This was my first time using a travel agency, and after looking into a few, I discovered that Nottingham Travel had a reasonable airfare from Manchester to Accra. Ghana’s capital and biggest city is Accra. The largest city in Ghana is blessed to glowing beaches, great buildings, museums, libraries, galleries and traditional markets. I had booked plans with Nottingham Travel Agency. The staff was not only welcoming but also incredibly helpful in assisting me in preparing a pleasant and relaxing trip. I decided to arrange a 20-day family holiday from Manchester to Accra because the prices were affordable. Everything was perfectly organized. Without an issue, I’ll choose Nottingham Travel for any of my future travel requirements.
