We had a very nice day and we were happy!

Hamis was a great guide! He speaks Spanish very well, and he is very patient and kind. There was a lot of rain and they closed the port, so we couldn't go to Prison Island; he gave us other options we could do, and we decided on a broader tour in Stone Town, and we were happy! It was a very nice day, and I highly recommend it. Learning about the plants at the spice farm was an amazing experience.

An exciting and informative day.

Day tour to three of the highlights in Zanzibar. Everything went perfectly. Our guide Hasan conveyed so much valuable information in very good German. The first destination was a spice farm. We were explained about fruits, spices, cultivation methods, and so much more. The second destination was Prison Island. After a short boat tour, we experienced the island's history up close, and the giant tortoises are simply enormous; some are over 150 years old. Tip: Lunch directly on the dock at the restaurant. Stonetown is hard to put into words, with such stark contrasts, and in every corner, you can feel the tumultuous history. Summary: everything was great! We were picked up on time, taken care of all day without stress, and the price/performance ratio was also okay, Top-notch!

Make sure that you wear shoes that can pair of gloves because it rained and it’s kind of muddy cause you will be in the farm big bug spray because you’re actually walking through trees and mines inside but it’s very educational and it’s very informative the Stonetown tour and the prison tour were fantastic, and God was amazing

An amazing day learning about Zanzibar.

I spent an amazing day with Hamis visiting a spice farm, stone town and prison island. Everyone knew him and we were treated like treasured guests. Ismail confirmed the tour and Hamis arrived right on time. I highly recommend this team!
