  • Elmina Castle, Elmina, Ghana
    At Elmina Castle, travelers will step into one of the oldest and most significant European buildings in sub-Saharan Africa. Built by the Portuguese in 1482, this historic fortress later became a major hub for the transatlantic slave trade. Visitors will explore dark, narrow dungeons where enslaved Africans were held, walk through the "Door of No Return," and stand in the governor’s quarters that starkly contrast with the suffering below. Guided tours provide powerful stories of resilience and resistance, offering deep insight into the human impact of slavery. The castle's seaside location also provides a hauntingly beautiful backdrop for reflection, making the visit a profound and emotional journey through history.

It was a fantastic tour - both informative and touching. The guides were extremely knowledgeable and was able to answer all questions, while also giving us time to reflect on what was said. Kwame at Assin Manso was superb. I highly recommend this tour; it's a heartbreaking but necessary tour.

The absolute worst experience! No one came to pick my friend and I up for the tour. My friend and I called multiple times and sent various messages, however, no one responded ???? I received an email 2 hours and 40 minutes after the pickup time to apologize for no one showing up! In addition, the email suggested that I may not receive a refund if they decided not to process a refund ???? such bull sh*t! Do NOT book with this company, complete scam and extremely unprofessional!! ????????????

Nii was an amazing guide! At the beginning of our journey he set the tone of our tour with powerful message of remembrance and honoring our ancestors. The full day tour began very early and so he ensured we had a proper breakfast to start our day. The visit to the Ancestral Slave River was very moving. After the river we visited Kakum National Park. I was nervous crossing the canopy trail, but Nii was very supportive and helped encourage me across the trail! We then went to the Slave Castles, which as you can imagine was a very emotional experience. After the castles we enjoyed a pleasant lunch on the beach where Nii helped us order delicious traditional Ghanaian dishes! If you are planning to visit Ghana, I highly recommend you book with Nii as he was a wonderful guide with great energy and vast knowledge of this beautiful country!
