Connecting tourists from Lagos and Ibadan to Abeokuta through train, a safe, comfortable, and stress-free connection between the cities, Doorsteps Travels and Tours brings the reality of the beauty of the ‘Rock City’ to the fore as the participants of the one-day tour explores the capital of Ogun state in southwestern Nigeria.

The Famous Alake Palace
Arriving at Abeokuta, the first stop was the Alake’s Palace which houses a museum and offers guided tours. The visit was both engaging and educational, providing insights into the Egba Kingdom and Nigerian history. Situated inside the palace ground is Nigeria’s first Supreme Court, which is still operational today.
  
From the Alake palace, the tourists proceeded to Olumo Rock Tourist Complex starting the tour from the Nike Art Gallery which showcases impressive African artworks, textiles, and crafts.

Evergreen Olumo Rock
Off to the highlight of the day as tourists climbed the Olumo Rock experiencing the panoramic city views with a tour guide who explained the historical significance of the rock to the Egba people.

Adire Market
The next stop was the Adire Market which features numerous stalls with a wide variety of designs at competitive prices.

Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library and Zoo
The final tour destination for the one day tour was the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library and Zoo. Tourists explored the resort grounds, went horse riding, and toured the zoo.
  
Remarking during the tour, the Managing Director Doorsteps Travels and Tours, Oluwatobi Michael-Ikinbor, said, “the ideology of the tour is to showcase the diverse attractive sites in Abeokuta, but more important for our tourists to experience every moment, from the train boarding to the visited destinations in Abeokuta. The experience also provided opportunities for tourists to network amongst themselves.”
