What Are People Saying?

Yesterday I went to Fathala Game reserve. Absolutely amazing experience and Travel Eco made this possible. The price was fantastic and so so much more affordable than the prices around Kololi and the Senegambia Strip.
Can't recommend Saidou enough for looking after us so well.

Lovely guy who has studied in the UK in Travel and Tourism and gained his degree certificate. He has travelled to Malaysia, Singapore.

This is very rare to see a Gambia work so hard!
Please support Travel Eco.

I had such a wonderful day and never had to pay any extra hidden fees like the rest

Georgina Alice Parson

We went on this trip with the traveleco.com recently. We were picked up from our hotel and driven to the ferry port. We then met another driver and both guides then took us to the village and kunteh kinte island. During the trip the guides were attentive and extremely helpful. We had previously been on trips with Thomas cook but this felt so much more personal. The guides spoke perfect English and are extremely knowledgeable about Gambia. Upon arrival at the village we were shown around by a Unesco guide who told us all about the island and the village. We also met 8th generation relatives of Kunteh Kinte himself. I would thoroughly recommend this trip with the traveleco.com - it is extremely professionally organised and informative. You are treated with such respect whilst having fun.

Angela Fessey

We had a very nice trip with Saidou to the Crodile Pool. He showed us also the museum and explained to us the traditions and everything we wanted to know about the country. I would definitely like to recommend Travel Eco to our fellow-tourists if you like to hear and see a lot in a nice atmosphere. Kind regards, Edwin (Netherlands)

Theo Lammers @ tri@travel-retail.nl

We have visited the Gambia many times but it was until 2018 march that we met Saidou from the Travel. He and his team arrange a trip for us to Senegal that was excellent and best experience we had.  They speak good English and have an indepth knowledge of what they do.very professional.

We zijn de hele dag met de gids Saidu op pad geweest. We hebben het eiland bezocht waar Kunta
Kinte gevangen heeft gezeten. Daarna zijn we naar het dorp geweest waar Kinte heeft gewoond.
Voordat we naar het eiland gingen hebben we lekker gegeten en bezochten we een market die zeker
de moeite waard was. Geweldig zelfs, dit moet je gewoon meemaken. Naast Kunta Kinte kan je
meerdere fantastische excursies boeken bij thetraveleco.com. ECHT EEN AANRADER.

we did a full day tour with the guide Saidu.
we have the island where Kunta Kinte was imprisoned.
We then went to his family, the village where he lived.
We also had a nice meal before going to the island.
we also visited the market it was in one word great and you just have to experience it.
it's not just Kunta Kinte, but there are multiple excursions to book at thetravelco.com.
REALLY RECOMMENDED.
Greetings Ton and Miranda.
