Halvdagstur GOREE Island Tour: The Heritage Tour
Beskrivning
Att prata engelska är en sak, men att kunna guida turer på tydligt talad engelska är en annan Att ha bott i Chicago i över 12 år och genomfört turer på DUSABLE Museum of African-American History har gett mig en insikt som skiljer sig från andra reseguider och gör att jag kan dela min unika erfarenhet med människor som är intresserade av slavhandelshistoria. Denna pilgrimsmål har blivit en av de största slavdepåerna på den afrikanska kontinenten. Med rätt vägledning får du en tydlig bild av de sista veckorna av Slaves innan de skeppas över havet till amerikanska destinationer. Ön är vördad som mer av en pilgrimsfärdsplats. När du besöker det ökända House of Slave får du en uppfattning om den sorgliga historien om denna underbara plats, men du kommer också att lära dig historien om miljontals afrikaner vars liv var traumatiserade, störda och de grymheter som våra förfäder gick igenom i över tid. tre århundraden PS: KOM IHÅG ATT TA MED DIG PASS

I visited Senegal for the first time as a solo female traveller, so I was understandably a little nervous. From the moment I met Oumar, he made me feel completely at ease. He was professional, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable, which made the entire experience so much more enjoyable. His English was excellent, so communication was effortless throughout the trip, which was a concern of mine since I don't speak any French. The tour itself exceeded all my expectations. Oumar made sure I was able to see and do everything I had hoped for, while also sharing local insights and recommendations that I wouldn't have discovered on my own. He was flexible, patient, and always happy to answer my questions, making the experience feel both personal and authentic. As a solo traveller, feeling safe was incredibly important to me, and I felt comfortable and well looked after at all times. Thanks to Oumar, I was able to relax and fully enjoy everything Senegal has to offer. I can't recommend Oumar highly enough. If you're planning a trip to Senegal—whether you're travelling solo, with friends, or as a family—you won't regret booking with him. He played a huge part in making my first visit to Senegal such a memorable and unforgettable experience.
Oumar was an incredible and knowledgable guide. He is passionate about sharing Senegalese history and he makes you feel welcome. Having a private guide is such a great way to get the most of the experience and to learn more than you would if you went alone or with a large group.
It was a great experience We not only got a top of the line tour of Goree, I enjoyed the Senegal history and facts on the ride to the port. Would highly recommend
Our guide was very knowledgeable and passionate about giving us the full experience of GOREE island. Very responsive and picked us up on time. Highly recommend.
Oumar was an exemplary guide with a deep understanding of the history of both Dakar and Goree Island. Spending the day with him was a treat and I would 100% recommend this tour to anyone looking to learn more about the island’s story and share company with an incredibly personable guide!
Great tour — very informative and interesting. Be prepared to wait a while for the outbound ferry, which can be quite crowded. But it is great opportunity to watch the locals.
I had originally booked to meet the guide at the port & that was cancelled. I booked the next one & the guide met us at the hotel. Oumar was prompt, had a nice mini van for us & the other 3 travelers with us. Going to the port on your own can be chaotic. Oumar is like the governor, he knows everyone, he knew where to take us so it wasn’t too loud to hear. He is passionate about the tale & emotions of Goree island. A place where cruelty against other humans was in full sight. I recommend the trip with a guide to get the full understanding of the place. If you bring larger US bills with you, the locals are getting many US dollar bills that are hard for them to change. If you can trade 20 of the $1 for a $20. It really helps them out. Thank you Oumar, it was a memorable experience. We also visited a sand painters studio. It was so fun to see him create a picture from the sand.
My husband and I went on an informative and emotional tour with the passionate and knowledgeable Oumar. It was such a sad, yet truly amazing day—one very well spent. We thought we were fairly knowledgeable about the history of that time period, but Oumar really opened our eyes to many things we had been unaware of. I truly hope he writes a book one day. Thank you, Oumar, for such a fulfilling and unforgettable day!
Omaur was very informative and so passionate his city and Goree Island. Vehicle was very comfortable with AC.
Excellent tour and tour guide. Great understanding of the history and a friendly manner. Highly recommend the tour and the guide.
