    The Best Tour Guide Ever!

    My husband and I are from Oklahoma City, OK U.S. We spent the best 11 days ever in Ghana! The ONLY way to enjoy Ghana and experience everything from the Door of No Return to the highest most beautiful waterfall in West Africa is to book your tour with Eyali Tours. Please request Emmanuel Yalley! He is so experienced and knowledgeable concerning every detail of your visit. Ask him to give you the itinerary he planned for us. It was everything and more. There is nothing you will miss out on. We felt completely safe and comfortable at all times. He taught us so much and Emmanuel took care of us like we were family. Emmanuel was so helpful, kind, and extremely professional! We will personally recommend him to all of our friends and family. He will always be our tour guide and a part of our family! Tell him the Clemons sent you and he will go above and beyond ! Lol. Emmanuel is the only way to go!

    Professional, Communicative, Safe (Solo Traveler)

    My first time in Ghana, I had a bit of a custom experience with Eyali Tours. In addition to providing tours of the city and different experiences, also partnered with them as driver. Eyali was always prompt and extremely patient. I had a very loose itinerary with flexibility and I'm glad because I was able to get it better experience based on recommendations by Eyali. You assume that your tour or driver knows the area but I think that they take it a step further and can provide suggestions based on your personality, budget and needs. The communication was absolutely stellar. They were always available and I asked lots of questions and received prompt and clear answers. I also wanna make a point about safety since I was a solo traveler. There is not one time where I did not feel safe or at risk. Eyali had eyes on the back of head! This is a tour group that was recommended by a friend and I can see why word of mouth is so important because you really get someone that you can trust. When I return I absolutely will use their services again and the forward to seeing your smiling face when I get off the plane.

    Beware. you might pay to see

    when we got there, the watchman asked us for money to see the place. this is supposed to be free to the public. its typically in Ghana to receive bribes. smh. but we didn't give him too much. just enough for a bottle of beer as he requested a crate. don't pay to see this place. its been years since i went to Ghana. even thought i grew up there. i have never been to this place and it was beautiful to go.

    Response from the operator: Hello, Minashk you have never traveled with us so it’s inappropriate for you to write a review on our TripAdvisor page. Please can you take it down, thank you.

    Fantastic Tour and Tour Guide!

    This was a private tour and our tour guide Emanuel was AWESOME! He was knowledgeable about Accra and its history and he took us in different areas. It was a truly authentic experience. From visiting the markets, to a nice lunch in a local spot, he was great. He also went above and beyond as the ATM machine was not working and he took us to a bank in Osu so that we could get some cash. He was so patient and flexible. A couple of notes about Ghana: 1. Carry CASH! There are very few places that take credit cards. 2. The bathrooms are not modern and it is hard to find a decent bathroom - they need infrastructure. 3. Do not go out in the rain. The gutters in the streets are polluted and if it rains, all that stuff will be in the street on your feet! Again, Emanuel and all the places he took us were amazing and I would definitely request him and this tour!

    Response from the operator: Thanks Jenifer, it was nice meeting you and your son and hope you will return to Ghana soon.

    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 $163 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 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 Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 5 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 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Accra City Tour?

    +

    Around 2 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 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: All Fees and Taxes; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: Meals. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Accra City Tour include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 1 listed pickup location in and around Accra. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Accra City Tour offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. 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; Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller; Specialized infant seats are available; and Transportation options 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?

    +
