Free walking tours in Accra

Emmanuel had a deep level of knowledge of Jamestown and all the history of it. We visited many different places and met many of the local people on the tour. We didn't see any fishing as advertised and the walk was 4hr 30mins rather than 2hr 30mins as I was told. Overall I would highly recommend doing the tour with Emmanuel.

Es war super spannend mehr über die Ga-People zu erfahren. Emmanuel ist selbst Teil der Community und es ist schön diese Identifikation zu erfahren. Für einen Tour-Guide hätte ich mir manchmal etwas mehr Rollenklarheit gewünscht im Sinne von einer professionellen Distanz in bestimmten Situationen. Für meine Teenager-Tochter war es zum Beispiel eher unangenehm, dass sie irgendwelchen Männern die Hand geben sollte und diese dann sehr den Körperkontakt gesucht haben.

Well prepared and very kind guide, exciting and insightful tour of James Town

The guide Emmanuel is super professional, he takes you through a unique route you wouldn't have access otherwise. I learned so much about the Ghanaian people and their culture.

Very informational tour and we saw areas of Jamestown that we would have never discovered on our own. Emmanuel was very knowledgeable and kind in showing us around. Highly recommend!

Emmanuel gave us an amazing tour of James Town. He was knowledgeable and entertaining. I would highly recommend booking a tour with him. You learn more about the community and history of James Town that you would never know if you want by yourself.

I did the james town Accra tour with Emanuel and it was better than I expected! Emanuel is very kind, attentive and he has great knowledge about the history and Ghana culture. He answered all my questions and took me to the places I would have never reached on my own. Thank you Emanuel for this amazing tour <3

Absolutely great!

If you want to really see what Accra is like, not just the tourist attractions, but the real life of the people, Emmanuel is your man, he is hugely knowledgeable and really willing to take you behind the scenes of life in Accra as a Ghanaian

Emmanuel is a great guide and the tour was amazing! By doing the tour you get to experience the culture, history and daily life of Jamestown and the Ga people. I would do this tour again for sure!

Sehr freundlicher Guide, der alle offenen Fragen beantwortet und einem mit in Viertel und Gassen voller freundlicher Gesichter nimmt, die man alleine kaum sehen würde. Er gab uns einen persönlichen, authentischen und historischen Einblick in das Leben in Jamestown, auch wenn wir die einzigen auf seiner Tour waren und wartete geduldig, bis wir für nicht-englischsprachige Mitreisende übersetzt hatten. Ich empfehle diese Tour unbedingt weiter, um einen Blick in das Leben in Accra zu erhalten.

Edem is a great tour guide! All the locations we visited were interesting and he shared lots of info and history about the country overall

What a fantastic your significantly better than I expected. Emmanuel made James town come alive in ways I didn’t expect. We talked through how the community works, its chief system, it’s sacred places, it’s boxing traditions, it’s unique food, it’s history and roots, and even voodoo. This was skillful weaved into a very interactive and engaging walk. Well explained, great information, even allowing us to interact with the community. I’ve done many city tours around the world, this one was unique in walking away with a much deeper understanding of the cultural and community. A great day out highly recommended!

If you are in Accra, do not miss this tour! Emmanuel is incredibly knowledgeable and connected into the community of Jamestown and communicates with clarity and enthusiasm.

I absolutely loved my walk with Emmanuel. (Grateful that it went ahead, given that I was the only participant!) We spent over 3 hours navigating the markets, back streets and historical monuments of Jamestown/Odododiodio, and I saw parts of Accra that I would never have experienced by exploring solo. Emmanuel shared so much historical and contemporary information, answered all of my questions and even taught me a bit of Ga language. It was a privilege to see Accra through his eyes and a pleasure to spend time in his company. Highly recommended.

It was one of the best walking tours I have ever taken! Super informative, Emmanuel was great and I learned so much. A must do if in Accra!

We had an amazing tour through Jamestown and can’t recommend our guide Emmanuel highly enough. We discovered so many hidden corners and local spots we never would have found on our own, and it really helped us experience the neighborhood in a deep, authentic way. Emmanuel was incredibly warm, welcoming, and knowledgeable. He brought Jamestown to life with great stories, insights, and context, and we learned so much along the way. A perfect mix of history, culture, and local perspective. Thank you for such a memorable experience!

Emanuelle was wonderfull and very kind! The tour was amazing, really interesting and complete. I definintly recommend it. Thank you Emanuell hope to see you again

Thank you Emmanuel for a very educational tour today you are a great guide!

Emmanuel was very knowledgable about the history of the area as well as the people and culture. He was professional and easy going and provided alot of very interesting information that was easy to understand and follow. He was patient and went above and beyond what was required

Emmanuel was very knowledgeable and eager to take questions. He set a comfortable pace with stops for photos when we asked and offered some options to see at the end of the tour. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this tour.

Emmanuel provided an incredibly insightful look into both the history and current state of Jamestown. We were impressed with his depth of knowledge, his story telling and the tour overall. Can’t recommend him enough if you have a day in Accra!

Emmanuel is a kind, well versed, local Ga who made the tour through his own neighborhood great. We started at Jamestown Cafe and discussed so much...Ga songs and language, naming conventions, royal houses and meaning of symbols, festivals, native dress, seeing kenkey made and heron smoked for preservation, the oldest district in Accra, British Accra vs Dutch Accra, colonial history, fishing district and Chinese impact now, slave history including tunnels to the beach, Ussher Fort, popularity of boxing, JamesTown Lighthouse, and literally meeting many locals and learning their exact lives. Ghanians are kind and fun.

Tremendo guía con profundo conocimiento histórico y cultural

Fantastic tour. You’ll see a difference and fascinating side of Accra. Thanks Emmanuel.
