Duration: 2 days

This tour in particular reveals the history of the slave trade by the Europeans along the coasts of Africa. Both Cape Coast and Elmina have one thing in common; castles which have been classified as World Heritage Monuments by UNESCO's world Heritage Foundation due to their importance in the slave trade days.
