Enjoyed my vacation to Takoradi with Landtours in October. Planning to take a trip to Sao Tome next year and I'll surely go through them again. They provide very professional services and their planners are thoughtful.

Hats off to Mr. Tour guide David K and our wonderful driver Moses. These guys went above and beyond ensuring our group of 13 from Texas Oct 22-28 had an awesome adventure. David shows compassion in his work. He's a great asset to your company. Thanks again, David, for a job well done.

28-Apr-2020

Do not dare rent or deal with this company. If you make a reservation with Expedia for an Avis rental car, your contract is completely voided and a new one for Land Tours will be created. They will also give you a fake Avis rental car contract. They will charge your credit card to Land Tours and over charge you. The lady Jessica is completely unorganized, untruthful, dramatic lady and she’s not a good liar. All of the employees are afraid of her as she tends to be a dictator. The stole $131.6 from me in which now I’ve hired an attorney. I’m sure they are upset that I got my money back from my credit card company. Take your business elsewhere.
