I booked this tour with three of my friends from New York. Frank met us at our home in Accra promptly at the time he said we would start. He’s very personable, knowledgeable about Accra and very receiving of any of our questions or needs during our time together. We enjoyed our day in Jamestown, seeing Ghana up close. Frank took us to the market where we bought souvenirs and later took us to a location to enjoy our lunch after seeing the sights of the city. I highly recommend Frank for all of your tour needs. Our only regret was prior to coming, we didn’t know Frank did more tours to other parts of Ghana and we would have certainly loved to have had the opportunity to partake in those tours as well. I can’t recommend Frank any higher for your city tour of Accra and Ghana at large. It was an absolute pleasure and I hope to return again soon.Excellent guided tour of Old Accra and the city! Our guide was very knowledgeable. Something like a historian! We really lucked up on a great guide. He was also very patient with us as we shopped..he also took photos for us. Ot was great! Thanks so much!!

I went with some friends to Ghana for the Year of Return. Before leaving for Ghana, Frank kept in touch with me via WhatsApp to let me know what to expect, when and where we will be picked up, and to ensure the older gentleman in our group would be able to manage the day. Frank was a lively tour guide and even helped us haggle in the market. There is a bit of walking but we had a 70-year-old and an 8-year-old who were able to keep up. We all truly enjoyed this day and meeting our new friend Frank!
