    1. W.E.B. DuBois Center

      An advocate for the black community and women’s suffrage, Du Bois spent much his life and career focused on Pan-Africanism and became an organizer of several Pan-African congresses leading the charge to free many African colonies from European control. While in Ghana, a country where he was a champion for independence, Du Bois, planned his final project, the Encyclopedia Africana. Styled similarly to the Encyclopedia Britannica, the proposed Encyclopedia Africana was an ambitious undertaking that Du Bois hoped would connect the entire African diaspora. Although Du Bois died in 1963 without completing Encyclopedia Africana, his contributions to the African American experience as a historian, civil rights activist, writer, sociologist and intellectual are vast. The Museum celebrates the influential life he lived, his activism and the scholarly works that continue to serve as essential references regarding racism in America.

    EAA Tours - highly recommend!!!

    I recently visited Ghana for 9 days and needed a tour guide/driver while I was there. I found EAA Tours online, and although the reviews were great, I still wasn’t quite sure what to expect. Eben showed up early to pick me up at the airport, and I was immediately impressed. I felt extremely comfortable with him, so much so that I booked an impromptu tour with him the very next day. Thanks to Eben, I discovered some great places to eat and visited Labadi Beach. When my friend arrived, Eben took us on a city tour and to Cape Coast. Not only was he extremely knowledgeable about Ghana and its history, but he was also great company. He made the experience enjoyable, comfortable, and memorable. Since returning home, I’ve been recommending Eben and EAA Tours to everyone I know who is planning a visit to the beautiful country of Ghana. 🇬🇭❤️

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for choosing EAA Tours during your 9-day visit to Ghana! It was a pleasure meeting you and being part of your Ghana experience. I’m especially happy to hear that you felt comfortable and enjoyed the tours, history, and culture. Thank you for trusting me and EAA Tours. I truly appreciate your kind words and recommendation, and I hope to welcome you back to Ghana again someday!

    Accra City Day Tour-History,Culture,Markets&Independence Square: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Accra.

    How much does Accra City Day Tour-History,Culture,Markets&Independence Square cost?

    +

    Prices start at $40 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 City Day Tour-History,Culture,Markets&Independence Square take?

    +

    Plan for about 6 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 City Day Tour-History,Culture,Markets&Independence Square worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 80 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 27 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 City Day Tour-History,Culture,Markets&Independence Square?

    +

    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 City Day Tour-History,Culture,Markets&Independence Square suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Accra City Day Tour-History,Culture,Markets&Independence Square?

    +

    Around 9 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Accra City Day Tour-History,Culture,Markets&Independence Square 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.
