I was told I could get anyone to drive me to Cape Coast but I’m so glad I went with Tony. He made sure everything was taken care of, we had great tour guides, wonderful dining, and the entire day felt like a blessing. Worth every penny.

This was a very unique and emotional experience. Thanks to Expat Life our experience was enhanced by having our own wonderful tour guide, Abigail. From start to finish everything went well. We even had an emergency, and that was handled perfectly. We didn’t have to worry or be concerned about a thing. We highly recommend using Expat Life. You can relax, feel comfortable and enjoy knowing that you’re in good hands!

Cape coast is beautiful, even with its very tragic history. I learned many things I didn’t know. Just a FYI, it could just be me, but based on the name I thought we were doing both castles. I was too tired to do the other castle, but sharing my 2 cents. I have enjoyed all the day trips I took with your group and will be recommending them to my friends when I get home.
