Description
FULL-DAY DAKAR CITY TOUR AND GOREE ISLAND
It is not easy to really experience DAKAR on your own. If you take a standard city tour, you will see a whole lot for sure, but, in all probability, the DAKAR experience will escape you without the expertise of a knowledgeable guide to show you the hidden spots. You get your very own private air-conditioned vehicle and your professional guide there every step of the way to give you history and answer any questions you may have as well.
You will also visit GOREE Island, one of the most important Slave-processing centers in West Africa. Slaves were brought here against their will, under inhuman living conditions, and suffering unspeakable abuse. A visit to the Door-Of-No-Return in the infamous SLAVE HOUSE, will give you a real sense of why GOREE is the most visited attraction in SENEGAL.
YOU CANNOT VISIT DAKAR AND SKIP GOREE ISLAND.
