I feel honored and blessed to have found Akua as my travel agent for my trip to Ghana. She went above and beyond to ensure that we had a wonderful trip. She suggested places to go and things to do that I would have never thought of. Akua was quick to respond to our emails, texts and calls, even when upon our arrival in Ghana. My birthday trip to Ghana was memorable and life changing and I thank Akua for making it happen! She is professional, friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend making Akua your travel agent and I will surely be using her in the future.

Sharmelle - Ghana ~ Africa

Akua is a professional but yet very personable. Akua is very detailed which made our Girls Trip memorable!

Teena - Atlanta ~ Georgia ~ USA

I was referred to Akua by a Ghanaian tour guide, from Ghana. She went beyond the call of duty, at least two times. We were in Ghana at the same time. I appreciate you Akua.

Renee - Accra ~ Ghana ~ Africa

Akua Washington!

Puddin - New Orleans ~ Louisiana ~ USA

It was great. She kept me informed and gave great service regarding preparation. Already working on next travel event.

SweetC11 - Cozumel ~ Quintana Roo ~ Mexico

My experience working with Akua was amazing. I was trying to surprise my wife. Gave brief description of likes and wants. It was complete in less than a hours time. She sent some recommendations and with a brief description of some of the places I narrowed it down to an amazing place all inclusive. It was the best trip me and my wife have had since our honeymoon. Going forward I will always use her on these trips I didn't have to worry about a thing and most importantly she made me seem like an expert. All men know how your wife asks all the questions that we can't answer. We'll think again I could and did thanks to Akua.

Ayo - Cancun ~ Quintana Roo ~ Mexico

Akua is SUUPER organized, informative and attentive. From start to finish her attention to detail made me very comfortable with traveling to Costa Rica. Had not been there before. With a little of my own research her knowledge prepared me for the BEST travel experience. And that WE had.

TeeDee - Costa Rica ~ Central America

I found Akua very attentive and efficient. All required and suggested paperwork was provided timely.

Moses - Montego Bay ~ Jamaica ~ Caribbean

My experience was great. Very organized. I received my full itinerary a few weeks before departure.

Tanya - Cozumel ~ Quintana Roo ~ Mexico

Best experience all around.

Shawny B - Mexico

Absolutely! Akua is a consummate professional. She is totally engaged with her clients. Her knowledge & expertise shows in her work which is one reason I continue working with her. Akua connects with you before, during & after your trips. It's a one stop shop with her. Akua will not recommend a place that she has not visited or has good reviews. My family & friends have used her services for several trips. When traveling abroad you definitely need an agent that is versatile & that will suggest places not to visit during inclement weather, etc. Keep up the good work & the "Elegance of the World" crew is looking forward to our next vacation - planned by Akua @OHENEBA EVENTS & TRAVEL

V - Costa Rica ~ Central America

My From STL - Ghana ~ Africa

I enjoyed working with Mrs. Washington. She was very professional. She provided me with all the information I needed for my trip in a timely manner.

B. Bishop - Mexico

Akua was so patient and available. Always ready to help

Birthday Trip - Lagos ~ Nigeria ~ Africa

Working with Akua Washington was wonderful. She is organized, efficient and detail oriented. From the initial consultation, planning, finalizing our details, departure to Accra, and our return. Akua was with our group every step of the way. She listened to our wish list and from there created the perfect trip with the perfect mix of beach vibes (his wishes) and history and culture (my wishes). She provided us with several itineraries to choose from, and all itineraries were within budget. She guided us on local customs, what visa, and vaccinations would be needed and how to exchange money. She also searched for flights and booked our flights. All that we had to do was pack our bags. When we arrived in Ghana, our tour guide was friendly and eagerly awaiting our arrival. All of the tour guides were very knowledgeable of the country, and made us feel right at home. I never felt like a tourist per se. I will most definitely call on Akua when I'm ready to book my next adventure

KJ - Accra ~ Ghana ~ Africa

Sam Peasah - Egypt ~ Africa

When I first started looking into travel arrangements for Ghana, I felt overwhelmed. We had traveled in East Africa many times, but this was a first for us with two teenagers. After talking with Akua, I felt it would be manageable and more importantly a wonderful trip. We visited our niece in the Peace Corps then traveled some before returning home. Our travel arrangements all went smoothly, from the early stages of planning and getting immunizations, to the last day of the trip. We were fortunate also to actually meet and travel with Akua for part of the time. We are so glad our paths crossed, and we are so very grateful for all of the work Akua and Michael did to make our trip a success. We would definitely recommend her services to anyone trying to Ghana. Thank you!

E & J - Ghana ~ Africa

The best period

Jeffery - Accra ~ Ghana ~ Africa

Akua was wonderful to work with planning our custom tour to Ghana, Togo and Benin. We started planning our trip more than a year out and prior to the COVID pandemic. She advised us on required vaccines and medications, getting visas, PCR testing and anything else needed to be ready for our trip, Planning travel during the uncertainty of the pandemic was a little stressful . We trusted Akua's advise and experience to help us make decisions about our itinerary. She kept us updated on travel requirements at home and for our destinations. What started as a three-country tour became an extended Ghana tour when Ghana's land borders remained closed due to the pandemic. Akua worked with us and our Ghana guide to ensure we had a fantastic tour. (We enjoyed Ghana so much that we extended our tour for a few extra days.) Akua wasn't physically traveling with us but she was always available when needed. Out trip would have been very different had we not used her professional services.

Percy and Debra - Ghana ~ Africa

Akua is the consummate travel professional. In my opinion, her top three traits are listening, planning, and follow-through. She listened to the details of my vision for our experience. Then she planned an amazing vacation that addressed everything I expressed were important. After booking the trip, she followed through with travel updates and periodic check-ins to make sure we were ready for the time of our lives. I'm so glad I enlisted the services of Akua. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a seamless travel experience.

Henry J - Grand Canyon ~ Arizona ~ USA

The interaction with Akua was stress-free. The information was forwarded to us in a timely manner.

Terry - Jamaica ~ Caribbean

Akua is very patient and responds very quickly. Her professionalism has no limits.

eyes herr - Ghana ~ Africa

My experience was great! Akua was a solid communicator, did a great job at preparing travel materials, and provided great support to those who were less experienced.

Dart - Accra ~ Ghana ~ Africa

Outstanding service, attention to detail, insight and quality of service!
