What you'll see and do
Le Monument de la Renaissance Africaine
The monument, which sits atop a hill surrounded by trash heaps and unfinished homes, depicts a man, woman, and child who are ostensibly meant to be African yet look glaringly like chiseled Soviet caricatures. The statue would not be quite so alarming if it were not for its sheer size, topping out at over 160 feet of bronze nationalism or a little more than half the height of the Statue of Liberty. This makes it the tallest statue in Africa. But the visit inside the monument is extra charged

Marche Kermel
The Kermel market is a very beautiful building from 1860 - a beautiful round wrought iron and brick hall of Arabic inspiration - which was ravaged by fire in 1994, and rebuilt identically in 1997, classified as a historical monument. The large clock at the entrance to the market used to ring the closing bell at noon on the dot. At the Kermel market, one can find all the food products and is frequented by Westerners looking for the best products of the city since its creation

Goree Island
The island of Gorée lies off the coast of Senegal, opposite Dakar. From the 15th to the 19th century, it was the largest slave-trading centre on the African coast. Ruled in succession by the Portuguese, Dutch, English and French, its architecture is characterized by the contrast between the grim slave-quarters and the elegant houses of the slave traders. Today it continues to serve as a reminder of human exploitation and as a sanctuary for reconciliation.

Informative tour Goree Island
Interesting trip to Goree island coupled with a brief city tour. Our guide Malang was very helpful and informative. He did a great job with the logistics and setting us up with a local guide on Goree island. He has some insightful thoughts on what it is like / what is happening Senegal today.

Overpriced for what is it. Although the guide was interesting, this could very easily be planned independently

Brilliant service + experience
My partner and I had a very enjoyable and exciting experience. Our hosts, Lamine and Momodou were awesome - top marks for their service. We would definitely highly recommend them to anyone wishing to tour Dakar, visit Goreé. It is good value for money.

Ruined dream trip.
I can't recommend this tour company. They booked this tour even though the date was a bank holiday and nothing would be opened- no museums, no monuments. The easiest thing would be to rebook for another day but the guides showed up and didn't tell me the situation of it being a bank holiday until we had left my hotel- too late to reschedule. The guide acknowledged he should had said something before we left but opted not to. This company also left me stranded for another tour without notice. They never explained what happened. I wasted time and money. This was a special dream trip that was ruined.

A tour not to miss!
Our guide Malang provided us with an excellent day. Regulations on our ship caused us a little delay, so we missed the first ferry to Goree Island. No worry, as Malang had us get our tickets stamped for the next ferry and showed us some Dakar sites instead of just waiting at the pier. Everywhere we went, people knew Malang. Highly recommend this tour!

Why this scores 59
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Full Day Goree Island And Dakar City Tour(Minimum 2 Participants): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dakar.
How much does Full Day Goree Island And Dakar City Tour(Minimum 2 Participants) cost?
+
Prices start at $142 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Dakar usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Full Day Goree Island And Dakar City Tour(Minimum 2 Participants) take?
+
Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Dakar is not rushed.
Is Full Day Goree Island And Dakar City Tour(Minimum 2 Participants) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.1/5 across 14 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Dakar, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Full Day Goree Island And Dakar City Tour(Minimum 2 Participants)?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Full Day Goree Island And Dakar City Tour(Minimum 2 Participants) suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Full Day Goree Island And Dakar City Tour(Minimum 2 Participants)?
+
Around 5 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Dakar can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Dakar and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Full Day Goree Island And Dakar City Tour(Minimum 2 Participants) start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Dakar within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Dakar?
+
On Outty we rank every Dakar experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Explore Dakar and Gorée Island full day, Taxi DSS to DAKAR,SALY,RIU HOTEL,SOMONE ( please check Options), Full-Day DAKAR city / GOREE Island Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Dakar?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Dakar?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
