Fabulous tour. Important history

Peter_P, Nov 2025
Goree Island has a sad history associated with the Atlantic Slave Trade. This tour can be emotional. Seeing the harsh conditions people endured was moving. However the spirit in the town is upbeat, jovial and welcoming. People are friendly. Lots of great places to eat. Great art for sale. Souvenirs are plentiful - good selection and great prices. The island is picturesque. Great spot for photographers

Very unorganized and...

Very unorganized and overpriced - nobody told us we needed a passport to enter the ferry. we only saw one part of the island and were not taken to the historical museum of Senegal.

Expérience à vivre sans aucune hésitation !

Grâce à notre guide Ousmane, passionné par l'histoire de son pays, nous avons appris énormément sur l'esclavagisme sur l'île de Gorée Nous avons passé un très bon moment avec lui, très précis dans ses explications et avons obtenu toutes les réponses à nos questions Très bonne organisation en général (chauffeur ponctuel)
