Dynamic Dakar - Our tour guide Oumar met us at the cruise port with a smile and a car waiting within 100 yards of our docked cruise ship. He quickly gave us facts and a history of not only Dakar but Senegal in general. Since there were only the two of us Oumar kept with our pace and thoroughly described all the sites that were listed in the itinerary with very good English. Our tour was for a half day and I felt he delivered on giving us exactly what we were looking for, nothing long and tedious, but an overview of the city as our time in Dakar was limited.. I would highly recommend this itinerary and our guide as it was one of the best tours we had taken on the west African coast.

Dakar Delight - Brilliant tour in the company of Oumar and Mamadou. Super-friendly, fun and interesting, they really looked after us and made the whole trip really enjoyable. I wish all tours could be as good as this one.

Great 1/2 day in Dakar - Omar our guide was enthusiastic and knowledgeable. We were picked up at the pier and shown the highlights of Dakar. We particularly appreciated being asked if we wanted to go to a crafts village, instead of being taken there. Would recommend this company

Decent Senegal tour - Ishmael was very knowledgeable about the city. He had lots of facts and information on Senegal. When Otherwise, I would not have been able to go to the top. I would recommend the service and the half day tour since it was informative and I would never have seen all those places on my own.

A great impression of Dakar in four hours and rich in information - Great to discover another West African country. Apart from being a nice and knowledgeable guide, Mr Amadou knew what additional information would be of interest to me.

5 hours of sightseeing - Lots of street views as we made our way thru traffic. Museums closed on Monday so unable to visit. Visited the modern train station, Central Square, Market, Catholic Cathedral, Mosque and drove by various government buildings.
