What people love about Ghana Tours from Accra
- Thrills in Ghana
My son and I spent a week in Ghana in February 23 and had a fabulous time with the ProTour team. They were all extremely professional and enthusiastic. We did several trips during our stay, all very well organised and an abundance of information. Their air conditioned cars were very comfortable and the driver and guide were always punctual when picking us up from the hotel. Communication was very easy and Rashida was always available throughout our stay.
- 7 day Culture & History Tour in Ghana
Good overview to some of the highlights of Ghana. Emmanuel was a conscientious, intelligent guide who patiently answered all my questions and made the tour very enjoyable. Only complaint was some of the hotels were substandard- no hot water, ineffective AC, remote locations, dark rooms and noisy. Hotels at the resort and golden hill Parker were much better than others.
- Educational Tour of Ghana (A Journey Through History and Culture)
It is well planned and well coordinated, with hotels and tours. We were very much looked after with guide, Prince and driver. It was very interesting; we saw and enjoyed all the highlights. We had stimulating conversations with Prince who had an excellent understanding of his country. He did everything he could to make us feel welcome and comfortable.
