our 1st trip to Gambia

Reviewed May 24, 2022

On visitng Gambia for the 1st time we took the reccomendation from some people staying at the same hotel re a gude they had used many times.

We were not disappointed with the service that Alex provided. Punctual & very attentaive, Alex ensured we got the best out  of the trips he suggested/arranged for us. Unfortunately our trip was cut short as we had to return to the UK due to the commencing of lockdown. otherwsie we woudl have had more trips with him,  Alex was friendly and approachable as well as having the contacts of Taxi companies that took us to our locations in a safe & timely manor. Adrian & would stongly recomend using Alex whether you are newbies or returning tourists to Gambia.

Excelente opción para aprovechar la visita a un país muy interesante

Reviewed May 23, 2022

Gambia es un país pequeño pero muy cómodo y agradable para visitar; y con un nivel de seguridad tal que te permite andar en solitario con tu pinta de turista con tu Rolex por calles poco o muy transitadas, mercados, mercados del pescado, ferry... en el que el único problema con la gente es que no se dejan fotografiar, porque son, a la vez que musulmanes fervientes, muy supersticiosos: paradojas del islam...

Tiene lugares declarados Patrimonio Mundial por la UNESCO que ya de por sí justifican la visita al país. Puedes estar muchos días de relax, o concentrar lo más importante en unos cuantos días.

Por recomendación del staff de mi hotel, acordé con Alex una corta pero intensa visita a dos puntos fundamentales: el Círculo de Piedras de Wasu y el Parque Nacional del Río Gambia, ambos declarados Patrimonio Mundial por la UNESCO. Además de visitar pueblos en el camino y sus mercados. También aldeas de construcción tradicional.

Alex tiene acordado el taxi con Ibrahim, que es un conductor muy prudente para el estilo del país; él se da cuenta la preocupación del extranjero y conduce sin darte sobresaltos.

Alex se acopla a tus objetivos; centra el viaje en aquellos puntos interesantes, te completa la explicación e historia de los mismos, pero improvisas parar en un lugar para hacer una visita, como una aldea tradicional que ves por el camino, y lo resuelve muy bien; tiene un excelente talante y es empático; como pèrsona es muy agradable y como guía un gran profesional.

Sin duda, para visitar el interior del País, lo recomiendo totalmente.

Como hay que ser crítico, para ponerle una falta: lo que ofrece como almuerzo resulta ser un simple bocadillo. Pero estás tan a gusto con él que te da igual...

Amazing guide to Gambia

Reviewed May 22, 2022

We met Alex  when we visited Gambia for my 60th. He proved to  be very knowledgeable and we liked his gentle style, as he took us to places where we could experience this wonderful country and it's people.

We  have recommended him to other friends and would unreservedly encourage visitors to give him a call for a very special insight into all things Gambia.

MY WONDERFUL EXPERIENCW IN THE GAMBIA - Thanks Mr. Alex Sanneh

Reviewed May 16, 2022

I count it a privilege and a great opportunity to write a review of my tour and experience in The Gambia.

Thank you for the opportunity.

A friend introduced me to Mr. Alex, I think I first met him at Airport or somewhere in Senegambia Hotel, am not sure. But for the two times of my visit of four weeks altogether, i was staying at Ocean Bay Hotel. 

With the help of Mr. Alex I was able to visit so many places like the crocodile pond in Katchikali, the art and craft shop in (I have forgotten the name of that market close to the national assembly), the National Museum at the Stadium; the highlight of my visit was the monkey park and when we visited his countryside, not to mention the wonderful time I spent at the beach behind Ocean Bay Hotel.

Alex is a very Professional and kindhearted guide. Our friendship is growing every day and look forward to spending more time in the Gambia with my family in the near future. Mr. Alex will definitely be my Tour guide by the grace of God.

Thank you again.

I met Alex Sanneh the day before my tour in order to arrange the details. His frienliness and his low profile were captivating and I was already sure it would be a perfect tour. So it was!!! We were 2 friends and did the so called Root trip: a visit to the villages of  Albreda and Juffureh and the Kunta Kinteh Island, all of which an UNESCO world heritage site. It was perfectly organized (a trip by your own is complicated and time consuming), with complimentary drinks and lunch included.Very knowledgeable about the history and the significance of the site, the tour was also including a visit to Kunta Kinteh relatives house, offering an insight to the village living.I liked this guy!Absolutely recommended.
