Explore Accra’s Makola Market with a local guide, tasting Ghanaian foods, finding textiles, and learning how to shop this huge open market.

“Really enjoyed my time exploring the markets! I was mesmerised by amazing fresh produce, beautiful textiles & also got to try Agneli kaklo & tiger nuts. Tiger nuts were amazing, by the way! Ben was really helpful with finding me things i needed & getting a good price & quite knowledgeable about the history of the markets. He went above & beyond trying to help me find a replacement for my broken suitcase, which has taken so much extra time! So really appreciated Ben for graciously giving me his extra time. Makola Market is a must do experience in my opinion.”

Review of Ghana’s Cape Coast tour from Accra, visiting Assin Manso, Cape Coast Castle, and Elmina Castle in one moving day.

“The Get Out Ghana Tours did a really good job when we booked our Cape Coast Tour with them. Ken picked us up right on time. We were a bit late getting ready but he was very patient and waited for us. It was a full day tour filled with fun and laughter, good music and food. We're definitely booking our next trip with The Get Out Ghana Tours. Highly recommended.”
