions, reflect, and truly understand the gravity and significance of what we were witnessing. His storytelling and respect for the history made all the difference. If you're considering this tour — don’t hesitate. Book with Big Ben Tours and ask for Kofi. It's emotional, educational, and 100% worth it. Thank you for an experience that will stay with us forever. Crystal

Heart felt 💔 - Big Ben 1GH tour company was very organized with great transportation. They went above and beyond even helping a coulple in our group obtain a Visa Upon Arrival after their passport was loat. The tour was extremely heart felt and very informative with additional guides with passionate historica context. I highly recommend Kofi as your tour guide and give BiG BEN 1GH an A+++

Unforgettable Cape Coast Experience – Seamless, Insightful, and Soulful - I had an incredible time on my Cape Coast tour with Ben and his driver Bismarck. From start to finish, the experience was seamless. They were kind, open, and genuinely passionate about sharing the local culture. I especially appreciated the thoughtful music they played throughout the journey, which set the tone and added to the immersive feel of the day. Pick-up was prompt, and while I had a bit of confusion on my end about the timing, everything was smoothed over quickly. I’d just recommend confirming the exact pick-up details in advance to avoid any miscommunication. Ben and his team took care of all entry fees, which made it easy to simply relax and enjoy each stop. Every site had its own dedicated guide with deep, unique knowledge, which added layers of richness to the experience. While lunch isn’t included, Ben ensures there’s a stop where your meal is ready and waiting—a nice touch that kept the day running smoothly. Highly recommend this tour if you want a well-organized, meaningful, and stress-free way to explore Cape Coast and its powerful history. 5 stars!

The Homecoming Experience... - The Homecoming Experience to Cape Coast and Elmina was powerful, emotional, and truly unforgettable. Walking through the castles and standing in the dungeons was deeply moving, an essential experience for anyone in the African diaspora. My tour guide, Emmanuel, was incredible, knowledgeable, thoughtful, and compassionate. He created a safe and respectful space to process the heavy history while still celebrating the resilience of our ancestors. Highly recommend this tour and Big Ben Tours if you’re visiting Ghana.

Wonderful tour - This tour was well organised and guided through the way. Emmanuel was a great laidback tour guide who made sure I got the best full experience of the tour. We also had a blast listening to afrobeats and chatting our way to Cape Coast and back. Thank you.
