As you choose this tour, the number one thing on your mind is: why should I use this GUIDE instead of the others?
Well, I have lived in the USA for over 12 years and all of my tours are SOLELY conducted in ENGLISH.
It is not easy to really experience Dakar on your own. You may take a standard city tour. Sure, you will see a lot but, in all probability, the Dakar experience will escape you without the expertise of a knowledgeable guide to show you the hidden spots. As I take you on this popular tour combination, my whole goal is not to make you love DAKAR the way I do, but to make you understand it in order to turn your visit into a long-lasting memory. However, you cannot visit Dakar without seeing Goree island. The last place African Slaves saw before being shipped across the ocean never to return. A visit to the Door-Of-No-Return in the Slave House will give you a sense of why GOREE is the most visited place in the country.
PS: REMEMBER TO BRING YOUR PASSPORT WITH YOU.

5.00We had the opportunity to tour Goree Island and the city of Dakar with Oumar as our guide and companion for the day. His English language skills are exceptional and after 25+ years as a local guide, he has an immense knowledge of Dakar and the area in general. You can tell that he is also passionate about what he does and that it is important for him that you leave with positive views of Dakar and its history, (along with a great meal at a local restaurant that he includes). If you intend to visit Dakar then I suggest you immediately reach out to Oumar and arrange for him to be your guide for the day.
Oumar is outstanding!!

5.00We had an amazing and informative tour with Oumar! It was clear that Oumar was not just a tour guide, but a passionate advocate and keeper of history. We have travelled the globe extensively and Oumar not only defines but raises the bar for professional tour guides here in Senegal and beyond. Highly recommended.

5.00We had a great day with our guide. He made sure we left early to catch the early ferry to avoid the evening congestion. Goree was a very moving place but also beautiful. Lunch on Goree was nice also. We did a city tour afterwards and that was great as well. Highly recommend this tour.

5.00It was a fantastic experience. Oumar was a fantastic guide. I highly recommend his services. Don't book a shore excursion via the cruise ship, when you can have this instead.
