Nigeria is one of the most misunderstood countries in the world — and one of the most extraordinary. We know because we’ve spent years there, building relationships, exploring communities, and falling deeper in love with a country that most people only know through headlines.

Authentic Traveling Tours was born from a simple idea. Chris had been traveling to Nigeria for years, captivated by its culture, its energy, its people, and its food. His wife Adenike, who is Nigerian, had spent years taking Nigerians abroad to experience the world. Together they asked a different question: what if we brought the world to Nigeria instead?

Nigeria is a country that has so much to see. We built Authentic Traveling Tours to show people what we have always known that this country is one of the most rewarding places on earth to visit, if you go with the right people.
