    This is hands down the best way to get an authentic taste of life in Dakar. This is not run by a tour company, but rather one guy who has lived here all his life and wants people to see what the daily life is like for someone who lives here. Malou picks you up on his motorcycle and takes you to several markets to see how the locals shop, try classic Senegalese food from multiple small and hidden places, and show off several cool places where locals work, hang our, or relax, all while giving his perspective on what it’s like to live here and the challenges/advantages that come with it. The majority of the tour you will spend time in places no other tourists will ever go. I’ve taken dozens of tours from all around the world, and this is the only one where I truly felt like I got an experience that showed what life truly is like as a local. I cannot recommend this enough.

    Préparez vous à être un vrais sénégalais le temps d’une journée ! Le guide Malou connais Dakar comme ça poche, il vous amène hors des sentiers touristiques pour vous faire découvrir plusieurs quartiers avec leurs spécialités. Avec Malou on mange bien et bon, on boit pas mal de café aussi 😉. A l’arrivèrent du Vespa vous êtes en sécurité, la conduite est prudente. Pour finir la journée nous sommes allé manger sur la plage avec ces amis musiciens et chanteurs devant un beau couché de soleil. Malou et Béa, merci pour cette journée !

    An impressive experience to get to know the local culture and community. Very well organized and managed by Bea. The guide Malou is an expert in his profession and a very nice and welcoming person. Had breakfast and lunch with locals. I got many interesting insights with a lot of valuable background information. I can highly recommend this tour.

    I am a local guide , and very often receive tourists, who come from different countries, we drive around to see the sights in Dakar (Renaissance Monument, Soumbédioune Handicraft Village, Museum of Black Civilizations, ..), we also stop at 1:30 pm, for lunch in a Senegalese restaurant, then continue our visit. And these are wonderful times.
