Badagry tour - We met Victoria our tour guide, and the driver. They were both super kind and helpful during the trip. We were given an insightful tour of Badagry and the trans-Atlantic slave trade history. I would highly recommend, though the tour is slightly pricey.

Daytrip to Badagary - Great daytrip from Lagos to see a (sad) slice of Nigeria's history. Both driver and guide were friendly and professional, navigating checkpoints, prepared good quality life jackets for boat ride etc. Overall great activity.

Amazing Day Tour - I recently had the opportunity to explore Badagry with Samap Travels & Tours LTD, and it was an unforgettable experience. My guide, Victoria, was exceptional—knowledgeable, warm, and genuinely passionate about sharing the rich and complex history of the area. The visit to Badagry was both enlightening and emotional. Victoria provided detailed insights into the history of the transatlantic slave trade and how it profoundly shaped the community. Walking through historical sites like the Slave Port and Point of No Return was a sobering experience that left a lasting impression. Victoria’s storytelling brought the history to life, and her sensitivity to the subject matter made it all the more impactful. I also appreciated the company’s commitment to creating meaningful experiences while supporting local communities. Their professionalism and flexibility stood out; they ensured everything ran smoothly and accommodated additional requests to enhance the tour. Samap Travels & Tours LTD offers more than just tours—they provide deeply educational and thought-provoking journeys. I’m grateful for the opportunity to have learned so much about Badagry’s history and its legacy, and I would definitely book with them again.

Rite of Passage - This trip was a rite of passage for us. Deeply humbling and personal. I employ all African-Americans to make this journey at least once in their lifetime. Our guides were extremely knowledgeable of the history and significance of the "Point of No Return".

Great historical tour! - The "Slave Trade Tour: Badagry Black Heritage Adventure" is an incredibly poignant and educational journey. This tour offers a profound insight into the harrowing history of the slave trade through the historic town of Badagry, one of the key points in the West African slave route. The guides are knowledgeable and passionate, providing detailed narratives that bring the chilling realities of the past to life.

Well organized, stress free - As I walked through Badagry, the echoes of a harrowing past weighed heavily upon my soul. The rusted chains and crumbling relics of the slave trade told stories of unfathomable suffering and loss. Each step on the cobblestone streets felt like a somber pilgrimage through time, a stark reminder of humanity's capacity for cruelty. The sorrow in the air was palpable, a silent testament to the countless lives torn apart by an era of darkness. Standing by the shores where countless captives embarked on their doomed journey, I was overwhelmed by a profound sense of grief and remembrance.

Wonderful insightful tour - The experience was very insightful. Coordinating pick up was easy due to great communication from the tour operators. I was picked up from my hotel in a comfortable vehicle with AC, and we traveled the 1 hrs west of Lagos to Badagary. In Badagary the tour guide did a wonderful job of showing me the actual rooms, tools, and methods used in the enslavement camp. The tour didn’t feel rushed at all, and the long walk through the sun and sand to the point of no return (now the point of return with the construction of the return point) reinforced the gravity of what took place back then and the systems still in place today. Definitely a tour that was worth the money and time. Bring a water bottle/gatorade, comfortable walking shoes, food/eat before the trip, and possibly an umbrella for the sun
