My friends and I went on this ecotourism adventure in Ghana and it was smoooooooth. We basically had just 3 emails between Timeh tours and us for us to book with them. They really had great ideas and sites in mind just to suit our needs and for that we were willing to pay. Our guide Mike and driver Jojo were professional in their handling and gave us exactly what Eric promised us through our email conversations. What was an extra sell for us was the fact that even after booking, Eric kept on checking with us if we needed any other services prior to our arrival.

When we met our tour guide, Timothy Dadgie at the airport in Accra, our tour began immediately and continued until he returned us to the airport for our departure home on Oct, 11th. He always made us feel right at home, accommodating us always with a smile. His knowledge of the amazing/powerful historical sites, local activities such as shopping and bartering at the markets, selection of local meals and enjoying some night life was “spot on”!! And I can’t forget the beautiful beach!! I am so very fortunate to have had this opportunity to visit/tour “HOME” and the memory is embedded in my mind, heart and soul forever. Thank you Timeh Tours and Timothy D. for my opportunity if “Coming Home”!! P.S. I’ll be back!Highlight of review: This trip to Ghana changed my life!

Highlight of review: This trip to Ghana changed my life! Ghana for a long time has been flirting with my mind as I wanted to take the trip for missing out on the Year of Return. I finally took the trip by booking with Timeh Tours Ghana after reading they are a young company with years of experience. Who wouldn’t want to support a young company become the best at what they do? So yes I booked with them and from the initial email to booking and concluding my tour was PROFESSIONALLY done. I got the chance to connect with my African heritage and culture through sites that were picked to ensure I experienced these such as Cape Coast castle, Ashanti Kingdom, traditional villages with beautiful vegetations, Slave Cemetary, Independence Square. I wish I could only do more on my tour but I didn’t have enough time but this tour was more than enough. Thank you for your hard works Timeh Tours Ghana.The perfect tour doesn’t exist I thought.
