Really a top guide - The Guide (Hassan) was a super nice man who knew exactly what he was talking about. he told a nice story about the history of Zanzibar and could explain all the questions from us in detail. He spoke good English so it was all good to follow. we also got to drink and have lunch with him somewhere with a beautiful view.

He's the Real Deal!! - Hasan is an amazing and very knowledgable host. He made sure I was comfortable and answered all 1.858 questions I had. I recommend him for any tour you want to do. He is a native of Zanzibar so he knows the real deal!!

Varied, lots of information - My tour guide put a lot of effort into it and tirelessly answered my questions. I was also able to learn about him and a little more about his everyday life and his family, which was equally important to me during the tour. The longest and most beautiful I found it on the plantation, also my guide had the most fun with it. At the other stops I read the info boards myself, he had a few additions. That was very okay with me. He also took a detour and dropped me off at a top food address.

A tour to remember ! - I had a tour with Hassan , he was very knowledgeable of the history of the island and very accommodating . His expertise and manners made it a very great and a comfortable experience. He was able to answer all of my questions and ensured that I had an excellent tour . I would definitely recommend this tour specially if traveling solo .

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.

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?
