This was our first time in the Gambia and we had a fantastic holiday. We went on the 4 tours in One day and had a most memorable day. The staff were brilliant and couldn't do enough for you. Only 10 persons on the trip and 6 staff! We went to the local market, the cattle market and we even went to visit a family in their own home. Make sure you take some sweets for the children, who are so happy and always smiling, even though they have very little. We had lunch at Paradise beach which was perfect. The staff even put our towels down on sunbeds for us which was a lovely touch. Our only problem was that we only visited for one week and ran out of time to book other tours. However, we intend visiting the Gambia again and will definitely be booking with Abdul and Arch Tours again.

We went on two trips, Roots and 4 tours in one day. The team worked really hard to make our day enjoyable, even to the point of carrying our two small children around all day. The whole ethos of the operator is impressive, promoting equal opportunities for the Gambian people. They really did focus on making us more aware of the local culture rather than only focussing on the 'nice bits'. Fantastic, and better value for money than other operators.

Me and my partner went on a arch tours to senegal in december 2010 had a great time going by jeep for about two and half hours crossing the border and getting your passport stamped. then transferring to a boat to speed up the river to a small island to be meet by some wonderfull kids. on the return trip we took the smugglers route. if you are going on this trip take some sweets for the kids on the island and the villages that you pass through. we had a nice meal at a beach restaurant which was included in the price of the tour.

We booked 2 trips with Arch tours and found both great value for money and recieved a great service! They are much cheaper than the rest and deliver exactly what they say! Abdul the owner is great and the two guides Ali and JayJay were great. I would highly recommend the 4in1 - you see so much! We took sweets for the kids along the way and they loved it!
