Absolute recommend this tour! The guide went out of his way to make sure we had the best experience. The tour feels immersive starting from the hotels and the foods you eat. The schedule is tailored to us. I’m a manual wheelchair user and all hotel chosen by guide where accessible, same goes for tours. Let them know what you need ahead of time and they will take care of it. The fun starts as soon as you pick up from the airport. Worth it!

This tour is an exceptionally organized and entertaining adventure through Senegal. I customized it to 8 days. Amadou and his team ensured I was safe and happy the entire time. Malang was more than a tour guide and treated me like a friend, enthusiastic to show me his country, and seemed to know every local we encountered along the way! The tour includes lovely accommodation and excellent meals. The Saloum Delta picnic was an unforgettable experience and one of my favourites, but it is really hard to pick from all the fun and interesting things we saw and did.

Where do I even begin? 🤩 Amadou is an exceptional guide and made me feel safe, welcomed and entertained my entire trip. He and Alpha (who drives) were a true highlight for me. I’ll miss them both dearly. There is high attention to detail, exceptional service and a much needed human touch at each point of the trip. I honestly couldn’t recommend Asgil more highly. I wish I took more photos (I was recording everything) but I was always given time and space to capture things that caught my interest and shown new things I may have otherwise missed. As a solo female traveller I never once felt uneasy and I’m not surprised so many choose to travel through Senegal with this team. I’ll be back for sure! Thank you Amadou and Alpha✨

This was my first trip to Senegal and Africa and I wasn't sure what to expect. I was bit nervous but Amadou took such good care of me. He is an amazing person and guide. I wanted to do a bunch of things and he worked with me make sure I got to see every I wanted and so much more. My favorite day was when we had lunch in the Delta of Salum. It was beyond amazing. Amadou is very knowledgeable and has a good reputation with other guides in all the areas we visited. I felt safe the entire and had so much fun. If you're visiting Senegal Amadou's your guy.

I can't imagine a better way to experience Senegal than on our tour with Amadou. We were provided with comfortable transportation and accommodations. But what made the tour memorable was the the varied itinerary and knowledgeable local guides who gave cultural and historical insights. Amadou and his team were exceptional. I highly recommend this tour to anyone hoping to get to know Senegal.

Amadou runs a great tour, inspiring confidence with attention to the last detail. His crew is great too - we all fell for super-charming Mala. Senegal was super interesting and the people were warm and welcoming. Seeing different parts of the country and different aspects of the culture made it a very special trip. This is a tour even for people who do not normally do tours. Six stars!

Amadou Barry is a thoroughly professional guide always looking out for what we needed and wanted to experience during our travels in his country. An excellent guide himself, he added local guides in our various destinations such as Goree Island, St. Louis, and Joal-Fadiouth to give us a greater depth of experience. In the Parks we had Rangers providing us with a more educated appreciation for what we were seeing. Lodgings, including 'glamping' at an eco-lodge in the desert, were thoughtfully chosen and very comfortable. The food -- so much delicious fish! -- was great and a high point was a picnic in the Saloum Delta that could be titled "Amadou's Feast" in the spirit of "Babette's Feast" or any other film that romanticizes food and the meaning of sharing a meal. Our 8 day itinerary covered a lot of territory giving a a broad perspective of the country of Senegal. If you are interested in history, art, crafts, food, nature, wildlife, and culture, this is a trip for you.

My friends and I did an 8 day custom tour of Senegal and LOVED it! Amadou Barry oversaw our trip and patiently answered our never ending questions (he knows his country!!!) and the local guides he had were knowledgeable and delightful. I especially liked seeing the fish market in Dakar, seeing the fishing area in Saint Louis, the enslavement buildings on Goree Island, the artist colonies, driving into the desert where we camped and rode camels, riding narrow boats to Shell Island. A beautiful country! Don’t miss Agsil Senegal Travel Tours! Margaret Hegg
