1.Makola Market Walking Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 16 reviews · 2 - 3 hours · from $58Our pick

Walk through Makola Market with an English-speaking private guide, learning about Ghanaian ingredients, textiles, cosmetics, medicines, tools, and used clothing. Guides such as Ben and Prince help you find the right stalls, understand local customs, and negotiate fair prices during this 2 to 3 hour Accra experience.

“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!”

2.Makola Market Walking Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 14 reviews · from $41Best value

Walk through Accra’s Makola Market with a small group and a local guide such as Prince, Ben, or Obeng. Visit textile, clothing, food, grocery, and electronics sections, learn local trading customs, and get help bargaining. The tour lasts about two hours and begins and ends in central Accra.

“Prince, was an AMAZING tour guide! I really enjoyed the tour. He was very knowledgeable and knew the layout of the market very well (it felt like we were navigating a huge human maze) and he helped me find and bargain for the things I wanted. I had a wonderful experience and will definitely book again. THANK YOU!”
