Best of Senegal

My husband and I just came from a trip to Ghana. Our driver and tour guide Shiabu and George were superb. They were very knowledgeable and provided us with an authentic cultural travel experience. They have great customer service skills and were attentive to our needs. We had an amazing time with them from the time they picked us from the airport to the drop off. ...more ...less

Five stars are not enough!!! Just returned for 8 day Ghana tour and it was outstanding! From beginning to end! Our tour guide Elvis and driver Martin were nothing short of phenomenal!! They both provided educational and general information every step of the way. Every day my husband and I were provided with a verbal itinerary including history and other facts that we found so helpful. Every single day was filled with excitement and attentiveness from both of them. Accra, Kumasi, Cape Coast - we saw and felt it all! All the tour sights were as described in our pre-trip itinerary and we were well pleased with how everything was handled - from airport pick up to airport drop off. All sleep and meal accomodations exceeded our expectations. Continent Tours are truly Premier travel experts. If you're looking for a tour company - this is the one! Be sure to ask for Martin and Elvis when making your arrangements - you will not be disappointed! I am a travel agen here in the states and I will be recommending this tour company to all my fellow travelers who were waiting to hear about our experience before they booked their trip. Thank you Martin and Elvis for taking very good care of us! Dione & Terrance Davis ...more ...less

I had the pleasure of working with Continent Tours on my recent trip to Senegal, and I can certainly state that it was the nicest travel experience I've ever had. The team was attentive, knowledgable, and dedicated to ensuring that every part of my vacation was excellent from the moment I contacted them. The tailored approach to travel planning used by the business was simply excellent. They took the time to learn about my tastes and interests and used that knowledge to create a custom itinerary that exceeded all of my expectations. They assisted me in obtaining the greatest flights, accommodations, and activities, as well as insider information on local customs and cuisine. ...more ...less

As time was of the essence and they had the cheapest flights, I booked my family's vacation flights with Continent Tours. I saw some reviews following my reservation. I was concerned because they were all bad. But everything went smoothly. The customer care representatives were really helpful when I booked the flights, and they double-checked all the details to make sure the names and dates were accurate. They also assisted in reserving our seats because I have young children. We had a terrific trip, therefore I made the decision to write a review after it. Without a doubt, I'd use them once more. ...more ...less

“A people without knowledge of their past history, origin, and culture is like a tree without roots” is attributed to Marcus Garvey: Wish everyone on the planet did this tour. The world would become a better place. History must never be repeated. Great job Continent Tours. ...more ...less

Just finished a two day tour in Ghana with Continent Tours. Our guide Elvis and driver Nelson were excellent.

From the moment we stepped off the plane, we felt safe and were spoiled by the kind attention and professional care of Ousmane who immediately took care of our visas, Lamine, our amazing driver and Moussa, our wonderful guide. Mali is the most incredible country full of beautiful people and sights. There is so much to see and learn and we saw so many sights we would not have seen without Moussa’s inside knowledge. Mamadou had patiently helped me tailor-make a tour that included Bamako, Segou, Mopti, Dogon Country and a Niger River pinasse cruise, but we got more than was promised: we gained an insight into a fascinating culture all made possible by the expert knowledge of Continent Tours..and we will be back.

Dear Mr. Mamadou Goita, Continent Tours We have just completed our tour in West Africa and come back to Turkey. We had extremely fruitful days in Senegal, The Gambia and Mali. Our group of 22 members belonging to the UNESCO World Heritage Travelers Club had seen 9 sites during this trip. First of all, the itinerary you prepared to cover these places was very well programmed. And you and your partners followed and carried out the itinerary very successfully. We all were very happy with the bus, with our guides (Mr. Balla in Senegal – The Gambia part and Mr. Sory in the Mali part), from the hotels you chose, restaurant and the food. No one in our group during those 22 days had any health problems, not even diarrhea. I recommend you and your company to every agency which wants to arrange a West Africa tour. You are a very reliable person and you do your job very meticulously. Thanks again for everything you have done for us. All the best, Atila Ege, Tour Leader and author of “World Heritage” book ...more ...less
