Ghana Unveiled: 8-Day Transformative West African Journey

This trip to Ghana was an amazing experience. Our Tour Guide, George Benson was not only knowledgeable about his country's history and traditions, but he was able to manage (along with his assist Emmanuel) a large group of spirited tourists! The country's rich history and traditions are truly inspirational. And all the tours and locations visited were always educational and eye opening. A most unique experience thanks to Continent Tours. Highly recommend!

This was one of the best trips I have gone on. George Benson was our tour guide. He was knowledgeable, patient, and attentive to the group’s needs. I highly recommend Continental Tours for any future trips to Ghana.

This was my first trip to Africa and it will not be my last. Traveling to Ghana, learning it's history, hearing and seeing our legacy and experiencing Ghana's culture and people and the good and the bad of life in Ghana is an extraordinary gift that I will carry with me. Our guide, George Benson, and the Continent Tours team made this the experience of a lifetime!

Helen N. Awesome Trip October 2025 Friends Ghana trip was an amazing trip. My life will never be the same! Learned a lot about my African heritage and what they endured during the slave period. The African Name Ceremony was amazing. We had the best team, Continental Tour, thank you for giving us the BEST! .George Benson, Emanuel and Augusta. George the bus driver drove that bus! He receive the BEST driving award!!

1st time in Ghana and what an amazing experience. History and the emotion of seeing, hearing and understanding, what our ancestors went through was unforgettable. The naming ceremony was an impactful, joyful experience. The canopy walk is a must do. Lastly the Continental Tours staff, George Benson, George (our driver, Emannuel and Augusta, were an amazing team.

This was absolutely the BEST Tour that me and my family have taken. It was extremely spiritual and filled with so much knowledge. It taught me a lot about my African heritage and what we endured during the slave trade period. Also, the "African Naming Ceremony" was simply AWESOME. The knowledge, professionalism and friendly engagement of the entire tour guide staff (George/ Emmanuel/Bus Driver and Staff) made this trip very well worth it! It is always good to "Come Home!" I wish that I could have made this trip sooner.

This was a trip of a life time and it exceeded my expectations. Our tour guide, George Benson, was the best. He was very knowledgeable, patient and interacted with the group. Very emotional hearing about the slave dungeons and the history that we were not taught in school. Naming ceremony and meeting a king was a highlight for me. I can't wait to go back next year. If you have not taken this trip, I recommend that you do. You will not regret it!

An unforgettable experience. A few planning missteps, but it did not diminish the trip. Our guide, George was amazing.

Ghana Tour with Continent Tours – Amazing Sites, But Needs Smoother Logistics I had an incredible cultural experience in Ghana with Continent Tours—rich history, emotional visits to the castles and dungeons, and a beautiful naming ceremony that I’ll never forget. Hotels were mostly excellent: Mövenpick in Accra was true 5-star luxury, and Oak Plaza Suites in Kumasi had great staff despite renovations. Unfortunately, our last stay at Ridge Royal Hotel in Cape Coast was a big drop from the planned Lemon Beach Resort, going from luxury to a basic 2-star property. Biggest drawback? Transportation. The 6-hour drive from Accra to Kumasi on rough roads should be replaced with a short flight. Our small bus was cramped for long journeys (we had multiple 4–6 hour drives) and uncomfortable with luggage. A larger, more comfortable bus is a must. Our guide George was knowledgeable and caring, but communication from the company about changes and expectations could be better. Overall: Fantastic tours, mostly great hotels, but transportation and communication need improvement.

I am excited to share my experience in Ghana with Continent Tours! The trip was life changing! I learned so much about our history, important figures like W.E.B. Du-Bois, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah and our African history in Ghana. I was so moved by the dungeons, river of last bath, etc. The guides were so informative and drove home the history of the slave trade in Africa. But to hear the history of my ancestors - Kings and Queens and Leaders really inspired me and helped me to see what a strong history we had before slavery! George Benson, our tour guide, was very good in explaining much of the information we learned. This was very helpful in reinforcing what we learned. The highlight of the trip for me was receiving my African name and meeting the local King! I will never forget this trip!
