Fantastic! - What a fantastic day!
This day really shows you everything about Gambia. The markets are an experience in themselves and the visit to the school is also very nice.
On paradise beach we had a lovely lunch and enjoyed the view.
The fish market was also very nice.
Our guide did it so nice and relaxed. Just right for us. I love that we had a private tour so we could do everything at our pace.

Excellent day out! - We had an excellent day out with Babou. He was very well informed, friendly and helpful. He was happy to answer our questions, including some about his own personal circumstances and his family. My husband and I were the only ones on the trip so it was great having our own personal guide and also easy to be very flexible. For example, I think we may have spent longer in the Crocodile Park and then didn't have enough time for the school visit (it was Friday and they attend only half day on Fridays) so instead Babou added a visit to the livestock market into the schedule, which we found very interesting. The craft market was less interesting for us, and we didn't stay long, but the Serrakunda market was good; it would be easy to spend a few hours there! Paradise Beach is really beautiful, very chilled. We had a tasty and not expensive lunch there. The fishing village was interesting but as I don't like fish (or their smell!) it was less fun for me! However, overall it was a really good day trip. Remember that the roads are not very good and travelling from A to B can take a while.
Highly recommend Babou, a really lovely man and a great guide.

Brilliant day trip with Babou - We had an excellent day with our guide Babou. He was very well informed, friendly and helpful.
He was happy to answer all of our questions, including some about his own personal circumstances and family, such as schools in Gambia . His English was very good. We were the only two on this trip so it was great having our very own personal guide. We were happy to amend the trip slightly. As it was Friday the school had half day so we were too late for that and we went instead to an animal/livestock market, which was very interesting .
We found Babou to be a very good guide and can highly recommend his tours.
