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.

I had the pleasure of contracting Nyonkopa Eco Tours for my 9-day trip in Ghana. I visited the Volta Region, the Central Region, and of course Accra. Nyonkopa Tours delivered a highly detailed itinerary that covered transportation and costs to all sites we visited. Kweku was a pleasure to work with and made sure that I was taken care of. He was very attentive and did his best to ensure that I had a great experience. The strength of booking a tour with Nyonkopa is that you will have someone knowledgeable of the culture, who can take you to places where you will have authentic experiences and support the locals. Kweku was great at bargaining for me at the market and souvenir shops. I highly recommend Nyonkopa tours. The investment in this company made the world of difference for my trip. My experience in Ghana would not have been the same.
