Why we recommend it
ucomeafrik Tours is a small tour company led by its founder and director, Confidence Aguiyi, who has been hosting, guiding and running tours since 2012. She also works as a guide, concierge and planner for other organisations, and her tours cover Lagos and other parts of Nigeria as well as neighbouring West African countries such as Benin, Togo and Ghana. The company specialises in private and tailor-made trips rather than fixed group departures.
In Lagos, the company offers private city tours, a nightlife tour and multi-day itineraries. A published four-day Lagos programme, for example, begins with an airport pick-up and hotel transfer, then spends a day on a drive across the mainland and islands with visits to the Lekki Conservation Centre, a craft market, the National Museum and the Nike Art Gallery. A second day travels to Abeokuta to climb Olumo Rock and visit the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library, and the trip ends with time to relax at Inagbe Resort before the airport transfer.
Beyond Lagos, ucomeafrik Tours runs festival tours, including to the Osun Osogbo festival and festivals in Calabar, along with historical, cultural exchange, nature, adventure and business tours. It also offers a four-country tour through Nigeria, Togo, Benin and Ghana for travellers who want to see more of the region.
The company suits first-time visitors who want a knowledgeable local host to handle logistics, people of African descent on heritage trips, business travellers with limited time and small groups who prefer a private guide. Private touring is the most comfortable way to see Lagos for many visitors, as a guide and driver remove the stress of traffic, navigation and security. Itineraries can be adjusted to your interests, budget and the time you have.
Ask about the nightlife tour if you want to experience Lagos after dark with a local host, which can be easier than navigating the city's clubs and lounges alone. Read recent reviews on the booking platform before you commit.
Book well in advance and discuss exactly what is included, such as transport, entry fees, meals and accommodation, as these vary by itinerary. Tours are bookable through the company's listings on international tour marketplaces, where you can message the guide before you commit. Share your hotel details and arrival times, and agree a clear plan for each day.
