3.00We were on a planned excursion with the RIU Resort...they should organize it so that they have more time to visit Dakar, as in the morning you are on Gorè Island and in the afternoon in Dakar, but too little time...to improve. This criticism was made by various people who participated with us

5.00A big heartfelt thank you to our guide Lamine and the driver who picked us up from our hotel and showed us around the city and the island of Gorée. We highly suggest them if you want to be serene and discover the key points of history and the city, while skipping the crowds! Lamine took great care of us and we felt like vip’s as it was just me and my companion that day. He is a well mannered and cultivated person with lots of stories and good sense of humour, easy to talk to and loved by many people as we witnessed wherever we’ve been to!
Excellent guide!

5.00This experience was amazing! Lamine knew so much history and was so engaging. He also knew the right places to prioritize to experience the Maison de Esclaves with as few other tourists as possible. We did have to ask to go to the mosque at the end, so just be mindful of what’s included & make a request if you must. But otherwise, we absolutely loved this tour & would recommend.
Excellent guide
