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.

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.

We had an amazing tour with Emmanuel through Jamestown, Accra. He shared so much of his knowledge and brought us to places we never would have discovered on our own. Thanks to him, we even received an African name and learned how to connect with the locals in a meaningful way. Truly a unique and authentic experience, we would absolutely recommend it!

Such a wonderful guided tour. Emmanuel is very knowledgeable and shared so many insights into the area he grew up in. We visited streets that visitors would not naturally wander along and I learnt a huge amount. I’d highly recommend.

Emmanuel was very knowledgeable and we learned a lot about the Ga people and the history of the neighborhood. We really got to go through lots of interesting areas in the neighborhood and met many sweet people, and got to try some kenkey with fried fish and shito at the end. He knows a lot of history and is a great teacher!

Emmanuel is a great guide and has a lot of knowledge of his culture and history. It was very interesting to see James Town with a local. I recommend this tour to understand more about daily life in Accra and learn about Ga traditions.

Amazing walking tour around old Accra with lots of history and information! The guide is from that community so you get a lot of interesting information on the Ga people and the culture. Also a chance to see parts of the city you’d never otherwise see. Thank you!
