      First of all, it was great to be in the company of like minded and looking travelers. I enjoyed the sights and Prince did great on educating us. The evening In Nubian Village was awesome. On another note., felt steered towards certain businesses; no opportunities to shop around. Secondly, we should have been informed that we need to bring a band for tipping. To improve service inform your customers. I don’t mind tipping when it is appropriate however I don’t think I should give you six dollars to use the bathroom after I have paid for admission. I never seen so much palm greasing . I guess that part of African Culture . Anyway overall it was a good experience and I would recommend you to others

      I requested a refund and been trying to talk with someone that can hear me to cancel and refund my money since February 2023 $4,000 and some is a lot of money to take away from the poor.

      I had the absolute privilege of joining the Gateway Experience Ghana, July 2022. There's only one word to describe it - TRANSFORMATIVE. Jay has done the work and created a truly phenomenal travel experience. Because of his efforts, I connected with the ancestors, with Ghanaians, with Africans and with myself. I fell in love with Ghana and am now planning to move there. Jay and his local team - the incomparable Morris and the loyal Ernest - took care of every detail and provided a trip that was informative, enjoyable and safe. I don't think I could have that experience with any other tour operator. From now on, I will only travel with Jay and Maximum Impact when I visit any place in Africa. In fact, my group and I are planning to travel together again to Tanzania next year. It's just that deep. If you love Black people and Blackness, then love yourself by booking a trip with Maximum Impact!

      Customer service exceptional! What a pleasure to work with Maximum Impact Travel for this trip. They are thorough and very attentive as there are several steps to traveling to Ghana; the entire Maximum Impact team made the booking process seamless with EASY-to-follow instructions. All questions I had were answered promptly and professionally. And, oh my goodness, once you get to Ghana, you will be warmly received by the Maximum Impact team and treated like a V.I.P. Accommodations are clean and super-comfortable and offer all amenities. Don’t hesitate booking the trip if you’re traveling solo as I was. It’s a trip of a lifetime where you will meet wonderful traveling companions, tour the country with knowledgeable guides and wish that the trip was longer. I LOVED IT! A powerful and stirring cultural tour that also includes fun-loving activities. Outstanding job by Maximum Impact. I’m already planning my next tour with you.
