Great tour or Ghana My 7 day tour of Ghana was so memorable. It was nice to have the reassurance of having, Timothy, our guide pick us up at the airport and take us from Accra, Kumasi, Cape Coast and back to Accra. I really loved having a local guide that could point out local favorites. Thanks so much! I will remember this trip for a lifetime.Posted on Tripadvisor![Tripadvisor]()

Perfect Tour To Experience Ghanaian Culture If you want to go on a trip to Ghana, simply contact this team and they will sort you out. They made sure we had great accommodations for our budget, a really sweet ride with blasting AC(so much needed in the warm weather), and most importantly our guide Jojo who we travelled with made us feel like apart of his country which we appreciated so much. At every area we got the people were happy to see us as soon as they saw Jojo and he mentioned Timeh tours Ghana. This made us feel safe and special.Posted on Tripadvisor![Tripadvisor]()

Amazing Place Ghana was a warm and welcoming place I left a part of me at. It was so beautiful words can’t explain how I truly felt in this special place in the able hands of Timeh tours. Mike Amuzu was my guide for my experience and he did his part to ensure I enjoyed Ghana greatly! I met the family of the founder Eric and we had a great chat and delicious home cooked meal from his mom’s kitchen. The huge mess we had (banku and peanut soup with beef) sat in my tummy till I returned home lol yummy!!!!Posted on Tripadvisor![Tripadvisor]()

Culturally rich experience My wife booked for a cultural tour to surprise me for our anniversary and it was richly done. We ended up even having some romantic candlelit dinner on the beach to celebrate the day at our beach resort. Adams met us with our driver Ebenezer for our tour . Ebenezer drove well and we always felt safe during our trip in the hands of Adams who knew so much information as we requested for a knowledgeable guide. He was just the person for the job and Eric delivered. You guys are going to be in our hearts forever!Posted on Tripadvisor![Tripadvisor]()

AMAZING TIME IN GHANA Highlight of review:This trip to Ghana changed my life! Ghana for a long time has been flirting with my mind as I wanted to take the trip for missing out on the Year of Return. I finally took the trip by booking with Timeh Tours Ghana after reading they are a young company with years of experience. Who wouldn’t want to support a young company become the best at what they do? So yes I booked with them and from the initial email to booking and concluding my tour was PROFESSIONALLY done. I got the chance to connect with my African heritage and culture through sites that were picked to ensure I experienced these such as Cape Coast castle, Ashanti Kingdom, traditional villages with beautiful vegetations, Slave Cemetary, Independence Square. I wish I could only do more on my tour but I didn’t have enough time but this tour was more than enough.Thank you for your hard works Timeh Tours Ghana.Posted on Tripadvisor![Tripadvisor]()

Plenty love on this side The perfect tour doesn’t exist I thought. My friends and I had this amazing 7 days and it was lit!!! We had EVERYTHING from fun times, cultural experiences, history of the country Ghana, and relaxations after tours were great(our favorite was the dinner on the beach at Elmira). Our guide Jojo even created an afrobeat playlist just for us during our travels so we just literally always had a party going. If you are a group looking for flexibility and affordable prices worth every penny then BOOK with Timeh Tours Ghana. They told us memories were guaranteed and YES we are loving them. Thank y’all❤️Posted on Tripadvisor![Tripadvisor]()

Amazing team and Easy to work with. My friends and I went on this ecotourism adventure in Ghana and it was smoooooooth. We basically had just 3 emails between Timeh tours and us for us to book with them. They really had great ideas and sites in mind just to suit our needs and for that we were willing to pay. Our guide Mike and driver Jojo were professional in their handling and gave us exactly what Eric promised us through our email conversations. What was an extra sell for us was the fact that even after booking, Eric kept on checking with us if we needed any other services prior to our arrival. Big upssssss Timeh Tours Ghana!Posted on Tripadvisor![Tripadvisor]()

Ghana is so welcoming Ghana is definitely our home away from home. We visited Ghana during the festive season and it looked busy as alot of sites we visited looked full. Our guide Eric was great help and always made sure we had a guide on site who was available just for us. This was particularly nice as when we got to Cape Coast castle we didn't have to join the long queue and this made us feel special with a private tour of the castle. We even had enough time to participate in the door of return ceremony which was so emotional to participate in. We had clean and comfortable hotels, clean and AC vehicle through out the trip across Ghana. This tour company made sure our expectations were met and more.Will definitely recommend 100%. 👍👌
