Wonderful experience
My family and I had a wonderful trip under the guidance of Foster from Kadelo Travels. He was informative , patient and answered questions about the tour and the places that we visited. We had an incident and Foster did not hesitate to address it. The driver of the vehicle was very polite was a good driverHe communicated quickly and was with us until our flight back home. He was also very helpful with the information we needed in getting our visa. We will consider Kadelo Travels in the future trips to Ghana and the region.
Owner's reply You and your family are very nice to be with regardless of that incident concerning the hotel but thankfully I have swiftly change the hotel for you. You're more than a mother to me during the trip and very understable team to toured with. I'm grateful for your tip as well. I wish to seeing you in Ghana anytime soon. Greetings to the rest of the team. Cheers!Foster

Great Service by Foster of Kadelo Travels
When my family planned a trip to Ghana we were unsure as to how to get about it, being our first trip to West Africa.We thus approached five travel agents in Accra giving some guidelines and requesting a proposal.Foster of Kadelo Travels was the first to respond and almost immediately. He came with a comprehension package covering our requirements and also making some useful suggestions, which of course we accepted.Foster was very knowledgeable, very obliging and accomodating and very pleasant and helpful. Our trip included, in addition to the usual sites. A journey by air to the north of Ghana and a visit to the Mole National Park and The historic Larabanga Mosque. All were well organised.We highly recommend Foster for any travel requirements in Ghana.We wish him all success. He is an asset to his organisation.
Owner's reply This is the best family I have ever encountered since my guiding experience. Very down to earth Senior citizens. They also make sure everything move smoothly as planned. Thank you Mr Mohammed for taking time to leave this great review. Well appreciated 👍

Awesome Experience
Overall the trip was pleasant. Viator stated the tour would start at 8 am but Foster arrived at 9:15am but he did apologize for being late. Ernest our tour guide at Shai Hills was very knowledgeable and the highlight of the Shai Hills part of our tour. We really enjoyed listening and interacting with Ernest. We did get to see baboons on our way to the next stop which was lunch at The Royal Senechi and the buffet was awesome. The buffet offered gluten free options because I have a gluten allergy. The boat ride was relaxing and enjoyable.
Owner's reply Thank you for your review. We appreciate your time. It unfortunate Foster arrived late than expected but he sent message informing you he will be late and stated new pick time should be 9:30 am due to heavy traffic which he sent your the photo of the traffic. We are glad to hear that he apologized. Once again thank you booking with Kadelo Travels.

An excellent tour of the city!!
This was an excellent tour. We had an opportunity to see and experience the various site in the city with ease and comfort. Our tour guide FREEDOM was personable and knowledgeable. He was very informative. We saw many sites, all filled with history of the nation and its people. By the time the tour was over FREEDOM felt like family. This was our first tour in the country and the knowledge we gained was priceless. A remarkable introduction to Africa and Ghana. A beautiful country with beautiful people. These memories will last a lifetime!

The Accra City Tour was a Remarkable Experience
My family really enjoyed the Accra City Tour with Foster! He picked us up promptly in the morning and provided a comprehensive tour of the important sites in Accra. We started our journey at the W.E.B. Dubois Centre where we were given a tour of his home and we learned about his life and his contribution towards the advancement of people of color. We later visited the National Museum of Ghana where we explored Ghana's history and it's contribution to society. My favorite location was the Dr. Kwame NKrumah Memorial Park. We really enjoyed the peace and beauty of the site and we learned a lot about his fight for uniting African people. Finally, we loved visiting the Makola Market and passing through the Independence Square. Overall, this was an amazing tour and I am grateful that my family was able to obtain a comprehensive overview of this beautiful country ❤️
Owner's reply Thank you so much Venetia for your wonderful review and we are happy we met your expectations. We hope to seeing you again back in Ghana. Much love 💗
