• 5Great and must-do day outing

  My daughter and I had a great day with our driver Hamza and guide Hamdu. The drive was comfortable and we had a few local snacks along the way. The canapy walk was fun and Hamdu took lots of photos for us while we walked the bridge. Then we saw the two castles and learned a lot about the terrrible conditions the slaves endured. It was interesting and educational. We had a local Ghana lunch too and a little time to shop. This is a must-do trip when visiting Ghana, and I highly recommend Kwame tours. We were able to arrange it only the day before too, so many thanks for accommodating us on such short notice.

• 5Must see! And well taken care of.

  Awesome trip despite the traffic due to road construction. Helpful and fun guide and driver. The castles are a must see for the historical significance with slave trafficking - never again. And Kakum Canopy Walk is amazing.

• 5You must go

  This tour exceeded our expectations. Our guides (Hamza and Hamdou .. sp?) were personable and patient. They purchased for us street snacks when we asked to stop. Conversation on the way was interesting and we learned a lot. Saturday is an important day for gatherings outside the city so consider this if you do your tour on that day. This will add to your drive time. The van was comfortable with good suspension to tackle the challenging roads. The castles are a heavy emotional experience but if you are going to Ghana for history you cannot miss this piece of it. Through those places passed the people whose forced labor built so much of the "new world." Many entered without leaving alive. They deserve a visit. You should go and Kwame Tours can take you!

  The trip was very lengthy and took longer than expected but the view into the local region and its history was awesome.

About Accra

Accra, Ghana's capital on the Gulf of Guinea, mixes colonial forts, independence monuments, busy markets, beach bars and a famed music scene.

Accra lines the Atlantic coast, and its older districts keep the character of a trading port. In Jamestown, an old fishing quarter, a lighthouse stands beside Dutch and British forts, and boxing gyms spill onto the lanes. Black Star Square, with its Independence Arch, and the Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park honour Ghana's first president and independence in 1957, while the W. E. B. Du Bois Centre remembers the writer who spent his final years here.

Top-ranked sights in Accra: Kwame Nkrumah Mausoleum and Memorial Park, W. E. B. Du Bois Memorial Centre for Pan-African Culture, Makola Market.
