What To Expect
Arch 22
The Arch 22 is a monument located in on the Banjul-Serrekunda Highway. The monument was built to mark the military coup in 1994 through which former president Yahya Jammeh came to power. The arch is 35 meters high and is designed by a senegalese architect called Pierre Goudiaby Atepa. Goudiaby Atepa hasdesigned a lot of interesting buildings such as the BCEAO bank headquarters in Dakar and the ECOWAS building in Lomé, Togo. You also find the Arch depicted on the back of the 100 dalasi. The lift to the Arch is not always working so you might have to climb some stairs.
The National museum of the Gambia presents historical and cultural artefacts from the colonial history of the Gambia. The museum opened in 1985 and has an archeological section and also a historical section. The exhibitions are curated by mr Hassoum Ceesay who is a well known historian. If you are interested knowing more about the history of the Gambia – this is the place to go!

Unusual delightful trip

4.00We booked the Banjul, culture and history tour, we were told via whats app the time for pickup and who would pick us up. On the day at port it was a bit confusing to find the pickup area it turned out to be outside the port gates. We stood with about 14 other people (of different ages and abilities) who has booked slightly different tours but it turned out we were all meeting the same person. We were waiting for 2 more guests show up but they never came. The mini bus turned up after a while and some people were a little concerned about the size of the transport for 16 people, it looked like a 8 seater mini bus but with the seats taken out and some benches fitted in there place. Any way we all got in and it was a cosy fit. Banjul is a very busy area and be prepared for it. We first visited the market which was an eye opener to be sure, we had a guide explaining everything to us. Next was the museum which only took local currency which none of us had (it would be helpful if any entrance fees were added to the cost of the tour to save this problem in future). The bank across the road sent someone over to the museum to change cash for (very helpful you wouldn't get this anywhere else). We changed some dollars and paid to go in (nobody else on our trip did). We quite enjoyed the the museum its not like you would get anywhere else out of Africa but interesting all the same. The next stop was Arch 22 again we were the only 2 in the group to go up and to be fair this was a great place to go (apart from the walk upstairs, easy for some) the views were great and at the top the tour guide was excellent at is job and very informative. Then back to the port. I can see why it may not be everyones cut of tea but we really enjoyed the day , we don'tmind roughing it at times and i do have problemswith my knees. Jarry was a good guide and a lovely person.
Not the best tour I have...

2.00Not the best tour I have been on. Rather a decrepit mini bus and filled to capacity. The guides were perfectly pleasant and did their best but we stopped after the tour of Banjul although we had also booked an afternoon tour.
The tour team turned up...

1.00The tour team turned up more than half an hour late. The vehicle was in poor condition with 17 people packed into it (14 customers and 3 in the tour team. The highlights were limited to the market, the museum of Gambia and Arch 22. There was no commentary. Information had to be obtained by asking questions. All in all very disappointing.
Totally Disappointed

1.00There were 16 guests plus 2 tour guides and a driver, total 19 people had to squeeze in a small van. Both guides were very unprofessional, they never gave information until we raised some questions. The meeting time was 9:00 AM, but we didn't leave until 9:30. The tour was supposed to be 4 hours long, but we were taken back to port by 12:30 PM. We're very disappointed about the tour and will never recommend it to anyone.
Great Introduction to Banjul

5.00Buba is very accommodating. Enjoyed our city tour. I am dull of questions and Buba was patient with my inquisitive nature. Thanks for everything Buba.
