Yes, they are quite prevalent. About 46% of the options we compare (75 listings) are tagged as private tours. This is unusually high compared to many other destinations, giving you the flexibility to set your own pace and focus on specific interests rather than sticking to a fixed group itinerary.

Guides are available in 7 languages: English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, and Simplified Chinese. Since English is widely spoken in Ghana, most international travellers will find communication seamless, but multilingual options ensure comfort for non-English speakers as well.

The majority of experiences rely on walking (43%), allowing for a more immersive exploration of neighbourhoods and markets. For longer distances or hotter days, car tours (16%) and bus tours (6%) are available, while a small fraction use private vehicles for exclusive comfort.
