100% Recommend - Seif was absolutely amazing! We had a transportation delay and would have missed our tour by an hour if Seif hadn't been super flexible with us. He moved our start time back and met us at our lodging so we could drop our bags before heading out to Stonetown. Seif was very knowledgeable about the city and history. He took us through the streets as well as the marketplaces. We appreciated his recommendations as an insider, and his patience while we shopped for spices. I honestly cannot recommend him more! He saved our day and ended our trip to Zanzibar on an extremely high note. Don't hesitate, just book :)

Excellent Tour!! Me, my aunt, my teenagers and my adult children loved it!! - Seif was an excellent and dependable guide. He communicated before we even from the United States to Zanzibar to confirm everything. He also followed up closer to the time to check to make sure that we had transportation from our hotel. The information that he shared with our family was great and he knows Stone Town locations like the back of his hand. He had the normal core sites, then he often asked questions to gauge interest in different additional sites and tailored it to our liking. After the tour, he even went above and beyond to make sure that we found a restaurant that we liked. (Not in the job or tour description). Grab your walking shoes and take a tour with Seif!

Stone Town walking tour - We had a booth tour with safe today and spent the day there with him. It was very nice because we learned a lot about the history and he adapted the tour individually to us. The previous WhatsApp contact was also very helpful. Safe has given us a nice day and we would recommend his Stone Tour anytime.
