BEST TOUR GUIDE IN ZANZIBAR. 10 star rating should be an option

We were a family of 5 with a 1 year old baby. We used ALI for all our tours, he was beyond amazing, very accommodating and very reasonable with his tours and prices. He is very knowledgeable about the island and the tours. We did Safari blue, Jozani forest, spice farm,prison island, stone town,swimming with the turtles ,(kwenda beach he took us without charging). He even arranged for my daughter horse riding in the beautiful ocean. ALI is the best in ZANZIBAR I would use him again whenever I go to ZANZIBAR.

Stick to the stated itinerary but skip spice farm.

It was ok. The driver did the itinerary in reverse order, doing the spice farm 1st, then Prison Island, then Stone Town, which is not a good idea. First the spice farm was boring and the guide was terrible. We left early it was so bad. Skip the spice farm. Next was Prison Island which was beautiful and turtles amazing. Then lunch at a local restaurant which was enjoyable. Our guide for the island and Stone Town was good. The tour of Stone Town didn't start until 2pm. It was hot, dusty and a lot of walking in a bustling, loud, chaotic city. It was sensory overload at this time of day after leaving our hotel at 8:30. We would have enjoyed it more if it was in the morning.
