Felt like VIP tour with a true pro - An absolute amazing experience. I had the pleasure of having Lamine as a tour guide. He was professional and personable. English was great! I never felt rushed. He knew how to move about Goree to get the great photo and avoid floods of people. The City tour was on point as well. A highlight was seeing the guys making crafts that are widely sold. I never felt pressured to buy things. I totally recommend.

The perfect introduction to Dakar - I booked this tour the day after landing in Dakar to help me orient the city and it turned out to be the perfect introduction Dakar. Pape was absolutely fantastic. He’s warm, incredibly knowledgeable, and seems to know everyone. His deep understanding of Dakar’s history, culture, and everyday rhythm made the experience both insightful and enjoyable. We covered key parts of the city and spots that I wouldn’t have discovered on my own. I would highly recommend starting your trip with this tour!
