Excellent but pricey tour

This tour was one of the highlights of my trip to Nigeria and the best one I attended. The person giving the tour was the son of a community leader in the town and did an excellent job showing me around, explaining about their community anRead more
Once in a lifetime experience
Mehmet_C, Dec 2023
One of the best experience I have ever had. You feel like in a documentary. Kids at the school were fantastic and full of smile. You feel super peaceful among them. I should have spend more time there.. Boat trip was another level of experience, kinda once in a lifetime. Only negative thing I can say, it was a bit short trip. It might be like an hour longer..
If you’re thinking about it just go

Truly one of the most memorable parts of my trip. I went solo and felt very safe with my guide. Seeing a different part of the land opened my eyes. If you’re thinking about going just do it. Look at life from a different perspective. The travel group I booked through was also very accommodating. I will be booking with the company again in the future
This is a great tour to...

This is a great tour to see how is this special village in Lagos, and what I’ve seen will be a great memory in the future. The tour is very safe, all things are arranged and you don’t need to worry anything. Highly recommend, thank you!
