To speak English is one thing, but to be able to guide tours in clearly-spoken English is another
Having lived in Chicago for over 12 years and conducted tours at the DUSABLE Museum of African-American History has given me an insight different from other tour guides and allows me to share my unique experience with people interested in Slave Trade History. This Pilgrimage destination has become one of the largest Slave Depot on the African continent. With the right guidance, you will get a clear picture of the last weeks of the Slaves before being shipped across the ocean to American destinations. The island is revered as more of a pilgrimage site.
When you visit the infamous House of Slave, you will get an idea of the sad history of this lovely place but you will also learn the story of millions of Africans whose lives were traumatized, disrupted, and the atrocities that our Forefathers went through for over three centuries

5.00Great 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.
Amazing, eye opening trip of Goree Island

5.00I 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.
VERY EYE OPENING...

5.00My 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!

5.00Oumar was an excellent tour guide! He picked us up at our hotel on time in a comfortable, air-conditioned van. He guided us through the ferry onboarding process and took us around the island. His English is excellent and he answered any questions we had.
Senegal hospitality at its best for Goree Island visit

5.00My visit to Gorée Island was a deeply moving experience, made even more special by the fact that I was the only traveler in my group. This private setting allowed for a truly personal connection with my guide, Oumar, who has been leading tours here for over 30 years. His expertise is second to none; he is incredibly gregarious and seemed to know every resident we passed, making me feel like a welcomed guest rather than just a tourist. Oumar’s English is excellent, and his commentary at the House of Slaves was profound. He provided haunting details about the "Door of No Return," the narrow portal through which enslaved people were forced onto ships, leaving their homeland forever. Witnessing that site while Oumar shared its heavy history was a moment I will never forget. We followed the tour with a fabulous lunch near the ferry terminal and a thoughtful walk around the island. I highly recommend this agency for anyone seeking a meaningful journey.

5.00My daughter and I had a terrific tour to Gorée Island. What was best about the tour, beyond the impact of the history of the island, was the excellent quality of our tour guide - Sylvestre. Sylvestre, amongst Gorée Island tour guides, is what you would call the Dean of the Tour Guides. He is known by everybody and highly respected. His knowledge of Dakar, Gorée Island, and Sénégal is incomparable. Highly recommended!
Memorable experience

5.00Mr. Oumar was the best tour guide one can ask for. He is very knowledgeable. We learned so much on this tour, if we have to do it again, it will definitely be with Mr. Oumar. Book your tour, there is so much to learn in Senegal and Mr. Oumar is the right person to educate you.
