I so enjoyed the full day with Stellar tours. He knew so much about Ghana history. We went to the bead market, checked out the three palm trees, walked 250 steps down to see the twim boti waterfalls (which we had to walk back up...????I have to get back in the gym????) sat under the umbrella stone for a spell while sipping on some refreshing palm wine (I could have taken a nap). Great experience and I would definitely recommend Stellar tours????

Exploring with NaNa , my sisters and I felt welcomed and with such a friendly atmosphere we had a fantastic start! The guide and tour was extremely good, very flexible (picked us up from hotel and dropped us back to hotel) and we were given water and snacks, for that he deserves a special thanks. We had a great day exploring learning about NaNa Kobina, going to learn about cape coast castle , listening to the history being told at Alamina castle and hiking in the Kakum national park. Nana was very attentive to everyone’s needs as we were on our tour. Nana is very knowledgeable about all the history. On the 3 or 4 hour drive to get to the activities he told us history on a lot of things. Nana has such a warm personality and highly motivated guide (recommendable!). My sisters and I enjoyed hiking up to the Kakum national park to reach the 6 bridges.The lunch (full plate of food) at the end was a delight and good it was a great way to end the tour. Nana made sure everyone in our group felt safe and informed on the days events. -Shawanda California, USA December 2019

We used Ghana city tours twice to take us on tours. Chris was our host for both trips. The drive was safe and also breath taking. Not only were the trips amazing, the trips were personalised and felt tailored to our requirements. Chris gave us an on route tour also, it was such a memorable experience, so much so we will be recommending and using Ghana city tours to take us on when we return.

The Volta lake is really beautiful and Akosombo dam most impressive. The baboos that we met on the road were my highlight of the day. Unfortunately the boat we wanted to take did not leave, but we could take a smaller one instead. The guide cared a lot, also bought local food for us, and made it a fantastic day.
