    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.

    We did the 10 Educational Tour and our guide, Prince was amazing! We got a first hand introduction about Ghana's history from the various cities we visited, and our guide himself who was quite knowledgeable about Ghana's history. In addition to the history we got to experience the culture, lifestyles and nightlife. Prince catered to our every need, making sure we saw and did everything we wanted. He even solicited our opinions on what would make the tour better. Neither of us could think of anything more. We even had our hair braided while there, and shopped until we dropped. The hotels we stayed at were all very nice Ghanian hotels, all with their distinct Ghanian characteristics. The staff in each were extremely accomodating. I am still recuperating from the whirlwind adventure we experienced in Ghana. I would wholeheartedly recommend this tour for any and everyone. You will not be disappointed!

    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.

    My experience was quite memorable. I was impressed mostly with the faces of the Ghanian people. Their faces radiate warmth, beauty & humility. I felt at peace being around them. I admire greatly their driving skills and their tolerance for each other. They are adept at sharing the roads & displaying a kind of respect for each other that is admirable whether one is driving, biking or walking. The places I toured were interesting, depressing as well as educational. Ghana is a developing country and I look forward to beholding its improvements in a few years.

    The Ghana Educational tour was the best vacation I have ever had. Our tour guide Prince made the custom experience unforgettable. He and our driver, David were so hospitable to our group and felt like family! Our group learned so much and enjoyed every moment. I will definitely use Olives Travels and Tour for all of my future travels in West Africa! ❤️❤️
