We had a great guide, named "Respect". He was very informative, and it was wonderful to interact with the children. I am hopeful that the leaders of the country, give financial help, as it is very much needed.

This tour was one of the highlights of my trip to Nigeria and the best one I attended. The person giving the tour was the son of a community leader in the town and did an excellent job showing me around, explaining about their community and hopes for the future. I went on a Sunday so got to hear the vibrant church services but not see the kids at school. If you want that latter experience, I’d recommend choosing a weekday. The price was expensive (about 200 US dollars for about 90 minutes in the community) and I hope that was due to a large portion of that is going back to the community to help with their efforts to improve children’s education rather than most going to the tour agency. My one disappointment is I wish I had been invited into their church especially after tipping the church leader after being asked to do so. I suppose I could have asked but as hospitality wasn’t extended in that part, it felt rude to force the issue.

One of the best experience I have ever had. You feel like in a documentary. Kids at the school were fantastic and full of smile. You feel super peaceful among them. I should have spend more time there.. Boat trip was another level of experience, kinda once in a lifetime. Only negative thing I can say, it was a bit short trip. It might be like an hour longer..

Truly one of the most memorable parts of my trip. I went solo and felt very safe with my guide. Seeing a different part of the land opened my eyes. If you’re thinking about going just do it. Look at life from a different perspective. The travel group I booked through was also very accommodating. I will be booking with the company again in the future

This is a great tour to see how is this special village in Lagos, and what I’ve seen will be a great memory in the future. The tour is very safe, all things are arranged and you don’t need to worry anything. Highly recommend, thank you!
