Free walking tours in Accra

I had an amazing experience on this walking tour! Kewku, our guide, was incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and friendly throughout. He truly went above and beyond to accommodate my tour, making sure I got the most out of the day. We even made a stop at a beautiful crafts market, which was such a lovely added touch. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore the area with a fantastic guide!

Great Tour, learned so much and saw many things. Just a friendly advice: maybe Update the Tour info, because it says you charge 80cedis per Person, but ask for around 150pP. Since Emmanuel took us around for like 3 hours, we didnt mind paying that though.

I had a great experience with the afternoon tour! It is easier to do it in the afternoon due to the heat/sun. Emmanuel is super friendly and knowledgeable. He pays attention to your individual questions/interests and adapts the tour to it slightly. Felt super safe during the whole tour through Jamestown and really have the feeling that I was able to immerse myself for 3.5h. I loved it! Highly recommend taking this tour 💯

We saw a part of Accra what we not have been seen without him. Good explanations about history and daily life.

Taking the James Town Walking Tour with Emmanuel was such a cool experience! He showed us hidden backstreets and introduced us to locals we’d never find on our own. Along the way, we even got to try corn wine, which was a unique treat. Without Emmanuel, we would have totally missed these awesome spots. Definitely a fun and authentic way to see the real side of Jamestown!

I was very impressed about his knowledge on the history of James Town and learned a lot about Ga culture and how they live today! I really recommend everyone to take the tour!

Joseph was the best. Very friendly, knowledgeable, and made the tour fun. We enjoyed our time with him and learned so much. Will recommend him to all of our friends looking to do a tour as well.

I recently had the pleasure of going on a tour in Ghana with Joseph as my guide, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From start to finish, Joseph was knowledgeable, professional, and personable. He shared not only the history and culture of each site we visited, but also personal insights that really brought the stories to life. His passion for Ghana’s heritage is clear, and it made the entire tour so engaging and meaningful. Joseph also went above and beyond to make sure everyone was comfortable and well taken care of throughout the day. His patience, friendliness, and attention to detail made the experience feel less like a guided tour and more like spending time with a friend who loves showing you his home country. If you’re considering a tour in Ghana, I highly recommend requesting Joseph. He made my trip memorable, and I left with a much deeper appreciation for Ghanaian history, culture, and hospitality.

Emmanuel took us on a fantastic walking tour of Jamestown. His knowledge of the history of Accra was brilliant and we learned so much from him. He showed us round his hometown, made us feel very safe and welcome and introduced us to such wonderful people. We were taught some of the local language which helped us feel part of their community. We enjoyed it so much we didn’t realise the time going by! I would highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Accra and we have already recommended it to some friends of ours who are staying in Accra this week. The highlight for me was finishing at the school that Emmanuel created. He’s an asset to his community and people should come to see this!

My husband and I really enjoyed our time with Emmanuel and learning about the Ga people, language, customs, and history. It was really impactful to learn more especially as first time visitors in Accra. Emmanuel was very nice, passionate, and knowledgeable. Definitely recommend this tour!

Joseph was very professional, polite and am versed in the history of not only Accra but Ghana too. He was very patient and took me to more places than what the itinerary stated. He’s also a great photographer 😂. He definitely is recommended, so please request for him because you won’t be disappointed.

Joseph was a superb guru. His knowledge of Ghana's history is excellent, he is very caring and we highly recommend him.

We really enjoyed the tour! It was fantastic to see Jamestown through the perspective of Emmanuel, who is an active member of the community, and to experience the differences between Dutch and British Accra. Emmanuel’s walk was highly informative and we gained experiences that we will remember for a long time!

We really enjoyed our walking tour of Jamestown, with Emmanuel. It was very informative and, as a a local, he was very knowledgeable, flexible and accommodating. We ended the tour by the sea, at the Lighthouse, where Emmanuel took great pictures of us and then waited with us until our transport arrived.

Wow - what an exceptionally authentic tour - and Emmanuel had such amazing insights - and Beyond his excellent expertise- he is a Joy to know - and my first new friend from Ghana! For an authentic cross cultural experience this tour must be in your plans!

Eine sehr intensive Tour zu den Ursprüngen von Accra. Diesen Nachmittag wird in Erinnerung bleiben.

Edem provided a very informative tour. We got delayed and he was still very patient with us and accommodated the last minutes changes we made to the tour He helped us to also bargain heavily at the Arts Center. Overall, we loved our tour with Edem

I really enjoyed the tour, it was both educational and fun. Our tour guide was very smart and knew a lot about Ghana and its history. Definitely recommend it!

Whether you're just briefly visiting Accra or you're living here, with Emmanuel you'll experience it in a truly unique way. He grew up in the neighborhood and will show you around with passion and care throughout, sharing lots of insightful stories. I couldn't recommend this tour more! Thanks Emmanuel!

Great tour! Emmanuel was an amazing guide and very informative. Highly recommend!

Lovely tour. We saw many hidden spots and were told many insights! 100% recommended!

Emmanuel was great, very professional and attentive! He asked what I wanted from that tour, and always made sure I felt safe and comfortable. I was traveling alone and as a woman I felt a bit vulnerable but he is a great and knowledgeable guide and made me feel comfortable. Highly recommended!

Emmanuel was knowledgeable, friendly, and well-regarded in his neighbourhood. We learned a lot on this tour, Emmanuel always made space for questions and generally made us feel at ease. I highly recommend taking the time to experience James Town and Ussher Town and Emmanuel is an excellent choice of someone to navigate the area.

Highly recommend‼️‼️ Emmanuel is a passion loving tour guide. With a lot of heart 🫀 in what he does. An epic journey into the history of old Ghana 🇬🇭, giving you an unprecedented glimpse into a part of Accra that is definitely off the beaten track. You won't regret it. Thank you 😌

Amazing local experience!
