The tours where very enlightening and heart felt. Learning about Du Bois in the states made that tour more memorable in Ghana. Touring the slave castle brought a since of... read more sadness, humiliation, and aggrevation. Driving through the various communities was nice to see. Ghana/Africa is not what you see on TV. It's beautiful, it's full of entrepreneurs, it's developing. It's an experience of a lifetime. Tour guide David and Driver Francis were simply the best. They listened to all of our needs, wants, and strong opinions (13 of us) and accommodated us all. The restaurants Buka, Gulf Coast, Sandbox, Polo Club. Frankie's-very nice. Hotel Labadi was nice-be prepared for lots of festive during Christmas holiday season. For those with young adults (18-28) they would enjoy the action on the beach. Lancaster was away from the "strip" and somewhat quite. The casinos are small Millionaires and Caesars. We were able to exchange money. Some family ordered custom items arranged by David. #Landtours

  After spending months trying to organize my own tours and transport for my family’s trip to Ghana, I finally stumbled upon Land Tours and decided to book the package through... read more them. I am so glad I did! They saved me a lot of time and hassle, and it was well worth the money. They were super responsive both during the planning phase, upon our arrival, and when we were in Ghana. All we had to do was show up each day and be prepared to be curious and adventurous. The tour guide (David) and driver (Boakye) were fantastic! They made me feel safe and informed at all points of the trip, and they were kind, professional, and adapted well to my silly and jovial family. We felt like we had known them for months, and it will be hard to leave them. Personally, I am especially going to miss Boekye’s driving—he was both speedy and safe; I wish I could have him back at home with me to navigate the traffic on my way to work! And David was genuine and open-hearted and so passionate about his country; he really helped me learn to love Ghana. Now that I have told you about the vibe our our tour, let me tell you about the details. We did a customized 9 day tour, and we traveled ALL through Ghana—Mole, Accra, Tamale, and Kumasi. The days were action packed. We visited all the important sites in the Accra City Tour. Plus, did safari’s in Mole and Shai Hills. Mole was amazing!!! We actually stood about 20 feet away from 3 elephants. At Shai Hills we saw zebra and an ostrich that was fenced in, but it wasn’t like a “zoo” feeling—they seemed healthy and strong and they had plenty of space to roam. The hiking tour at Shai Hills was amazing! We were literally on top of a mountain, and the view was incredible. My children loved the Kintampo Waterfalls, but be careful because the rocks are slippery and I had a pretty bad fall. We did not feel comfortable on the canopy walk at Kintampo, but we did the one at Kakum. My kids LOVED it, and my husband and I were scared out of minds. But after you accomplish crossing all the canopy walks, the thrill of achievement is exhilarating. Definitely do it!! We also visited the Cape Coast Castle, which was incredibly sad but necessary to see. Assin River tour was spiritually healing and profound—I truly felt the presence of my ancestors’ energy in the river. Visiting the Asante Kingdom tour and the sites in Kumasi (the market and Ike’s Cultural Center) were also educational. I was inspired by the stories of Queen Mother Yaa, and the many other strong women and warriors among the Asante. We actually ended our tour on the last day back in Accra at Black Star Square and WEB Dubois’ House and Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park, so we wrapped up our tour with a sense of self-determination and unification. I have been to other countries in Africa that I have loved, but at Ghana I felt like I was home. It actually was a voyage of return, and I know I will be returning again and again.

  What an amazing trip! From the moment we arrived in Accra our guide was with us and took amazing care of us. We saw so many incredible things, ate so... read more much delicious food and met so many lovely people. My husband and I went for our 5th anniversary and we had asked if it would be possible to receive a love blessing from the Ashanti chief and queen when we visited their village. They coordinated everything and we had the most incredible anniversary I could imagine. Elvis and Daniel were funny and helpful. By the end of the trip we all felt like a big family. We asked a lot of questions about Ghanaian culture, politics and customs, and they were happy to explain everything. Our hotels were cozy and full of character. Seriously, our trip to Ghana will remain one of our favorite trips ever!

The care and patience our tour guide Stephen demonstrated and the expertise our driver Frances used as he safely navigated our group will forever be appreciated.

  My experience was great. Our tour guide Nana Ama Simpson was awesome. We also had an awesome driver Samuel. Very professional, polite and accessible.

  My trip to Ghana was an unforgettable experience that I will be processing for months, perhaps years, to come, but undoubtedly two of the key players who contributed to its... read more excellence were our tour guide, Elvis Wallace-Bruce, and our driver, Steven. Elvis was the most accommodating, positive, congenial, comforting and knowledgeable guide we could have possibly had. I can't think of a thing that he didn't do to try to make our trip as wonderful as possible--and he succeeded! We had a magical time. We were well fed, saw many historical sites with extremely knowledgeable docents at each site, had wonderful shopping opportunities, some "chill time," and great accommodations. It's difficult for me to fit everything into words but, suffice it to say, if I'm fortunate enough to return to Ghana, I'll be booking with Landtours again.
