09-Jan-2023

We did a whole-day Cape Coast tour which included Kakum National Park, Cape Coast Castle, and Elmina Castle. Mr. Isaac was very professional, friendly, patient, and courteous with us. He picked us up at our hotel in Accra, took us to all the attractions at Cape Coast, and brought us safely back to our hotel, all the while being very engaging and knowledgeable...and he takes great pictures too!!!...lol...The Company is also very easy to communicate with and their payment options are very convenient. Overall, we had a smooth, easy time with them. Would 10/10 recommend it!!!

25-May-2022

We spent two official tour days with Kweku and everything met our needs! The Accra City Tour and Day tour to Ada were amazing! Being able to customize the experience to our needs helped! Kweku was easy to communicate with, his prices are very reasonable and he and his driver made sure we were safe throughout our journey. We will definitely utilize these services again!

07-Dec-2022

This is a tour you have to take if you are in Accra! I was so impressed with Christian and his professionalism. He was very knowledgeable and accommodating. One of the people in our group needed to rest. Christian not only keep an eye on her but he also hailed a taxi so that she didn’t have to walk back to the bus. The bus was nice and smooth and had air conditioning. He even took us to this great restaurant. The food was delicious! Having a fun and attentive tour guide was such a relief. I wish we had found this tour earlier in our trip and we would have gladly paid for more tours. Thanks Christian.

They were very intent on ensuring that I got the value I paid for. They went above and beyond to ensure my comfort, even in areas unrelated to the tour. Very professional. I'll definitely use their services again.

It was my last day...

01-Aug-2023

It was my last day in Accra and I wanted to see the cape coast castle. I contacted them at mid night. They got back to me and picked me up by 08:30 am. I went to the castle and came crack before 4 pm with extra time before my flight departure. Kofi was my tour guide and he was very flexible and customized the tour to accommodate my rush hours need. I will definitely use their service again whenever I go back to Ghana 🇬🇭

03-Jan-2023

Nyonkopa's services provided were excellent!!! Beginning with my initial inquiry - Kweku was responsive and detailed regarding what to expect. I also inquired about a customized tour to participate in a West African Dance class and he swiftly made the arrangements. Fast forward to the 2 days of touring I signed up for: including the Accra City tour on Day 1 and the Cape Coast, Elmina Castle and Kakum National Park tour with the amazing Clement on Day 2. Clement was timely, knowledgeable and protective of my mentee and myself while introducing us to the local culture. Clement professionally served as driver, teacher, photographer, planning manager, advisor and all around awesome human being. I wouldn't think of using any other team whenever I am in Ghana. The team is outstanding and I feel like I have made life-long friends in them. Nyonkopa, KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!! May your business continue to grow exponentially as you maintain the integrity in which you all operate. God Bless You.

We visited Accra and Cape...

12-Sep-2023

We visited Accra and Cape Coast for the first time and found Nyonkopa Eco Tours after researching for our trip. Kweku was very responsive, and super flexible in helping us create and customize a trip itinerary during our stay which spanned Accra and Cape Coast. Nyonkopa is a local Ghanaian owned and run tour company! We were hoping to visit Accra with a guide, but wanted to avoid being part of a big tour group, so working directly with Kweku through the booking and tour process was ideal. The tours of Accra City, Jamestown and Makola Market were stunning and powerful. Kweku provided background and history on the spaces we visited, and we were thankful to be able to navigate to each location with an experienced driver behind the wheel! Thank you Isaac! We would highly recommend the Beading workshop at Cedi Beads and the Batiking workshop if you’re in the Cape Coast area. Both offered the opportunity to support family owned factories, and the chance to learn from these artists to make your own piece to take home. We created our own glass bead necklaces on our 10 year anniversary! The traditional Ghanaian food class was another special experience we would encourage folks to add to their list of things to get into! Thank you Nyonkopa team for a memorable stay! We’ll be back!
