    Educational Tour of Ghana - 10 Days, September 2024. Our trip to Ghana has provided memories which we will cherish always. The itinerary was fast paced, varied, educational and exciting. At the end of each day, however we had time to rest and reflect. Our guide Jordan and Emmanuel (our driver) were exceptional. They were not only protective and informative but even found rest spots for us on the long journey between Cape Coast and Kumasi. Comfortable hotels and spacious air-conditioned transportation rounded out our experience. We were particularly happy to be able to choose our meals. Ghanaian food is tasty, varied, colourful but spicy. Overall, Prince our tour operator has provided a tour which we highly recommend. Trevor and Joan.

    Deep appreciation to Prince for the obvious care and effort he put into a very well organised program and for his kind hospitality. Sincere thanks to Emanuel, our driver, and Jordan our tour guide for making this experience so unforgettable. Jordan went beyond the call of duty in satisfying our every need and to protect us. We will be forever indebted to him for making this journey such an indelible one.

    tour guide Prince was very professional and dependable, always prompt and clear to communicate. He made sure that my experience to Ghana was very informative and an experience of lifetime. Our hotel stays was very accommodative for my needs and I felt safe & secured. I would highly recommend this tour.

    I had a great experience with my guide, Jordon. He communicated effectively and was always on time and let me know what the plan was for the day. He answered all of my questions and assisted me with anything I needed. I had a wonderful trip to Ghana. If you’re on the fence about booking, please book! It will be worth it

    There were good points to this tour and very bad ones. I have a policy of if I don't have any thing good to say then don't but on this occasion I am going to say it like it was. There was 3 of us in our group. First thing our Itinerary on the first day was changed with out explanation, when we ask why lame excuse were given. Seeing the sights around Accra was fine in a saloon car for 3 persons but going out of the city it was nightmare (potholes). After long talks and request a more suitable vehicle was provided. The hotels that were provided were not 4stars but 2-3 stars. One of the accommodation provided was a villa that was not fully finished to receive guest. No towels, toilet paper cups or plates. On this tour all breakfast provided but they wanted us to pay for that we flatly refused. Theres more I could say but thats enough. Please be careful booking with this company. Ghana is beautiful but when you have to deal with people like OliveTours it can leave a bad taste.
