2.Makola Market Walking Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 14 reviews · from $41Best value

Walk through Accra’s huge Makola Market with a small group and a local guide such as Prince, Ben, or Obeng. Expect help with directions, bargaining, cultural questions, and finding specific goods across the textile, food, clothing, electronics, and grocery sections. The tour lasts about two hours and starts and ends in central Accra.

“This was definitely a highlight of my trip to Accra. I loved how throughly the tour guide, Prince, answered all of my questions and pointed out things that he thought would be of particular interest to me personally. He checked in both at the start of the tour and regularly throughout to make sure we were traveling at a speed and distance that was comfortable for me. If I’d visited Makola Market without a local, I’m sure I would’ve felt overwhelmed by the traffic and crowds and would have worried about getting lost. Instead, with Prince, it felt comfortable and easy to experience so much more than I’d have ever…”
