Terranga and touring from Agsil

5.00We spent a week in Senegal in Feb 2026. We had such a fantastic week exploring parts of this beautiful country and were delighted to have picked Amodou and Agsil Senegal to guide us. Amodou represented the terranga I'd read about - adapting the tour to our needs, planning and arranging transfers for us, dealing with any issues and teaching us about Dakar. We'd engaged Agsil to take us on a bespoke Dakar/Goree tour, transfers from the airport to Dakar, to Saly, a Bandia trip, to Sine Saloum and back to DSS. His driver was wonderful too - adding details in French on our transfers, dealing with my forgetful 14-year-old who left his phone in the car and also on another day brought a hotel key (actual key) from one hotel to another!

5.00I traveled alone to Dakar, Senegal and wondered how I would be received. However, I was very happy to experience a warm welcome. I was treated as a Queen. My tour guide Amadou was very knowledgeable, accommodating and supportive. For Goree Island my experience was equally as good with 'What'. I felt like family. I had a wonderful experience. I highly recommend for anyone seeking an exceptional experience.
Very good experience

4.00Amadou was great! He picked me up from my hotel early so that we can make the Ferry on time. Elijah gave a great tour of Gorée Island. Very personal 1 on 1 attention. Amadou gave me a great history lesson on Dakar and Senegal. At Gorée Island, Elijah walked me through the slave mansion and through the town. He talked about what it was like growing up on the island, and gave a real life history lesson on what our ancestors faced while captive on the island. This tour was life changing. I would give 5 stars, but the site won’t allow me.
Wonderful Day Tour!

Best Way To Spend Our First Day In Dakar!

5.00We could not have asked for a better first day in Dakar! This was our first trip to Senegal and Amadou was such an amazing guide and first person to introduce us to the amazing city of Dakar. We learned, laughed, and saw so much of the city. Visiting Gorée Island was a true highlight of our trip. We enjoyed our time with Amadou so much we booked a second tour with him later in our stay. Our boys (ages 15 and 11) said the tours with Amadou were the highlights of our trip!
An exceptional day tour, HIGHLY recommended

5.00I only had 1 day in Dakar with my family. We had an amazing experience with Agsil Senegal. The welcoming atmosphere and attentive guides made us feel right at home. They kept in touch with me from day 1. Amadou, in particular, was very patient with our kids, knowledgeable of the history, time-oriented to make sure we covered as much as possible. I felt very connected with the enthusiasm he had when giving us the history of Dakar. He also accommodated all my special requests. Highly recommended
