Excellent. Just excellent. The tour guide, Assan Saine, was easily one of the best guides I’ve ever had and made sure that each of us had the special experience we were hoping for. I would definitely return to The Gambia. Thanks to Responsible Travel for introducing this tour to me and indeed, all my tours!read more
