      TravelerWritten July 2022

      I was looking to join a group tour in English rather than a private tour

    • Continent ToursOperatorWritten July 2022

      Most of our tours in Mauritania are for private groups, family or friends. When you travel on private tour basis you are more free on the timing with possibility to make small changes that do not affect the cost if you wish. If your main issue is the budget please let us know the approximate you have so that we check what we can do.
