I enjoyed Ghana Jollof better. Ghana is a beautiful country, has good food and nice People. I love how the artifacts were displayed at the Ghana national museum.

This was a great tour in Accra. We visited Dubois center, Black star square, Kwame Nkrumah mausoleum and the arts center. I got to buy a lot to Ghanian prints, beaded and slippers for my family and friends back home. Rashida really did well bargaining to get me the best prices for the things I got. We got some Banku and Tilapia at Chop shop in Osu when we were done. Overall it was a great day and Pro Tour Africa made it worth my time.

This was a good tour experience overall. My guide was Suwaibah. She coordinated my airport pickup, and accompanied me throughout the tour. Each stop was a good experience. The driver did a good job too. Only minor criticism is that Suwaibah was very soft spoken, which made it difficult to hear her at times. They dropped me off at my hotel afterwards, as promised.The Accra City Tour with ProTour Africa was a perfect way for my partner and I to enjoy Accra city.
