Worst "teachers" ever. But the professionalism of the operator deserves 2 stars instead of just 1
The contractors had 0 interest in actually teaching, all they did was pressuring me into buying something from their shop. It started after 10 minutes of drumming, I refused but they kept insisting and when I still refused they made it clear they didn't want to teach me anymore. They went on for another 10-15 minutes and started pressuring me again. At this point it became so unpleasant that I decided to leave. The whole thing lasted a little less than 1 hour and half of that was spent telling them I was just there to genuinely learn rhythms and not to buy anything. But to give credit where it is due: the operator was very professional and took responsibility for it, apologised for the unpleasant experience and issued a partial refund and said they were looking for other contractors to prevent this situation from happening again.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for taking the time to share your review. I sincerely apologize once again that this was your experience with the drum instructors. I have personally addressed the matter with them and made it very clear that this does not reflect the standards we uphold. We have also communicated that we will not hesitate to make changes, including replacing instructors, if there is no immediate improvement in attitude and delivery. We truly appreciate your time and your honest feedback. It is incredibly valuable to us, and we will use it to improve and ensure we deliver a much better experience to our future guests.

Experience it
The Drumming class was very exciting. We learn several beats. Our tour guide Kobe was extremely helpful, knowledgeable and provided great customer service. I would recommend Ghana must go Tours with Kobe. Matt and Adina

Drumming lessons with my family in Accra
We thoroughly enjoyed the drumming lessons and their farewell serenade for us at the end of class. This was our very last excursion before heading to the airport to head home.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience on the drum lesson experience. Was great meeting you and your family.

Accra African Drumming Lessons - with Pick Up: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Accra.
How much does Accra African Drumming Lessons - with Pick Up cost?
+
Prices start at $93 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Accra usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Accra African Drumming Lessons - with Pick Up take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Accra is not rushed.
Is Accra African Drumming Lessons - with Pick Up worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Accra, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Accra African Drumming Lessons - with Pick Up?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Accra African Drumming Lessons - with Pick Up suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Accra African Drumming Lessons - with Pick Up?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Accra can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Accra and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Accra African Drumming Lessons - with Pick Up start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Accra within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Accra?
+
On Outty we rank every Accra experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Experience the Beauty, History and the Culture Of Accra in a Day, Cape Coast Castle, Elmina Castle & Kakum National Park Day Tour, Accra Guided City Tour: Cultural and Historical Experience. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Accra?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Accra?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

+
