    10 out of 10

    We had an excellent experince with Modesta as our guide and Michael our driver. My Uncle isn't that mobile and they took great care and consideration of this. Modesta is so knowledgeable and she goes the extra mile with snippets of information about life in Ghana as you travel between your touristic venues. I highly recommend Hausa Tours and if you should be lucky enough to get Modesta you will find her to be so charming and she goes the extra for you.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your experience. We are proud of Modesta and Michael for delivering such thoughtful service. Your feedback means a lot to our team, and we are grateful for your recommendation. Safe travels, and we hope to see you again.

    Well organised , comfortable insightful tour

    Even though I have been to Accra many times , had never taken the time to visit the key tourist spots. The Accra city tour brought the city to life in a way we hadn’t experienced before from Jamestown to Independence square , the museum , Nkrumah memorial and the craft market to name a few . The bus was well air conditioned and comfortable, the tour guide very pleasant and knowledgeable. He made sure that we got guided tours at every location which provided additional insight . Learned a lot about Ghanaian history and culture especially the links to Nigeria - i.e. The Gan’s were originally from Ile ife in Nigeria !

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted that our Accra City Tour gave you a fresh and exciting perspective of the city, even after several visits. It’s great to hear that you enjoyed the comfort of our bus, the historic highlights, and the additional insights from our guide. We truly appreciate you choosing Hausa Tours and hope to explore even more with you soon!

    Reconnecting our Spirit.

    Our tour guide extraordinaire Fuseini Nawarui and the staff of Hausa Tours were the best. We were pampered and educated on the customs and traditions of Ghanian culture. From Accra to Kumasi and Cape Coast and areas in between. Many of us that have read about or have connections were able to rekindle our spirit each and every day of this 10 day tour. The foods were excellent but most of all the hospitality and genuine attention of the people to our visit was second to none. This was our initial visit and we are planning on returning soon.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your heartfelt words! We’re honored to have been part of your journey and look forward to welcoming you back.

    Accra City Tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Accra City Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $200 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 Tour 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 City Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 10 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 Tour?

    +

    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 Tour 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 City Tour?

    +

    Around 4 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 City Tour 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.

    What is included in Accra City Tour?

    +

    Included: Experience English/ French Speaking Tour Guide; All Fees and Taxes; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: Lunch; Alcoholic beverages; Carbonated beverages; and Dinner. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Accra City Tour include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 96 listed pickup locations in and around Accra. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Accra City Tour offered in?

    +

    It is offered in German, Japanese, English, Chinese, Dutch and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Accra City Tour?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Accra City Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Wheelchair accessible; Specialized infant seats are available; and All areas and surfaces are wheelchair accessible. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Accra City Tour if the weather is bad?

    +

    This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.

    What do travelers say about Accra City Tour?

    +

    Across 10 reviews averaging 5.0 out of 5, recurring themes include the guide, knowledge and storytelling, good for families. Travelers single out the guide as the reason the experience works.
