What You’ll Experience

Step into Ghana’s layered history on this half-day heritage tour of Cape Coast and Elmina Castles, guided by historian Kwaku Asare. These UNESCO World Heritage Sites stand as powerful reminders of resilience, strength, and the human story that shaped modern Ghana. As you walk through the dungeons and courtyards, you’ll gain deeper insight into the transatlantic slave trade and its legacy. The tour ends with a quiet reflection walk along the beach — a moment to honour the past while appreciating the beauty of the present.

Kwaku Asare

Heritage Guide & Local Historian

I grew up walking the grounds of Cape Coast Castle long before I fully understood its significance. My father, a teacher, always emphasised the importance of learning our past — not to dwell, but to honour and understand it. After studying history at the University of Cape Coast, I returned to the castles with a mission: to share the stories behind these walls with depth, sensitivity, and context.

For over 10 years, I’ve worked as a licensed heritage guide. My tours focus on truth-telling, healing, and celebrating the resilience of the Ghanaian spirit. I strive to ensure every visitor leaves with clarity, respect, and a deeper connection to the people of this region.
