Very Good Tour - Incredible encounter. Strongly suggest Mo and his group. I loved every activity that I had scheduled with Mo Tours. Excellent communication, outstanding organization, and individual attention. Without a doubt, Mo Tours would be my first choice if I were to return to Zanzibar.

Informative interesting great guide - We had wonderful private tour with Mohamed. He picked us up at the Hotel and took us to Prison Island and walking tour of Stone Town. He was knowledgeable about Zanzibar, its history and people. We had a terrrific tour of the Spice Farm led by Bill. We had lunch at the farm before the tour then Bill gave us a detailed and informative walk through the spice fields. Highly encourage this day tour.

Best Memories in Zanzibar - Very secure and professional service
We met Mo and his team in stone town after our arrival. We decided on booking a walking tour trough the city on our first day which i can highly recommend everyone for orientation (google maps will not help you navigating trough that narrow streets 😅).
We ended up booking a whole package of tours for our 20 days on the island with Mo. As i am not that much in conventional tours (you get them all around the island...) he came up with new ideas and modivied tours as i wished to to give every tour a special twist. In the end we did not regret it at all because we had individual, autentic tours and great service. Mo did care a lot and did his best tp make everyday perfect and unique. His driver Ally was licenced and had an official permit. All the tours were official tours you can also book on your own (like safari blue official tours) but with our special wishes considred.

Not a good experince - The spice farm experience and Prison Island were unique.
There wasn't much that stood out in Stone City and our tour guide was more interested in Stone City than the other two places that we visited, I would say that he was more interested in explaining things that I have to do with his religion than other things. Made me buy clothes to cover myself because according to him my dress was too short and we could only buy in shops that he wanted.
