        The best tour and tour guide you will find. We spent several days with Muhammed who was more than a guide he became a friend even after the tours were completed. If you are looking to experience an organic experience I recommend booking him for your tourism needs

        Unmatched Experiences with Here is Ghana Tours
        “Here is Ghana Tours” created an unforgettable experience for us—words truly can’t capture how amazing our two tours were. I’ve traveled extensively, but the tours we took with them were my all-time favorites. My only regret is not finding “Here is Ghana Tours” earlier in our trip; had we connected with them sooner, we would have booked all our tours with them. From the start, Mohammed clearly explained what to expect for the day, yet somehow, the experience still exceeded all our expectations. Communication was seamless—we could easily reach out, make requests, and receive prompt responses. Our first tour included Wli Waterfalls, Mt. Afadjato, and the Tafi Atome Monkey Sanctuary. It was a full day packed with activities but never felt overwhelming. I appreciated how unhurried the pace was, allowing us to truly take in each site. On top of that, we were treated to breakfast, lunch, and fresh snacks like bananas and mangoes. The first tour was so incredible that we immediately booked a second one, this time visiting the botanical gardens, riding ATVs, and enjoying palm wine tasting. It turned out to be one of the best days of our entire trip. Mohammed went above and beyond by tailoring the tour to meet our specific requests. Him and the guides at each site brought an unmatched vibe to the experience. The balance they struck between relaxation, engaging conversation, and sharing knowledge was remarkable. Their ability to read the group’s needs and personalize every aspect of the tour was something you don’t encounter often—and they did it effortlessly. It was an experience unlike anything I’ve had before. To top it all of Mohammed acted as a personal photographer, so we could enjoy and take in the moments instead of worrying about who to ask to take our photos. It seemed like all our needs were anticipated ahead of time to have a flawless tour. Thank you “Here is Ghana Tours” and Mohammed for these lifelong memories!

        "Unforgettable Adventures with Here is Ghana Tours"
        I can’t recommend Here is Ghana Tours enough! Mohammed went above and beyond to customize our tours, even accommodating a last-minute addition. Maanan, our guide, was simply outstanding - knowledgeable, patient, and kind. His photography skills were a bonus, and he handled a small mishap with such calm professionalism. Even after that, he ensured our last tour was unforgettable. Booking with Here is Ghana Tour was the best decision for our trip, and I can’t wait to do it again. The lunch spots chosen were absolutely delicious too! Don’t hesitate to book with them for an incredible Ghanaian adventure!

        Ghana touring in May
        Here is Ghana is the perfect tour guide company when visiting Ghana. We booked 2 tours with Med: Aburi, Shai Hills, Tetteh Quashie Cocoa Farm, Cedi Beads and Accra city tour. Overall, it was a great experience and we learnt a lot. We highly recommend booking with Here is Ghana when visiting Ghana.

        My experience with Here is Ghana Tours was nothing more than amazing. Mohammed simply customized an itinerary that met my needs! He also connected me with THE BEST tour guide I've ever adventured with. Mannan was knowledgeable, young and fun. His attention to details was out of this world. He took heed to my interest in learning about the schools in Ghana. He showed me schools and explained the uniforms as we drove by. Not to mention he is the very skilled at social media. He made sure to capture me at my best.. knowing all the good spots for the best content. Mannan was very attentive to my friend when she had a slight hiccup and injured her finger. He took great care of her and made sure she was alright. I could go on for days about booking with this company! Just know you won't be disappointed. Also want to mention that I love that breakfast(early tours) and lunch was provided'

        I went to Ghana on a solo trip and was nervous about the experience. However, Med and Richard made me feel right at home. I felt safe and was able to have a full itinerary! Would hands down recommend this service!

        An experience to remember!
        Communication was efficient, the team was very attentive, they made our trip go smoothly and respected our wishes. The team made our whole trip fun and enjoyable, as it was our first time coming to Ghana (and I’m sure they would do the same on the second, third and fourth return). We would definitely recommend this tour company everyone and would be coming back to use their services again!

        Amazing quad biking experience
        This was my second time booking with Med and his team and the experience was amazing. Our tour guide Mannan was great. We started the day with breakfast followed by an amazing guided tour of aburi botanical gardens. We then went on our thrilling quad biking experience which was truly a once in a lifetime experience. We then took time to unwind at Asenema falls which was truly breathtaking. Mannan then took us for a buffet lunch at Peduase valley resort and we ended the day with a palm wine tasting. I highly recommend booking with Here is Ghana tours. Definitely value for money

        Amazing day! 5 ⭐️s
        I booked “Here is Ghana Tours” to travel from Accra to see Assin Manso, Cape Coast castle, Kakum national park & a local naming ceremony. The day was LONG but so worth it! Our van was spacious and clean which made the commute desirable. We also were provided snacks, lunch, waters and dinner . Upon arrival to each location, we were immediately taken in to begin our tours. It was very efficient. I would highly recommend for any excursions/tours!

        OUTSTANDING TOUR GUIDE
        Med was OUTSTANDING! His knowledge was second to none. He is clearly passionate about his job and goes above and beyond to share his knowledge of them places we visited. In all of my travels, I truly rank Med as one of my top tour guides. Thank you Med for everything.

      Med was great. Shai hills was peacful and amazing. Royal Senchi lunch and cruise was great. Med took all of our picture and videos. Great hype-man. The Akosombo dam closed which sucked but the rest of the day worked out. Shai HIlls then the Cruise at Senchi was the best parts of the day. We really loved that Med and driver Steven pick us up and dropped us off at home. There we were snacks, drinks, music. Wonderful time.

      This was the second trip my grandfather and I had booked with Med and his company ‘Here is Ghana Tours’. He is incredibly professional, phoning 2 weeks ahead of the trip to introduce himself and confirm some details. Throughout the day, he provided plenty of drinks and tasty snacks such as fresh coconut and cooked snails. In addition, to the request of my grandfather he stopped on the Adomi bridge as this was an area he visited many times as a child. The little things like that went a long way for both of us.

      Frank, the driver, was very well-mannered and easy to talk to as well as being a great driver.

      Shai Hills is a spectacular place to visit. Whilst there, we saw many wild animals such as antelopes, baboons, zebras and hornbills. In addition, I thoroughly enjoyed the adventure of rope climbing up some of the rocks to get up to the incredible viewpoints. There are easier routes to reach these points which my grandfather used with the support from Med and the tour guide. A truly unforgettable experience.

      Akosombo dam is an impressive sight, It was interesting to learn about how it provides the country with so much electricity. However, we felt that it wasn’t really set-up for tourists yet, as there wasn’t much to do. Also, for the distance traveled, it would have been nice to be able to spend a bit longer at the Dam and be allowed to see some more of the dam.

      Overall, a fantastic, personal and professional tour provided by a caring tour guide. Would definitely recommend using the company and visiting Shai Hills as well as seeing Akosombo Dam.
