Firstly our guides were fantastic. Too much time spend in Monrovia doing nothing. Should have been cut down to maybe 4 days there. The Kpatawee Waterfalls were fantastic but why did we not stay there over night? 4 hours to get there and 4 hours back and we could have stayed in these fantastic cabins they had there. We met the manager and was so disappointed over night wasn't spent there. Very stupid young guide at the falls insisted to drag myself (68) up the side of the falls where it was extremely dangerous where I fell twice and still have issues with my knee. The visit at the Bai T. Moore was incredible. Why were we not driven to the border and met with our Sierra Leone guide on the other side? The plan flight was a disaster taking 10 hours. What a stupid idea to fly whe we were so close to the border and a waste of money.Show more

Dear Karen, Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback on your Cultural and Historical Tour of Liberia and Sierra Leone. We truly appreciate your honesty and are very sorry to hear that parts of your experience did not meet expectations. We are delighted that you enjoyed the guides and highlights like Kpatawee Waterfalls and Bai T. Moore, but we regret the itinerary and logistics caused frustration.

We will review these points with our operations team to improve future itineraries. We are especially concerned about the incident at the falls and your knee injury. Safety is our top priority, and we will address this with our guides immediately to ensure better judgment and guest care.
