To speak English is one thing, but to be able to guide tours in clearly-spoken English is another

Having lived in Chicago for over 12 years and conducted tours at the DUSABLE Museum of African-American History has given me an insight different from other tour guides and allows me to share my unique experience with people interested in Slave Trade History. This Pilgrimage destination has become one of the largest Slave Depot on the African continent. With the right guidance, you will get a clear picture of the last weeks of the Slaves before being shipped across the ocean to American destinations. The island is revered as more of a pilgrimage site.

When you visit the infamous House of Slave, you will get an idea of the sad history of this lovely place but you will also learn the story of millions of Africans whose lives were traumatized, disrupted, and the atrocities that our Forefathers went through for over three centuries

PS: REMEMBER TO BRING YOUR PASSPORT WITH YOU

    Oumar was THE BEST GUIDE EVER!!! He was knowledgeable, kind, and patient with all of our questions. You must request Oumar. The tour is sobering and emotional to see how badly one group of humans can treat their fellow man. You have to take this tour

  • Wonderful Service, Emotional Day

    From the moment we were picked up at our hotel, we were learning about the Dakar of yesterday and today. We were met at the ferry by our guide who couldn't have been more knowledgeable about Goree Island (born and raised). He walked us around the island all day in just the right way to avoid it feeling like another tourist stop. They made it incredibly personal and even more poignant than it would typically be.
