Stone Town tour in Italian - Hasan accompanied us through the covered market, streets and monuments of Stone Town explaining the historical facts of this city in Italian. At our request he took us to the Freddy Mercury museum (ticket charged to us). I recommend it to everyone!

A Spicy 🌶️ Stone tour - Our tour was to the Spice Farm and Stone Town. Both were hosted by our friendly and enthusiastic host Hassan. We had an in-depth walking tour of both. I would most definitely recommend this tour.

Perfect and flexible Experience - The Tour was perfect! Hassan has a lot of knowledge about Zanzibar. You can ask him any question and he knows an answee or can even show you the right place where you get the answer. Also he is a really cool guy who will drink a coffee with you and chat. You can pick your stops flexible in the time period. So if you are done earlier on prison island ypu can go somewhere else. A total recommendation!

Worth it! - The tour is really worth seeing and worth it! Hassan (the guide) can answer any question and speaks super english. You get more time in places that interest you more and are not flooded with activities all in one really top!

Great tour with Hasan, interesting, beautiful and educating - The tour was very well organized, from beginning to the end, Hasan is a wonderful guide, very knowledgeable, kind, funny and caring. Spice farm with fruit tasting was very interesting and educating. Prison Island with giant turtles and Museum with history of the island was intriguing. Finally Stone Town with Museum dedicated to Freddy Mercury was mesmerising. Highly recommend the tour and Hasan as a guide. 👍

Bring a life preserver and hope for the best - An altogether disappointing excursion. The spice farm we went to was a tourist trap and he refused to take me to see the museum about the independence movement. It was starting to rain and the sea was choppy so i simply refused to go to Prison Island in the little boat with an outboard motor that was the only transportation provided to get there. I wasn't prepared to drown in the sea off Zanzibar. Nor would I recommend this tour will to risk their life. For what?
