Free Tour Lagos History, Stories, Tales, with a Local

Overview of the tour in Lagos

Free tour of Lagos's History, stories, and tales, with a local – History, culture, and essential tips, both local and region-wide.

Born and raised in Lagos, I have a lot of memories of stories told by several generations of local people, not to mention their habits, behaviors, and cultural issues. Being an old-school traveler and an experienced hotelier who has already served thousands of travelers from all over the world, I have the urge to show my town in an alternative manner, a bit apart from the same old tours for tourists.

So, you will see and hear what most people don`t. You get unbiased tips for food, activities, day trips, and even other places if you wish – not to mention avoiding the “traps.”

Hear some legends, myths, and stories of one of the oldest human settlements in Europe and how events such as battles or natural disasters dramatically changed this area's human and natural shape.

We guide in small groups only, and it will take around one hour and forty-five minutes (maybe a bit more, like two hours). It is better for the guests and better for the town. Thank you.

Please note: We are sorry, but my tour is hard for kids younger than 8.
