Highlights
Set off on a 4-hour guided tour of Gorée Island, a symbol of the history of the African slave trade. Start your experience with a pick-up directly at the port of Dakar, where your guide will greet you before embarking on a short ferry ride to Gorée Island. Then, discover first the Slave House, a place full of history and emotion. Your guide will explain its central role in the slave trade, with its dark cells, the famous "door of no return" and its harrowing stories. Then continue with the Historic House, another colonial building testifying to the complex past of the island. Walking through the cobblestone streets, let yourself be seduced by the colorful architecture, art galleries, the remains of the Fort d’Estrées, and the sweetness of life that reigns on this unique island. The tour is punctuated by enriching explanations, while leaving you free moments of discovery.

About Dakar
Dakar, the capital of Senegal, sits on the Cap-Vert peninsula, the westernmost point of mainland Africa, a city of markets, music and ocean beaches.
Dakar occupies the tip of the Cap-Vert peninsula, jutting into the Atlantic at the westernmost point of mainland Africa. The city mixes colonial boulevards with busy markets such as Sandaga and fishing beaches where painted pirogues unload at Soumbédioune. The African Renaissance Monument, a huge bronze statue of a man, woman and child on a hilltop at Ouakam, overlooks the coast.
Top-ranked sights in Dakar: Gorée Island, Maison des Esclaves, Lake Retba (Lac Rose).
