Mein Name ist Emmanuel und ich bin in James Town, British Accra, geboren und aufgewachsen. Ich arbeite seit fast dreizehn Jahren als professioneller Reiseführer und bin immer noch als solcher tätig. Ich führe Touristen gerne durch die Geschichte meiner Gemeinde, lese gern und bringe kleinen Kindern auch gerne gutes Englisch bei.
I did not expect the tour to go right in the heart of the local Ghanaian community. We have walked through small streets and even saw a wedding (not part of the tour). The guide knows a lot about the community and tries to share the vibes through both teaching you some local customs and telling many stories. What I would do differently if I were to do this tour again? I would get enough water, wear a hat, wear a long sleeved white light shirt and avoid coming early. There is not a good place to wait for the tour to start. Good shoes are also a must but thankfully I had good shoes on :)
Amazing tour, full of insightful info. The best way of discovering Jamestown. Highly recommended.
He was punctual, nice and informative! Sometimes it is not easy to understand what he says, if you are not used to the accent (not his fault of course), but he is ready to repeat himself and answer every time you ask something! Very patient! The Makola market is in the list of things to be visited, but not in the description, so we asked about it when we met him and he took us there after the tour, because it was not really included.. So he was really nice! We definitely recommend this tour is you have a good knowledge of English! It gives you a lot of useful and interesting info!
Nicely getting to know the local people and the history of the district.
