Everything about our trip to Ghana was perfect from our tour guide Gideon sharing his knowledge of Ghana history, to him coordinating multiple excursions as well as planning our dinners... read more family style for the 7 days that we were there. All of the food was excellent. Some people in our group even had private excursions. They wanted to do outside of our group 12 and Gideon kindly accommodated. Any question we had he was there to answer on top of all of that his personality and charisma and sense of humor is unmatched! I would definitely not only recommend but also book with Land tours again and I also recommend you ask specifically for Gideon.

We have decided to go to Ghana at least once a year!

  General: Successful expedition, reaching the 3 highpoints of the countries

Car: Good car, we could have managed with a smaller one. Some of the roads could have been difficult... read more if we had rain, but we managed without 4WD

Hotels: Trouble at all places. They did not have 3 beds at any of the places, but it was fixed after some waiting tme. Swimming pool only available in Accra. In Abomey they only have one room with one bed and no aircondition. We refused to stay there, and after a while they had fixed another hotel. In Kara and Abomey we ended up with 2 of us in beds and one sleeping on a madrass on the floor.

Guide in Ghana: Average. It was a great experience for him to get to the highpoint of Ghana, so I think he is happy

Guide in Togo/Benin: Poor. He did not meet up at the Togo border, then he was in Lome. We met him at Agou. He did not know the route, and had trouble finding the way. No map, only a phone with GPS, that did not work at all locations. I also had a feeling that he was not able to read the GPS map on his phone properly. Luckily I had downloaded a map for most of the route to my Garmin GPS, and that helped us. In some areas I did not have a good map on my GPS. In these situations they had to stop and ask people along the road. The guide misleaded us several times, and I had to check and correct. His english was not the best, even if he was an english teacher.

Driver: Excellent. He really did the job for us on this trip. Very good driving on all type of roads at any time. Day 3 was very long. We started early and had a long drive on difficult roads up to the Ghana peak. Then some trouble with wrong navigation around Agou due to mistakes from the guide. Very long drive up to Kara, ending up in the dark just before Kara. There the guide leaded us to a road with oneway traffic coming against us over a bridge. We got stuck on the bridge and had to reverse with traffic coming towards us, and a lot of motorbikes coming from behind on this narrow bridge. I admire the driver for staying calm in such a situation, especially after 12 hours on the road with very small breaks. He also had to cover up for the mistakes done by the guide in Togo/Benin. Actually he was the guy that fixed everything in Togo/Benin, and we would have done better without the guide.

Value for money: I think the trip was very expensive, and we had expected more quality, especially regarding the hotels. When arriving at a hotel after a long day, hungry and tired, we no not want trouble with the rooms.

  The experience with Land Tours this week was nothing short of AMAZING. Mainly because we had an amazing team with the dynamic duo our tour guide David and driver... read more Boakye. They were always early to pick us up and they made sure we were taken care of in every aspect of our tour, even down to helping us negotiate for the best prices at the markets. One of the things that stood out the most and we really appreciate is all of the photos and videos that David took of us during our tours so that we could be present in the moments. He air dropped them to us after is was over and we were blown away with all of the memories that we now have captured forever. And GOOD pictures and videos too!!! We will never further this trip. We are so happy that our travel agent, McNeill Luxury booked us with Land Tours for our Ghana pilgrimage. Highly recommend. Could not recommend them more!
