01:50I completed the canopy walk at Cockham National Park, and I visited Olmena Castle and Cape Coast
01:57Castle with Isaac as a tour guide. Everything was easy and straightforward from booking the trip
02:03until the end of the day. The company confirmed pick-up time and place, and Isaac picked me
02:09up from my hotel and dropped me off there at the end of the day. Right away I felt comfortable
02:15with Isaac. He was kind, accommodating and very knowledgeable about the local areas and the
02:21attractions. Any questions I had, Isaac had answers. He made sure that if I needed anything he would be able
02:29to
02:29take care of it. Isaac encouraged me to do the full canopy walk and kindly took photos for me,
02:36which I am very glad to have. Isaac took care of all the fees for the park and the castles,
02:42which came with their own local guides, and he accompanied me through everything.
02:47Isaac's timing was perfect as we arrived at Cockham before it was very hot outside, and we got to the
02:53castles
02:54before bigger tour groups and could see them without having to wait for a big group. He was patient with
03:00me and looked after me very well. I would highly recommend booking this tour.
03:06This tour was by far one of the most memorable experiences that I've had here in Ghana.
03:12Having the opportunity to visit both the Ailema and Cape Coast Castle was eye-opening,
03:18emotional, and worth the experience. Also being able to experience the Cockham canopy was A-plus-2.
03:26Now getting to my guide, Clement. Clement was attentive, sincere, knowledgeable and provided a more
03:33personalized experience based on my needs, not to mention his patience and awesome photography skills.
03:40He captures your moments and records videos for you in order for you to really be in tune with the
03:46guided tours,
03:47and you don't miss a thing. If you want tomorrow intimate experience having the time to have really
03:53take in everything that you're experiencing without distraction this tour with Nyan Copa good friend
03:58eco tours is what you need to take. BTW wear comfy walking shoes and bring water for the canopy tour,
