Artur - Tour Guide in Lagos

Born and raised in Lagos, I have a great deal 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 myself, who 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.

Artur was very knowledgeable. He was a Lagos native and knew so much history of the city. After the tour, he sent us great suggestions and map of places to eat and things to explore. Although Lagos was the very place where the African slave trade was started, there was no mention of that time or fact or to any of the locations where it happened. As miserable and sad as it is, it would have been interesting to hear and understand why and how it originated in Lagos. Other than that omission, the historical content seemed accurate and interesting.

Response from Artur
Hello Iva, Thank you for your kind words. I will send you a follow up email that will clarify very well that Lagos was never the place where the African slave trade to Europe started. I am very sorry that people believe on these things so lightly without questioning. Well, I wish you a nice stay and safe travels with lots of Sunshine. All the best!! Artur

Excellent tour. Despite having been to Lagos several times before, we learned a lot from Artur about the town’s history, churches, houses, shops etc, along with Artur’s personal experience growing up in the town. Tour was over two hours long, and explored areas of town we had not visited before. He also sent follow up information with history and suggestions. Highly recommended.
