Best Way To Spend Our First Day In Dakar! - We could not have asked for a better first day in Dakar! This was our first trip to Senegal and Amadou was such an amazing guide and first person to introduce us to the amazing city of Dakar. We learned, laughed, and saw so much of the city. Visiting Gorée Island was a true highlight of our trip. We enjoyed our time with Amadou so much we booked a second tour with him later in our stay. Our boys (ages 15 and 11) said the tours with Amadou were the highlights of our trip!

An exceptional day tour, HIGHLY recommended - I only had 1 day in Dakar with my family. We had an amazing experience with Agsil Senegal. The welcoming atmosphere and attentive guides made us feel right at home. They kept in touch with me from day 1.
Amadou, in particular, was very patient with our kids, knowledgeable of the history, time-oriented to make sure we covered as much as possible. I felt very connected with the enthusiasm he had when giving us the history of Dakar.
He also accommodated all my special requests.
Highly recommended

Dakar and Goree Island - Amazing tour! Traveled solo but never felt solo. If you are in Dakar, this trip covers all of the tourist attractions in the city, plus, the beautiful island of Goree. Thank you for a well organized tour.

I think the tour gives a... - I think the tour gives a comprehensive view of both Dakar and Goree Island. Goree in and of itself is a must if you are ever in this part of the world; the island is a historical reminder of the perils Africans faced during the trans-Atlantic slave trade. Overall, I felt safe, heard, and understood, while also seeing the major tourist sights in Dakar.

An enjoyable day to remember, a dream fulfilled - Lately I have been giving much thought to my week-long visit to Dakar, Senegal. That week only whetted my appetite to return to visit much more of the country. I traveled solo, but had an organized day tour by Agsil Travel Tours led by the very organized and knowledgeable Amadou Barry. I was picked up at my hotel at the exact specified time by Amadou and the driver. We started by driving around Dakar and visiting such sites as the Kermel Market and the Dakar Cathedral where Pope John Paul 11 visited years ago. We saw much of Dakar, including the drive along the Atlantic Ocean away from the bustle of the city to the impressive African Renaissance Monument and museum near the beaches of Yoff. The museum taught me a lot about famous black historical figures I had often heard about like Malcolm X, Patrice Lumumba and Robert Mugabe.
Next came the boat ride to Goree Island.
Amadou had arranged for a separate guide for the island. The island, in spite of its tragic history of being very active in the Atlantic slave trade, is very beautiful and peaceful now.
The entire day’s tour was most enjoyable and also educational. There is so much more I want to see in Senegal like Bandia Wildlife Park and the colonial town of Saint-Louis. When I return, I will certainly want another tour by Amadou of Agsil Senegal Travel Tour Group

Shambolic tour - Disappointing tour for a hugely inflated price. I took the tour while the ship I was on was in port. The guide had individual sheets of paper for every passenger so couldn't even manage to hold them all up at once. Why not get a board and write all names on it? I and another lady were told to wait while he located other attendees. Ages later, someone from Agsil asked where our guide was. How should we know? Turned out he set off without us. We were put on another bus with an equally useless guide, and the dire organisational skills of Agsil meant we missed the ferry to Gorée Island that we were meant to take so spent another hour sitting waiting for the next one. Once we arrived at the island, I asked if we could wander around and meet back at the ferry, but he insisted we stay together. What a waste of time! He gave us ages at places we didn't need masses of time and skipped others, and he regularly disappeared so we had no idea where he was. Eventually I and others wandered off so we could see the place, and we met up at the ferry. Once we disembarked in Dakar, he decided we didn't have time to see all the places on the itinerary, so we drove past some and skipped others, stopping only to take photos at a monument and mosque.
AN APPALLING WASTE OF €190.

Overpriced, deceptive and badly organized - The person at the port was not holding an Agsil sign and did not have our names.
The operator mostly did not respond to my messages. The pickup was a big mess!
At Goree Island we had only 15 minutes to see the museum because the guide wasted 2.5 hours showing us irrelevant parts of the island and sending us to shops.
There was no bottled water in the bus even though the operator informed me that there would be....
We did not stop at Place de l'Independence or Marche Kermel or the Presidential Palace - could not even take a photo in these places.
We were not allowed to enter the Cathedral.
Overall this was a very expensive tour which was badly organized and not worth the cost at all.
