  • Reviewer: Maud Johansson located in Sweden

    We will thank you for the good service you gave us when we visited the "african night", and the market the day after. We have had a wonderful holiday in your beutiful country Senegal. We tell everyone we meet here in Sweden that they should go and visit Senegal. I am sure that we will return for holiday again. I hope that we can keep the contact, and maybe you could help us next time to find some nice place to stay at during a holiday.

    I would appreciate if you send me a mail from time to time and tell me how you are, and perhaps some news for visitors in your country. I also wait to see your website, when it will be ready.

    "We used Diallotours to view Dakar, Senegal, Africa. We found Abdoulaye, the tour
    gay, to be very knowledgeable and informative of the area. His knowledge of the customs
    were relayed freely. We would recommend his service without question."
