Nas knows his history! - This was my second time in Zanzibar but my first tour. It was excellent and helped me to understand the history of Stone Town. Nas knows his stuff and I was impressed by the depth of his descriptions. Very comfortable walking around and hitting all of the major highlights.

Excellent and friendly guided walk of Stone Town - Nas was an excellent, informative and friendly guide on our tour of Stone Town. He took the time to explain the history and culture, answering the many questions that we had. The tour was not rushed and he was happy to go at the pace we wanted, spending additional time at the Freddie Mercury Museum without any issue. We would absolutely recommend Nas - thank you.

Great Tour with Nas! - Our driver in Zanzibar recommended Nas for a tour of Stone Town and we couldn’t be more happier with our tour and Nas! Nas loves history and was extremely knowledgeable, spoke good English and had a polished presentation. He answered our questions like a pro and knew Stone Town like the back of his hand! Nas, Thanks for the history lesson and sharing the sights, smells and sounds of Stone Town! We really enjoyed it!

Best tour guide ever! - Just came back home from our trip to Zanzibar! We did a lot of different things but my husband and I both agree that the highlight of our trip was the guided tour of Stone Town. Our guide Nas was the absolute best! He was not only very knowledgeable, but had a very nice personality. We visited the town’s landmarks, walked through some of the best streets of the neighborhood and finished at the market where our senses were overwhelmed with newness! Not only did Nas gave us great historical insights, he was a wonderful storyteller. If you need a guide, he’s your man!!!

Nas made Stone Town come alive for us! - Nas made Stone Town come alive for us! He took us to all the beautiful and fascinating spots—places you’d probably miss if you were exploring on your own. With his friendly vibe and fun storytelling, Nas kept us engaged and entertained the whole time. You could really tell he loves what he does. Highly recommended if you want to see the real Stone Town!

Highly recommended Stone Town tour with Nas! - Nas' tour through Stone Town is very interesting and highly to recommend. Firstly, Nas as a tour quide very friendly and knowledgeable about the town, its history and the history of Zanzibar in generell. Furthermore, Stone town in its self is very lively, multicultural und interesting. From historic sights, to narrow corners and lively markets. As Nas said: "You didn't visit Zanzibar if you haven't been to Stone Town".

very competent, friendly guide - Nas was a terrific guide, warm and friendly, willing to slow down or speed up sections of his walking tour as we wanted. We were interested in the architecture and general history (past rulers, Oman vs Britain) but especially interested in how slavery functioned in Zanzibar, as it's so much less known from this part of Africa than from the western part. It's clear that Nas has investigated some of this history. He offered his thoughts.
