My guide kweku is very knowledgeable and informed me of everything I wanted and needed to know about the culture and history of Ghana! I also learned about the process of the naming ceremony,the connection of the music and the process/rites of passage for girls before I was given my Ghanian name. If you are looking to reconnect with your roots or are just curious about the history and Culture you MUST experience this tour. Thank You Kweku for all.

Bless was a great tour guide! Part of my trip was solo and she made sure she was consistently present to show me everything from markets, clubs and hair stylists. Bless’s talks were very informative for every location we went to! I would definitely recommend Bless for your tour.
