Unless poor communication and inconsideration are your thing when paying for an experience, then Tastemakers Africa is not the company for you. I booked a "December in Ghana" trip with Tastemakers Africa, which was supposed to be filled with various cultural experiences, but the entire trip was completely disorganized and there was a serious lack of communication by trip organizers. Being promised a better experience due to a lesson learned by the CEO of Tastemakers Africa I decided to give the company another chance. To my dismay I was seriously disappointed to learn the poor communication and disorganization was still a major attribute of Tastemakers Africa. Although this company obviously hasn't learned their lesson in conducting good business and customer service (evidenced by repeated poor business behavior/practices), I certainly learned my lesson. Take it from me, the headache that comes with booking with Tastemakers is not worth it.

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.
