I plan to visit Guinea-Bissau in November and am interested in your Glimpse of West Africa - Guinea Bissau tour. I am an Australian traveling on an Australian passport. Is there any way to obtain a visa on arrival, since there is no G-B embassy anywhere nearby? Can you assist with this?

You can get visa on arrival if you are arriving to the airport. We can provide proof of accommodation and purpose of travel. We can not confirm if it is possible to get it on land borders.

I would like to know if it's possible to customize this tour? My wife and I plan to be in Bissau Jan. 22-30, 2023 We would like to know how much is pricing for the 2 of us?

Please advise itinerary and places you want to visit and we will send you an offer.
