This trip is a must if you want to learn more about Gambia history and culture. Our guide was really informative. There are 4 stops (not including lunch at the end) which were all different and interesting. Perfect half day trip.

Nice little tour, very informative and friendly guide. Paced out to capture Banjul with time to stop and take in the surroundings, trade stops well managed so didn't feel pressured to buy as you can sometimes

Banjul is a small city with very few really interesting sights. However, the tour is worthwhile as it gives one an excellent taste of Africa. and the Gambia's post-colonial history.
