Summary:
I’m speechless! The service that our tour guides, Biney and Kofi, provided are far beyond words can say! I was with a group of 7 people in Ghana and the level of service and detail provided by our tour guides exceeded our expectations by a long shot. They were always on time and would patiently wait on us at our hotel and in the markets while shopping. They carried our bags and negotiated for us to make sure we didn’t pay beyond that of the locals for certain items. They checked us in at all our hotels and venues and even went so far as to check our rooms to make sure that they were up to par. They were able to get us into sold out events and not only that but with VIP service (literally - free bottles of alcohol, tables, and all)! They were very accommodating and didn’t mind that we would change up the schedule for the day. I’ve never had service like this in all my travels. I am even considering visiting countries that I’ve not even had on my radar to visit, just so that I can use them again. I cannot recommend Biney and Kofi enough!! I’m hoping to see them again very soon!! 5 stars isn’t even a high enough rating to give here! You will not regret using them as your tour guides!

Summary:
Biney is the kindest gentlest soul I've ever encountered. He made my group and I feel at how despite the fact that we were 5000+ miles away from home. From the moment we meet he taught invaluable lessons about life and about Ghana's rich culture and history. If you are traveling to Ghana you have to allow him and his team share their country with you. I can not wait until I have another opportunity to see my brother again.

Little did I know, that Biney’s warm smile and infectious energy would set the course for an awesome Ghana experience!.. Biney and his staff were very friendly and knowledgeable during my stay in Accra, Ghana...I could not imagine visiting Ghana without Biney and his staff’s personal touches that made my stay so very memorable! His expertise in the area afforded me opportunities to see Ghana in a way I could never have imagined. I am still reeling from the energy obtained from my extended homeland. For an unforgettable experience do not hesitate to choose Biney and his staff!!
