Guided tour of the city of Lomé
Best for: Travelers who want a compact, private introduction to Lomé with room to tailor the route.
This private city tour is the most compact option in the set and is built for travelers who want a guided introduction without committing most of the day. The format is flexible, with the guide describing a tailor-made itinerary rather than a fixed long excursion. The listed inclusions are straightforward: private transportation, bottled water, and snacks. The itinerary notes point to a city circuit that may feature market, monument, beach, artisan, and art-focused stops, but the product copy should be read as a general guide rather than a locked sequence. It suits visitors who want a shorter, more adaptable city experience.

- The guide can tailor the itinerary to your interests.
Longer city tour with the clearest transport setup.
Lomé authentic tour
Best for: Travelers who want a fuller Lomé sightseeing outing with transport included and a mix of city stops.
This tour is positioned as a fuller look at Lomé and is longer than the short private city option. It includes pickup, an air-conditioned vehicle, and all fees and taxes, which makes the logistics clearer up front. The itinerary notes suggest a city route that may combine a monument, cathedral, market, beach stop, and an art gallery museum, so it reads as a varied urban sightseeing day rather than a single-theme outing. Lunch is listed as an exclusion, so travelers should not assume it is part of the package. This is a practical choice for visitors who want a broader city overview with transportation already arranged.

Most defined route, with the widest change in setting.
Historical Tour to Togoville
Best for: Travelers who want a history-oriented excursion that goes beyond Lomé and includes canoe travel.
This experience differs most from the other two because it is not a city tour of Lomé alone. The route starts with a drive to Agbodrafo, continues by canoe across Lake Togo to Togoville, and then returns via additional stops before heading back to Lomé. The included items are private transportation, entry fees, and GST, which gives it a more bundled feel than the other listings. The itinerary notes mention the slave house in Agbodrafo, Togoville, and a drive to Aneho, so travelers should expect a history-focused outing with a specific route shape. It is a better fit for people who want a longer excursion and do not mind changing transport modes.
Historical Tour to Togoville
- Private transportation is included.
- Entry fees are included.
- The route includes canoe travel on Lake Togo.
