I so enjoyed the full day with Stellar tours. He knew so much about Ghana history. We went to the bead market, checked out the three palm trees, walked 250 steps down to see the twim boti waterfalls (which we had to walk back up...????I have to get back in the gym????) sat under the umbrella stone for a spell while sipping on some refreshing palm wine (I could have taken a nap). Great experience and I would definitely recommend Stellar tours????

I did a bespoke 11 day trip that built on the 8 day cultural tour. Yaw was my tour guide and Kobby my driver. We set about criss crossing the country and it was a trip filled with lots of adventure, fun and nice surprises. They tailored the trip to what I really wanted to do, including hiking and meeting local people and experiencing the culture and food in the localities. It was lots of fun, I always felt safe, and there was never a dull moment. Yaw arranged for some cool tunes to always be playing in the car which just added to the experience! I came during covid and they were happy to wear masks and take the necessary protocols. We aways had a box of masks in the car. Don't forget to bring hand sanitizer, though there were also plenty of hand washing stations set up everywhere. Don't hesitate, just book, come expecting to experience a new culture and see interesting places. Remember to remain flexible, laid back and open to be experiences which will make your trip even more enjoyable!

9. Beyond the Year of Return the Diaspora Dividend Tour 2020

Eyali Tours

In August 2019, exactly 400 years after the arrival of the first recorded landing of a slave ship in Virginia, which saw the acceleration of the horrendous Middle Passage, hundreds of descendants of former enslaved Africans will make a triumphant return to the land of our ancestry. The trip will take us to Ghana: the land of Kwame Nkrumah-the father of Ghana’s independence and a co-founder of the Organization of African Unity; the country where the great pan-Africanist Dr W. E. B. DuBois spent his final years; the land where Ashanti Kings still hold court and mediate disputes in time-honoured traditions passed down through generations; the land that has preserved more slave dungeons used in the transatlantic slave trade than any other country on the continent. Ghana was the first sub-Saharan African country to gain its independence from Europeans and is today a thriving democracy, yet its traditions, customs and culture are almost undiluted.

Inclusions: Air-conditioned vehicle, Fuel surcharge, Entrance fees to all tourist site, Accommodation
