    De gids ging met een sneltreinvaart door de markten je had nauwelijks de tijd om foto's te maken vooral in de vissersplaats.

    Ein unglaublich toller Tag. Die Fahrt im "Monstertruck" durch die kleinen Dörfer, das authentische Bild des echten Gambias, das vermittelt wurde, der Schulbesuch, der Marktbesuch, das Fischerdorf, .... Es war einfach toll!

    Enjoyable and varied trip. The only downside was the amount of time for all the pick ups and drop offs. This results in a long day.

    Keep was an excellent tour guide. Michael the cameraman appeared to capture key moments. Only thing that would have made the tour even better was wishing tgat we could spend longer at Paradise Beach after lunch to enjoy the surroundings.
