“We combined this with their Accra Slave Tour, so we had a day with our guide, Prince, who explained an incredible amount of history and interesting facts throughout. He also was kind enough to go out of his way to drive past the Jubilee House. As for the market, it was amazing to see and Prince was so helpful in navigating it. Be sure you know what you want from there so he can guide you to the right part of the market!”
