I cannot begin to express the amazing time I had in Ghana this past August. Nana is a professional who has brings excitement and fun to the tour. His travel itinerary was customized to fit all the excursions we selected. Itculturally rich, adventurous and educational. Nana exceeded all of our expectations. I highly recommend him. I have visited over 30 countries and I can truthfully say the experience with this tour company was superb. August 2019

2. VARLEE SARNOR: Liberia

Nana Preston is a great character. He's very honest and trust worthy. When I first met him, I knew straight away he was the man I was searching to do business with. He goes out of his way to make sure that his clients are happy. Meeting Nana is the beginning of your vacation because the fun begins with him. Many times I have transferred funds to Nana's personal account and he gives them to me in tight upon arrival. He knows his country to his fingertips as well as other countries in the sub region. Feel free to work with him, he's the man. I highly recommend Freelance Nana. July 2018

It was a pleasure to tour around Elmina and Cape Coast with Nana. He is super knowledgeable, professional and well informed about the area and Ghana/West Africa in general. We learned not only about the history but also of the everyday living of the people - Nana made the tours fun and enjoyable. An awesome time was had, we truly enjoyed the time spent touring with Nana. We look forward to our return and would definitely have Nana to show us more. We highly recommend Freelance Nana for your tours - you will not be disappointed .Huge Thank You! September 2019

4. LATOYA RENEE: USA, Boston

I met Nana a couple of years ago on my first trip to Ghana. He approached me outside of Elmina slave dungeons and we struck up a conversation. He's incredibly knowledgeable about Elmina and surrounding towns. Furthermore he has great tips on what to do and where to go all around Ghana. He's very well connected and extremely professional. As a solo female traveler it can be pretty intimidating to just meet people but Nana has made me feel comfortable and connected and well taken care of while in Ghana. I'm here now for the second time and spent over a week in Elmina and surrounding towns. Nana exposed me to the annual Bakatue Festival and it was absolutely amazing. I highly recommend Freelance Nana's services. July 2017

5. LAURA BECKER: Germany.

Awesome tours! We did a bicycle tour from Elmina to Cape three points last year, organized by Nana. Such a beautiful trip! You can see Ghana’s nature and enjoy the company of very nice, open people
Nana got us the bicycles, tents, other equipment, food and made sure we use nice roads and stay close to a hospital incase of accidents.
I’m very thankful for this experience and Nana’s engagement!! I recommend Freelance. January 2019

6. JOEL & NADYA: Germany

My family & I had a great time with Nana & crew in Elmina, Ghana. Be sure to link this pleasant, knowledgeable & humble young man if you’d like to see Elmina off the beaten track. Don’t miss a visit to Bingo’s bar ( Nana will accompany you, it’s hidden away, no tourist would ever find it alone) & if you’re not faint hearted take a tour with Prince Arthur, you’ll be amazed.
There’s only one expression to describe Nana: Ghana’s finest! We highly recommend Freelance Nana. July 2019

I very much recommend Freelance Nana. Very interesting + affordable means of reaching the known and the unknown places in Ghana.

Physically looks young but with mature brain. August 2018

12. EFUA BOAKYE: United Kingdom

We had a brilliant tour with Nana. It was very informative and not only did we learn about the history but also about life in Elimina. Through Nana, we also got to have the unique experience being on the Elimina sea via speedboat. We got an insight to the daily life of the fishermen. Overall not only was the tour with Nana informative, it was fun as well. Recommend. September 2019

13. Elite Family – United Kingdom: Was recommended this tour by a friend who gave rave reviews. Looking for something that would be inclusive of our 2yr old had us skeptical. But Nana made me feel at ease from first communication. Tour was tailored to our needs, his knowledge, experience and passion was top level and you can see he is well loved within the community. A MUST on the to do list when you visit Ghana! Professional, polite and he leaves you inspired to learn more of your history. Many thanks Nana! February 2020

14. Nadia - United States. Year of Return Amazing Tour Experience: I visited Ghana for The Year of Return. We went on several tours with different companies but this was by far the best tour we went on due to the professionalism of our tour guide, Nana. Nana communicated with us prior to the trip to make sure we were all set for the day of. We were picked up on time and provided with very comfortable transportation to our destinations. Nana was very kind and knowledgeable about all of our excursion destinations. He made sure we had a great experience at each location. He also went out of his way to help us with our dietary restrictions for lunch. Would definitely recommend for your next tour! January 2020

15. Michael T – United States: Nana is just a bloody remarkable person, with great knowledge about his country and surroundings. He is very affable, funny, and interesting, I like his understanding abilities, the ability to relate and share his cultural experiences. In a nutshell the trip was totally amazing, outstanding and exciting. Nana is such a gifted and an incredible guide. The trip was truly a lifetime experience for me and my friends from the diaspora. Not only did I see sights about which I had dreamed my whole life, I got to experience everything close up and personal. The hikes were glorious and wonderfully challenging, the waterfall was magnificent. I don't have enough good things to say about this tour. Well organized, educational and most of all, fun! We don't usually take tours, but this one made us feel like we hit the jackpot. Excellent!” December 2020

16. Christina – London, United Kingdom: Being inspired by the Japanese tradition of Tokyo Inhabitants to climb Mount Fuji on Ne Year's day. I venture myself to take part in escaping busy and busty Accra for a few days and take a road trip to the Volta region organize by @Freeloance Nana crew!

Nana has been personally very welcoming checking on me like a friend prior to the trip and all through it! I do appreciate his soulful and passionate spirit. The travel guide I had Issac made his bet to accommodate my rhythm when we were hiking the Mont Afodjato and had several breaks to rest.
Volta region was a sincere Breezer of fresh air and I would have loved to stay overnight by the Volta region for longer and cruise the lake.

Again the team is very friendly and will provide you great cultural insight onto Ghanaian culture and history.

I would definitely recommend taking one of their tours or asking for a custom one if possible. January 2020

17. Anice Cw – Canada: As a solo female traveller, Freelance Nana was a great option for me. Safe, good communication, comfortable, and fun! He was flexible and could accommodate my tight schedule. He is experienced and it was interesting to chat about everything from food, music, to politics. Thank you! January 2020

18. Wuyattah – New Jersey, USA: So very grateful to have had this experience in Ghana 2020–Year of Return! Arrived in Ghana on New Years Day ahead of my friends and Nana was at airport for a pickup and had checked with my hotel to confirm my reservation was intact. I was very grateful to hear that and impressed at the personalized touch that went above and beyond what I expected. The next day he came to take me to go and see some sights in Accra before he went to get my friends from the airport. The following day, we left for our 2 day Elmina Castle and Kakum Rainforest tour. On the way to Elmina, we visited the Ancestral Slave River Park in Assin Manso and were given a history and tour of how slaves were captured and prepared for transport to Europe and the “New World.” This tour was not only emotional and moving but quite informative. After that we continued to Elmina and had dinner at a lovely ocean side restaurant and then on to the Coconut Grove Lodge for the night. Nana took us out to tour Elmina at night which was a very nice touch and allowed us experience the town as locals do. We had beer and conversed at a local bar and met some of his friends and acquaintances along the way. The Elmina town and castle tour the next day was emotive, informative, and entertaining. An excellent and personalized touch was the T-shirts he give our group that was the envy of others on other tours as we were asked by them where to get one. After Elmina we went to the Kakum National Park for a canopy walk which was not only beautiful but was also thrilling. After all this, we headed back to Accra and our respective hotels. He took pictures of our group during much of the trip and was the most accommodating tour guide. I can personally state that I had a fantastic time thanks to Nana’s generosity as a person and a guide. I would recommend his tours to anyone interested and hope his company grows to the heights he dreams of. January 2020
