Our guide did a great job of describing the significance of each sight - I was pleasantly surprised by this tour! It was incredibly moving to visit the Assin Manso Slave River, and it improved my understanding of the effects of the slave trade. Our guide did a great job of describing the significance of each sight, and Daniel and Clinton Castle offered a wealth of historical information. The event flowed smoothly, giving us both time to take in the facts and think things through. If you are in Accra, do not miss this tour.

amazing tour - I can't say enough good things about this tour! Every detail, including pick-up and drop-off, was carefully planned. We were kept interested throughout the day by the guide's intense zeal. I gained a great deal of knowledge about Ghanaian history and culture. It is impossible to overlook Elmina Castle's historical background and Assin Manso's emotional impact. A must-do for anyone with an interest in compassion, culture, or history
