Private Half-Day Dakar City Tour: Layover tour

Oumar was great - very knowledgeable and a fun tour guide. Flexible with our schedule. Definitely recommend both his company and this half day tour of Dakar that hit all the highlights in the limited time we had available!

We took the tour to be able to see as much of Dakar as possible during our short stay. Pape was a excellent guide and Ali was a safe and kind driver. We have had interesting, informative and very well guided and organised tour. Recommend wholeheartedly.

We met Oumar for a half day private tour AFTER we had already taken a couple of other tours around the city / area. We were on a short time line of a few days so we wanted to see and experience all we could. I have to say that even after experiencing a couple of very good excursions in my opinion, Oumar and Senegal Odyssey Tours was BY FAR the most informed and informative, the most engaging and intuitive, the most concerned in terms of protecting my interest than any other excursion guides. I do not say this to imply that the others were less than deserving because they were not. We were highly pleased and appreciative with all the excursions that we experienced. What I am saying is that Oumar and his company was head and shoulders above all the others. By the time we met Oumar for our excursion we had already seen the highlights so we had a specific agenda in mind and not just the basic tour. Oumar quickly adjusted to our requests by taking us to local markets usually not experienced by casual travelers and aggressively protecting our interest in local negotiations. There was never any concern for our welfare in this back and forth. Just that having intimate knowledge of customs and techniques, he was able to always steer us to the right deal with vendors. If you have been to Dakar you know that this negotiation is a cherished tradition and sport and it takes a very knowledgeable person to get the best out of it. Even though we were looking at a custom agenda we did revisit some of the standard site seeing destinations where Oumar's knowledge and perspective were showcased as well above and beyond the norm. We learned twice the knowledge and understanding of previous tours and, as I said, they were all good in our opinion. I am pleased to highly recommend Senegal Odyssey Tours and Oumar as BY FAR the best and most knowledgeable excursion vendor in Dakar, Senegal. You will not be disappointed. Thank you Oumar for your skill, knowledge and friendship.
