“The Accra City Tour was a great opportunity to learn more about the history of Accra and some of the most important persons, like the first President Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, who announced the independency of the country. As our guide Fred was telling us, you should have seen all those places, like the Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park, the Independence Square, the W.E.B. Du Bois Center and also the National Museum of Ghana, before you leave the country.
