The Soulful 6
This experience was absolutely amazing!! To be able to come to the Motherland and be greeted so warmly by our people was heartwarming. The weather was perfect and we were able to be engulfed in the culture and every day life of the citizens of Ghana. To be able to experience this with family and friends made it even more special. Elvis our tour guide and Nelson our driver were the absolute best!! They made us feel at home, they were knowledgeable, they made themselves available even when not scheduled. We even got a chance to witness the 10th Annual Dashiki Festival. I would highly recommend this to anyone and Continental Tours is top notch in my book.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your wonderful review! We are truly delighted to hear that your journey to Ghana was such a meaningful and memorable experience. There is something very special about visiting the Motherland, and we are honored that you felt warmly welcomed and connected to the culture, people, and everyday life of Ghana. It is fantastic to know that sharing this experience with family and friends made it even more memorable. We are especially pleased that Elvis and Nelson helped make your trip so enjoyable through their professionalism, knowledge, and genuine care. We will be sure to share your kind words with them, as they will be thrilled to know they made such a positive impact on your journey. We are also glad that you had the opportunity to experience the 10th Annual Dashiki Festival and enjoy the beautiful weather during your stay. Thank you for your recommendation and for your generous comments about Continental Tours. It was our pleasure to be part of your Ghana experience, and we look forward to welcoming you on another unforgettable adventure in the future.

Memorable Time in Accra
Absolutely amazing experience! The tours, our guide (Elvis) and driver (Nelson) were fantastic. They made sure we had everything we needed and took care of us impeccably well. They went above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable experience. The Urbano Hotel while smaller rooms than we were accustomed to, and not the fanciest hotel, ended up being a good location. We truly got to experience the sights and sounds of Accra right outside of our hotel. A good place to stay if you don't have your own transportation. All in all we made the hotel work. Overall, I would book Continental Tours again...and I forgot to mention the gifts they surprised us with will be beautiful keepsakes for our forever memories! Medasse!
Response from the operator: Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We are delighted to hear that you had such an amazing experience with us. It is especially rewarding to know that Elvis and Nelson helped make your journey memorable through their dedication, professionalism, and commitment to ensuring that you had everything you needed throughout the tour. We will be sure to share your kind words with them, as they will greatly appreciate the recognition. We are also pleased to hear that, while the accommodations may have been different from what you were accustomed to, the hotel's location allowed you to experience the vibrant atmosphere, sights, and sounds of Accra firsthand. Immersing travelers in the local culture is an important part of the experience, and we are glad that this added value to your stay. It is wonderful to know that the surprise gifts will serve as lasting reminders of your time in Ghana. Creating meaningful memories is at the heart of what we do, and we are honored to have been part of your journey. Thank you for your trust, your recommendation, and for choosing Continental Tours. We look forward to welcoming you back for another unforgettable adventure in the future. Medaase!

Ghana historical visit
Our tour guide, Kwaku, is simply the best! I have taken numerous guided tours before and he was definitely my favorite. His passion for Ghana, his detailed explanations, his patience and understanding were bar none the absolute best! Our visits to the museums and historical places went off very smoothly. His constant coordination with these venues made our visits smooth and efficient. He also was able to answer questions about each and every venue we visited. His explanations of Ghanaian culture was quite informative.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for sharing your experience. We are thrilled to hear that Kweku made such a positive impact on your 12-day tour of Ghana. It is wonderful to know that his knowledge, passion, and attention to detail made your visits to museums and historical sites smooth and informative. Your kind words are greatly appreciated, and we sincerely look forward to welcoming you on another journey in the future.

A ancestry trip of a lifetime
I have just returned from a 12 day Best of Ghana Cultural Tour by Continent Tours. I have travelled around the world to over 40 countries and this was far the best trip I’ve taken. It was cultural, educational, historical, inspirational, and overwhelming with much joy which touched my mind, heart & spirit in such a sacred way. It was truly a trip of a lifetime and all due to the expertise of Tina Ross, Continent Tour Manager, the thoroughness of Matina Kuma, our tour guide, and safety of Samwell, our driver. From the moment I contacted Continent Tours, Tina made me feel very at ease that she understood exactly what I wanted in a customized tour. She always exercised professionalism, thoughtfulness, compassion, understanding and a sweet demeanor throughout the 9 month process before our departure. She never gave any hesitation or negativity towards the changes, additions, questions and concerns that I had. Her actions certainly provided me with a comfort and assurance that I was going to have the type of tour that I desired. As the tour date became closer & closer I became more & more excited which was all due to Tina. My tour was all of what I planned and even more than my expectations and was blessed immensely with extra surprises that were included by Continent Tours. To add to this, our tour guide was Matina Kuma, who had an effervescent and loving personality with her heartfelt hugs and sweet radiant smiles from our airport pickup throughout our journey until our airport drop off. She embraced my 3 companions and myself with much care, protection, respect & love as senior women and affectionately referred to us as “Mama”, which gave rise to us truly adopting her as our Ghanaian daughter and genuine blessings of being family. She was very kind and generous to ensure our needs where met at all times. She had an amazing and thorough knowledge of all the regions of Ghana, its different languages and cultures which provided us with much education, history and to experience the different people of Ghana in every aspect of life. There was never a concern or fear or doubt that we were truly in safe hands. Samwell, our soft spoken, warm-hearted and expert driver was very meticulous in maneuvering some of the undesirable roads to give us the best comfort. I would sincerely and strongly recommend Continent Tours to anyone wishing to visit Ghana and especially for those that desire to learn their ancestry. Do your research, document what you wish to see and experience, number of days first so that Continent Tours can give you the experience of a lifetime that you will greatly appreciate with no regrets and be enthused to share with others as I do. Be sure to request Tina Ross, Matina and Samwell.

The Best of Ghana,12 Days: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Accra.
How much does The Best of Ghana,12 Days cost?
+
Prices start at $11,500 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 The Best of Ghana,12 Days take?
+
Plan for about 288 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 The Best of Ghana,12 Days worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 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 The Best of Ghana,12 Days?
+
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 The Best of Ghana,12 Days suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 288-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book The Best of Ghana,12 Days?
+
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 288-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does The Best of Ghana,12 Days 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.

Not included: • Visas and international Flights; • Travel insurance; • Gratuity for driver and guide; and • Meals not listed. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
