About this trip
The sound of summer in France is definitely sweeter with jazz. The ladies of Adventure in Black are excited to show you the music, art and culture created by legendary Black musicians and artists of the 20s. With the help of Girls Guide to Paris, our trip will contain a special focus on Josephine Baker, her legacy and life. We’ll visit the vibrant 18th arrondissement and its Château Rouge-Goutte D’Or neighborhood to get a taste of how the African diaspora has evolved through the years. And we’ll travel to the beautiful Dordogne Valley, to see exactly how Josephine Baker lived and raised her family.

I had an absolute great time on my Trip to Ghana. I met some of the mot amazing people in the group. I loved all of the activities that were planned for us. The Labadie Beach Hotel was also very nice. It's great that AIB can bring together black travelers from different parts of the States in different age groups and curate a lovely experience. I did things that I never thought I would do.
Things that could be improved: Prior to the trip, it would have been nice to have received some of the information earlier than when we received it. A lot of us had not ever had to apply for a visa and the process was a bit daunting. There could have been a video or something sent to us prior to all of us starting the process of filing it out. Also, the Amazon list was sent days before we departed for Ghana, there were a few things I would have liked to get that I didn't have enough time to get. Also months prior to the trip I contacted AIB with questions on if I could extend my stay at the Labadie Beach Hotel and there was no follow up on that.
The tour group in Ghana that was used was also great. They took very good care of us. One thing I would suggest is to not schedule two long days back to back and especially don't plan for a long travel day the day after New Years Eve. Also, there needs to be an opportunity to eat lunch. Having breakfast really early in the morning and not eating again until close to dinner time was a lot to overcome for us spoiled Americans, lol. It made battling the heat a lot harder.
I feel more attention to details would make the experience that much better.

Pros: Met some great people who I have continued to stay in touch with. Visited and took pictures of the most historical place (Egypt) in the world. Had a wonderful tour guide who educated us at each site. Not having to worry about breakfast and lunch most days was nice and cost effective.
Cons: The travel group was a bit large at approximately 16 people. I believe this caused us to stay a little longer than we needed to at some places and also led to us returning to our hotel well after the time listed in the schedule. It would have also been nice to have more options for things to do on free days, instead of us having to find things on our own. As there was not much to do in Egypt, this would have been more beneficial in Dubai.

I had a good time, but had some issues with the trip. One, the amount of people was a bit too much. It was like herding sheep to get everyone moving from place to place at times. Two, the shopping trips were excessive and unexpected. I felt like the walking dollar sign from Sesame Street at one point. Would have rather spent more time in the Egypt Museum or something cultural. Third, suggestions for Dubai would have been appreciated. After someone asked, we were eventually given recommendations. Would have been nice to know ahead of time. Lastly, at the price point, I expected a more upscale hotel in Dubai and more meals. Overall, I enjoyed myself and made new friends with two lovely ladies, but there is definitely room for improvement.

A great experience! From the welcoming people of Colombia and our fellow travelers, it was just a great time and good company to be around. The food was amazing and our activities were one of a lifetime!

This trip was so fun! For just a weekend we had so many activities planned and I was able to meet new people who were also well traveled. It was a great experience over all

AIB, did an amazing job from booking to end of trip.
Our travel consultant Lenae was spectacular! She was attentive and ensured she communicated effectively throughout the trip. She handled minor hiccups with such patience and professionalism. Giving the size of the group, I think overall she did a great job.
I'm looking forward to booking my next trip with AIB!!!!
