Experience the religion of Togo in Togoville - It was a wonderful experience of Lake Togo. I went alone and the guide was flexible. Communication was smooth and helpful. The religious experience in Togoville is special.

Beautiful tour !! Highly recommended - I loved this tour! I booked it the day before and even if my hotel was not in the list of pick-up location they picked me up from where I was staying. Very professional tour operator.
Seli (the guide) was very friendly and gave me a lot of explanation about the places we were visiting and the Togo culture. He bought for me some street African food to try and we had a traditional togolese lunch! He was always with me and I felt safe at all time!
It is a perfect tour to get a quick insight into the country and culture.
I definitely recommend it!

Great day excursion out of Lome - We went with Kossi to Aneho and Togoville. The trip was well facilitated, comfortable and very informative. The lunch stop at Miadjoe in Aneho was great, although there wasn't much else to see. The boat ride across lake Togo to Togoville and the tour of the town were wonderful.

Excellent tour - Would recommend this tour if you’re looking for a good understanding of the culture and history of Togo. The company was extremely professional and even helped me navigate issues around a cancelled flight.

A excellent introduction to the Togo coast - This trip started off with the Fetish Market, then went on to the Agbodrafo slave house, then a boat across Lake Togo and a guided tour of the historic village of Togoville. After that there was a stop for lunch in an idyllic fishing village. Afterwards, returned to Lome and a visit to the Palais de Lome. I would say this tour is a great introduction to one of Africa's lesser known countries. Jules and Seli were excellent hosts and went out of their way to make sure I got the most out of the experience

Fantastic and Unforgettable Experience - This Private Full Day Tour to Agbodrafo Togoville and Aneho was beyond excellent!!!!! If I could rate it as a 10, I would. First, in orchestrating the trip I had many questions, they were answered quickly by phone and the local company went out of their way to respond to my emails and also pick my up at my hotel which was not one of the stated locations. The driver and guide were not only on time, but sent confirmation emails to ensure I would be there. The guide was excellent and went above and beyond to make sure the trip was informative and enjoyable. I learned so much during the tour. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Lome, in Togo. I would also recommend Viator as a reliable company to book with.

Voodoo you can touch - A very selected tour. The tour guides are super friendly and explain every point very carefully and share their knowledge.
The advance information and communication was excellent. It was a tour just for me.
In the morning I was picked up from my accommodation by my guides Senji and Joules, I hope I spelled both correctly.
We then went straight to the fetish market, where voodoo magic is omnipresent. Great things can be admired here. Everyone here is friendly and open-minded. Here you can learn a lot about the “religion” Voodoo.
Afterwards we went to a slave house, also supported by UNESCO, where you get an impression of when a person is just a commodity. Very depressing, but describes in depth what happened back then.
We continued on a small boat across Lake Togo, which everyone uses for transfer, to Togoville, the place that gives the country its name. Here my guides knew the perfect local who knew every street and every story.
Finally there was a very delicious meal by the river.
Overall, a very, very worthwhile tour. Very informative, fun and always safe.
Thank you for this great day!

A weekend in Togo - William and Nestor were thoughtful and hospitable guides. This trip packs a lot in and you come away with a real appreciation for Togolese culture and history, from voodoo practices and art to colonial past.

Nice tour - We arrived via cruise ship. We were picked up at the port as agreed. The tour took us to all the places as described. Our guide spoke good English but he was a bit reserved, maybe somewhat disinterested as the day went on. There was a local guide at each of the stops who explained what we were seeing. There was an expectation of a tip for each of these guides. Of course, tipping was optional. Some in the group tipped, others didn't. We stopped at a restaurant where there was a buffet lunch (our own expense). We asked to go someplace for a beer and a snack instead, which we did. I have to warn that the fetish market might be offensive to some people. There are tables with animal heads and other parts lined up as this is all part of voodoo rituals.

2 dead batteries and running out of gas in a poorly maintained vehicle - This tour was not advertised. Private tour meant your party was the only ones in the car but all cars filled with groups from our ship were to travel together. If someone needed to stop we all stopped. This is not a private tour. No WiFi or water was available. Air conditioning was open windows in very poorly maintained vehicles. The battery in our vehicle died at the first stop, the Fetish Market. Another battery was installed. So our driver and guide decided to drive us to Togoville. After about 2 hours we hadn’t arrived but the battery died again because the alternator wasn’t charging the battery. We were in the middle of nowhere on a dirt road. The driver had to wait for a motorbike to come by and give him a ride to the nearest village to get another battery. When he got back he installed the battery. The car started and immediately died again. This time the vehicle was out of gas. Again we had to wait for a motorbike to come by so that the guide could find a taxi to take us back to the ship. We did make it back to the ship before sailing but saw nothing except the Fetish Market. We should receive a refund for this trip because we did not see what was listed as sights we would see. By the way when I finally got WiFi it seems that we were not even on the right road to Togoville. No wonder we just kept driving seeing nothing but one or two little houses once in a while. When the people in the other cars asked where we were, they were told we were having a nice lunch which was not true. What a disappointing tour.
