Great tour- got a good appreciation of Stonetown and history. Guide Mahmoud(Moody) was great - very knowledgeable

A 4-5 tour. Stonetown is a very exotic place with an interesting history. Slave market site was the highlight and worth the admission ticket. Having a guide to explain the town and history was a huge positive.

Amazing Stone Town Experience

Omar was an extremely knowledgeable guide on Prison Island and throughout Stone Town. He was also very accommodating during our tour allowing us to skip parts we weren’t interested in all that much. I would strongly recommend Omar as a tour guide

Engaging and interesting tour of Zanzibar

I would not hesitate to recommend a tour with Omar. He is enthusiastic, incredibly knowledgeable, and so kind. I went on a tour with him to see Stone Town, and also to go to Prison Island. He both taught me about Zanzibari culture, as well as the history of Zanzibar & Tanzania. I fet extremely comfortable with him as a female solo traveller. I plan to book him again if I return or if my family & friends return.

Highly recommend tour

Omar our guide was kind, friendly & extremely knowledgeable. As we only had a limited time in Stone Town, we wanted to ensure that we saw as much as possible. Without a doubt we achieved our goal with Omar. We were shown all the landmarks & hidden gems that only a local guide would know. I highly recommend Omar as your guide in Zanzibar.
