Pape, our tour guide and new friend made this trip amazing. We had a fun time touring the African markets, everything from regular stores to stalls where you haggle the price of everything. These people bargain hard! After a solid period of time shopping, we went to a beautiful seafood restaurant on the beach, with some of the best fish I've ever had. I've only been gone from Senegal a few days and I already miss it. If you ever go to Senegal ask Pape to clear his schedule and take you everywhere. He will make your trip unforgettable.

Headed to Senegal I thought Youssou N'Dour was the king of Dakar, but once we arrived I realized it might be Pape from Visit Senegal. We did two tours with him during our trip and they were great. Pape knows so many people and is so well connected he can pretty much accommodate any request you may have or arrange any kind of experience. The Dakar City Tour is the perfect way to get your bearings at the beginning of your trip and introduces the different parts of the city well. Goree Island is a must do as well, and Pape's approach of doing the tour backwards helps you miss the crowds. On our first day we told him that we were interested in eating local food and he switched things up on the fly so we could do lunch at a local market and try all the different dishes, he also built in a stop before our Goree tour for us to grab some street breakfast by the ferry. Highly recommend booking with these guys if you're headed to Senegal.

Fantastic experience with Pape. We saw different sides of the city, learnt about the history and culture, and ate (lots!) of delicious local food. Would highly recommend!
