Interesting - The Stonetown tour was interesting we learn a lot of history during the tour, and later we visited the Prison Island, we saw giant tortoises, and prison ruins. Our guide Chris was so helpful during the whole tour.

Highly recommend - Our tour Guide Ali was so nice, and provide us all necessary information needed. We saw Dik-dik at Prison Island and took photos with Tortoise. It was a great experience.

Good tour - Good trip, however the only thing worth seeing on prison island is the turtles there is nothing else there. Stone town was nice to look around, the guides and driver were all lovely.

Great tour and lot of know how - First the guide forgot that he wrote me we should do the tour at 7.30 instead of 9, so we had to call and wait for 45 minutes, but Ahmed did a very great job and the tour to prison island with him was very nice!!!
The tour with zayed in Stone town was also very nice, but he didn't bring us back to the hotel, instead he let us stand at the old fort, that's why it's only 4 stars instead of 5

Great trip with lovely guide Ali - Unfortunately my boyfriend was ill on the day of the tour so I went alone with our guide Ali. He was a really good tour guide and I had a lovely time. I was a bit nervous being a young woman alone in a foreign city but Ali made me feel safe. He was also very kind to take a lot of pictures of me throughout the day.
The trip to Prison Island good and it was fun feeding the big tortoises even though it was a bit touristy. I really liked the walking tour around Stone Town. Ali taught me a lot of things about the city and I got to see so many things that I wouldn't have seen on my own.

Could have been better….. - City tour guide and guide to prison island were good. But, whole tour was unorganized. Waited an hour at conclusion of city tour for prison tour to begin. By now it’s the afternoon, very hot, but couldn’t eat lunch because didn’t know when prison tour was starting.

Zanzibar tour operator needs to do better job. - First ,Viator lists a private air-conditioned car was to take us around.No car ever was provided and No water either as in the description of the tour.
The tour guide was very good but the Tour operator Ahmedi XTRA ADVENTURES stink, they lied to us by first saying we would get a car ,then saying we need to pay $40 more .It was not enjoyable.
