“We enjoyed our day with Emmanuel and were so glad to have the opportunity to see Cape Coast and the suspension bridges in the national park. One unexpected thing was that he did not actually do the tours of the castles or the park, so we had to have tips ready for 3 other guides in addition to Emmanuel. It would have been nice to know that before hand, it was not clear in the tour description and felt a little disingenuous. Otherwise it was a nice day.”
