Visits of Tourist Interest
Many of the trips here are not offered by the larger tour operators - some are lumped in with other trips, BUT we think that going off with a host and mixing with the locals is the best way of seeing the local hidden Gambia
GTS excels in the local tours. Small groups visiting a local area and meeting the people in an unhurried way.
These trips can be done using the GTS car or by using local taxis and foot.
*Banjul and Ferry
*Bakau & Fajara
*Serekunda
*Kololi & Kotu
The Car is needed for
*Brutut & Tanji
*Abuko, Lamin & Brikama
The cost is no more than your hosts hourly charge, + transport.
Many of the places have no entry fee or a GTS discount and the choice all day is yours.
Each tourist
centre has its own group of Craft stalls, all are not the same there are
some there is some very individual work, so its worth a look at each market
if you are passing.
