- Educational Tour of Ghana (A Journey Through History and Culture)
It is well planned and well coordinated, with hotels and tours. We were very much looked after with guide, Prince and driver. It was very interesting; we saw and enjoyed all the highlights. We had stimulating conversations with Prince who had an excellent understanding of his country. He did everything he could to make us feel welcome and comfortable.
