“ For sure…travelling with Apollo is making new friends from different levels of the society and learning a lot about local life and culture of the country.
We travelled through the most fertile part of Burkina Faso (one night in mud-stick house in a village near Nandom, one night in local village on the way, two nights in guesthouse in Bobo-Diaulasso, two nights in local guesthouse near Banfora, two nights in Goua and back to Ghana). We travelled in an extraordinary way: by motorbike for one week.
The routes where dirty, the accommodation basic in local villages, but I felt comfortable, slept and ate terrific. Really…one of my lifetime experiences.

“ I have been travelling with Apollo on several trips and tours. He is friendly, sympathetic and very knowledgable. Above all, he is very reliable and flexible and will adjust his tours to meet your wishes.
Apollo has shown me the Ghanese way of living in Accra and in villages outside. I have also seen natural and cultural highlights, like Kakum national park, Fort El Mina and waterfalls.
Any means of transportation is possible: buses, cars, taxi's, and riding a bike in the hills north of Accra is certainly worthwhile! Apollo will do his best to make your tour enjoyable!

“ Through a friend, I got in touch with Apollo Panou. From the time he welcomed me at the airport untill one month later when I left him to travel by my self, he helped me with everything.
He showed me many pretty places. Places you cannot find with a guidebook. He took me to drink pito (a special brewed local drink) with old men in traditional villages. He showed me the Rastafarians because I was interested.
He taught me how to wear my money, how to discuss with the ‘sellers’ and he cooked me the best traditional Ghanaien dishes.

“ The biggest asset of Apollo is that he has an exellent knowledge of Ghana and the Ghanaian culture and can explain very clearly about it to us Westerners. He is proud of his country and likes to show all its beauty to whoever is interested.
Apollo is very approachable for visitors as well as for Ghanaians. He therefore is the missing link between different cultures.
For me it was a perfect way to get to know the true gems of West Africa: its people.
