The time when the Tour... - The time when the Tour guide walked with me all over Stone Town. I have seen so many historical structures which were not demolished as this act as symbol of where they are coming from. This is the asset of the next generation which need to be preserved by those who owns and benefit from them this time. Those who are travelling to other countries would like to know the history and the origion of the people they visited. To some they build museums where they gather all historical things there.

The best stonetown tour - Before coming to Zanzibar, i was very anxious and worried about my trip, because it was my first time traveled solo. I reached out to the booking agent Said, and he was very friendly and welcome. He answered all the concerns I had about arriving, luggages, and helped me book a ride to my hotel in Kendwa. He makes sure that there’s no worries existed just like the spirit of hakuna matata. The tourguide Abubakar patiently waited for me after a long time at the custom and welcomed me with the best energy. He is an English teacher and is very knowledgeable about the town. I have learned so much in a short day. His enthusiasm is unmatched. The driver Daz is very nice as well, which i ended hire him again for my other excursions. Thank you for everything!!

Book it - This was definitely a good excursion to book. It’s a long day but the tour guide makes all the difference. We had a great tour guide with a lot of knowledge. He always checked in with us periodically to see how we were doing, and also to see if there was anything he was lacking or anything that could make the experience better. As a US citizen, the bathroom situation anywhere we went was terrible though. Disgusting.
