What people say

"Elmina Castle, also known as St. George's Castle, started as a Dutch trading post but became a key stop in the transatlantic slave trade, much like Cape Coast Castle. The vibe here is a bit different, though, and the stories you’ll hear offer another layer to the same dark history. It’s worth doing both tours to get the full picture."
"Known as the first trading post built on the Gulf of Guinea and the oldest European building in existence south of the Sahara. It is a haunting symbol of the transatlantic slave trade and the beginning of what would become centuries of suffering and oppression."
