The journey from the Lagoon or river side, where the enslaved and chained persons disembark from canoes to continue the burdensome walk on the sandy slave route is tiring.  One of the characteristics of the enslaved person is that he can't complain. Who would he or she complain to? The lamentation of their misery was usually to an unseen force that they believe in.

Memorable tour of Badagry with Anago Osho Adventures.

The mood will always be positive despite what ever the situation may be on the divine path I thread on the tourist guide occupation of life, as these group of tourists who came on @anagooshoadventures tour hit the nail on the head as they confessed that they made the right choice by choosing us to provide their tour guide services. According to the group, they initially contacted a tour operator with a great website and paperworks, but a colleague of theirs recommended Anago Osho Adventures to organize and lead the tour. It was asserted by everyone in the group that it's one of the risky but best decision they ever made. The referral worked for them. The experience they seek was achieved 100%. The group was great and brought out the best in me and my team. The tour group were on this tour for both educational purposes and fun. They asked deep questions and I am glad we were able to meet their yearnings. Anago Osho Adventures staffs of Mr Femi Whenu and Akinlawon Anago-Osho did very

THE PROFESSIONAL TOUR GUIDE AND THE VISITOR By Anago Osho

THE PROFESSIONAL TOUR GUIDE AND THE VISITOR By Anago Osho The best of the professional tour guide is propelled when he or she meets a well travelled or versatile visitor or a person who asks many questions with the purpose of learning or rediscovering. It makes the interpretation of history or artefacts come alive easily. Tour guiding by a professional also needs motivation on the part of the visitor but if no encouragement is ascertained, the professional tourist guide remain capable and in charge with the purpose of providing a satisfying experience. No compromise on visitors satisfaction. @anagooshoadventures  #tourguideanagoosho  #tourguide  #besttourguide  #besttourguideever #wftga #wftgamembers
