I 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.

Amadou 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!

We 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

I 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

Amazing tour! Traveled solo but never felt solo. If you are in Dakar, this trip covers all of the tourist attractions in the city, plus, the beautiful island of Goree. Thank you for a well organized tour.

I think the tour gives a comprehensive view of both Dakar and Goree Island. Goree in and of itself is a must if you are ever in this part of the world; the island is a historical reminder of the perils Africans faced during the trans-Atlantic slave trade. Overall, I felt safe, heard, and understood, while also seeing the major tourist sights in Dakar.
