Overview
So, you’ve just arrived in a new city, or it’s your last day here. You step outside your hotel, take a deep breath, and... then what? Book your free walking tour with Emmanuel, a professional guide, to uncover the history, culture, and traditions of the Ga people in Old Accra, now known as James Town.
This walking tour will take you through Ussher Fort, the Salaga Slave Market, Brazil House, the Gbese Chief Palace, and Bukom, the birthplace of boxing in Ghana. You’ll also learn how Kenkey is prepared in this community and see the border that once divided the Dutch and British communities.
As we cross into the British community, you’ll explore the lighthouse, the fishing village, the British fort known as James Fort, the slave houses in James Town, the slave tunnels, the Door of No Return, the slave dungeon, and the boxing gyms you can’t miss.
