Review the Cape Coast Day Tour from Accra, covering two historic castles, Kakum’s canopy walkway, transport, timing, cost, and practical tips.

“I had a really good experience on this tour. Pick-up was prompt at the arranged time and the bus itself was comfortable with good Wi-Fi and air-con which made the bumpy roads less uncomfortable. Portia was a great guide and provided interesting information as we drove along. The sites themselves were very interesting with informative guides.”
