★ 4.9 · 12 reviewsRashid provided an exceptional city tour, including an informative visit to the iconic Black Star Square. Learning about the square's history was fascinating, as was the exclusive tour inside the Black Star Gate that culminated in breathtaking rooftop views. Furthermore, exploring the W.E.B Du Bois Centre is an experience not to be missed, offering a wealth of historical insights that are particularly impressive, especially for those of us visiting from the US where this aspect of Du Bois's legacy may be less recognized. Booking this comprehensive travel package through Tratoli made our journey truly memorable.

Our travel experience was nothing short of incredible, with the highlight being the profound historical significance of the W.E.B. Du Bois Center. This journey is a must for all Americans, and particularly poignant for African Americans. We encountered remarkable customer service, meeting the high standards that we, as Americans, have come to expect. Rashid, our guide provided by Tratoli, was exceptional in every capacity: he ensured we visited all the significant sites, imparted his extensive knowledge with professionalism, and delivered a level of service that exceeded expectations, earning them an AAAAA+++++ rating in my book. Additionally, we enjoyed a unique shopping opportunity—reminiscent of a swap meet—where bargaining skills come into play. It’s essential to approach with confidence, negotiate tenaciously, and stand your ground on prices. The locals are polite but assertive in their sales approach, so matching their level of assertiveness is key for a successful transaction. Overall, booking through Tratoli guaranteed a trip that was both educational and deeply satisfying, leaving me with the confidence to highly recommend their services.

Additionally, delving into the life and legacy of Kwame Nkrumah, coupled with a deeper understanding of Ghana's rich historical tapestry and viewing authentic historical artifacts, proved to be incredibly captivating. The tour guide's profound understanding of Ghana's history significantly enhanced the experience, and I thoroughly enjoyed my time exploring these significant cultural landmarks.
