Strategic tour of Stone Town - This was an excellent tour of Stone Town by Ramadan. He is very knowledgeable and strategic. It is quite hot and sunny in Zanzibar and he made a point of seeking shade for explanations as well as walking out of the sun as much as possible. He is highly recommended.

Great tour and wonderful guide! - Our tour guide, MOHAMMED OMAR MOHAMED, was amazing! He was incredibly knowledgeable and super friendly. We had trouble getting picked up by the hotel and he waited with us for over 20 mins so that we could make it back safely. Great tour if you only have a little time in stone town.

Must for first time visitor to Zanzibar - If it’s your first time in Zanzibar this tour is an absolute must . So much history and culture that you can learn just by walking through the stone wall corridors and local markets . My family and I had a real appreciation and understanding about Zanzibar and her people and our tour guide Ali-Do was just awesome .
