Description

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

Come with me!
Being an “old school” traveller and experienced hotelier myself, who has already served thousands of travellers from all over the world, I love to show my town in an alternative, independent manner, a bit apart from the same old tours for tourists. You will get unbiased tips for food, activities, day trips, and even other places if you wish—not to mention avoiding the “traps.”

After this tour, you will have a good idea of what has happened in this town from its origins to the present day. 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.

We guide in small groups only, and it will take around two hours and fifteen minutes. Better for the guests, better for us, and better for the town. Thank you for supporting real local people.

Please note: unfortunately, my tour is hard for kids younger than 8 years old or people in general with physical or mobility problems.

Tour with a real local

It was a great tour. Artur takes the time (and even more) and you can genuinely feel, that he enjoys sharing his knowledge and experiences with the group. If you want to experience the city and its past through a local‘s eyes, this is your tour.

Hidden Gems, Local Stories, and Great Company

A fantastic tour that showed a different side of Lagos beyond the usual tourist spots. The small group format made the experience feel much more personal and interactive, and the guide did an excellent job sharing local stories, history, and insights about the city. I especially appreciated discovering places and details that I would never have found on my own. The tour was engaging, well-paced, and full of interesting information. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a more authentic Lagos experience!
