Oumar was an excellent guide and would highly recommend, when visiting Dakar! Saw so much, learned quite a bit, as well

We spent an hour trying to find the guide as he was not there when we left the ship. Very mediocre trip and we would have been better finding a guide on our own.

1 Place de l'independance 10 minutes • Admission Ticket Free - it is a square / little park open to the public , the fountain didn't work. We were there about 2 minutes.
Presidential Palace (Pass By) - we did, saw one guard in a flash.
2 Cathedrale du Souvenir Africain de Dakar 20 minutes • Admission Ticket Free - nice stop, free entry, around 10 minutes.
3 Grand Mosque of Dakar One of the few mosques in Dakar open to non-Moslems for a visit. 15 minutes • Admission Ticket Free - We did not go to this mosque (no idea why not).
4 Universite Cheikh Anta Diop (UCAD) 20 minutes • Admission Ticket Free - We did not pass by or go to the university at all. (!)
5 Mosque of the Divinity 10 minutes • Admission Ticket Free - We stopped high up on the road, for 1 minute, the guide told me that it is not possible to go in. (admission ticket free???)
6 African Renaissance Monument 30 minutes • Admission Ticket Free - They made me pay 10.000 francs at the entry!
7 Market Soumbedioune The largest arts and crafts market.
30 minutes • Admission Ticket Free - We did not visit this market, they took me to the Kermel Market, we walked through in 5 minutes and that was the end of the tour.
So, I did see some things I wanted to see, but the excursion is not at all as described and paid for. When I mentioned after almost 2 hours on the way that the excursion included "bottled water", the guide got angry and called his boss.

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.
