A walking guide book!

Our guide, Ali, was friendly, professional, and very knowledgeable. During our walk of Stonetown, he took us to all the major sights explaining the history in an engaging way. When we told him of our interest in architecture, he made sure to include additional buildings he thought we would enjoy seeing, and pointed out many of the famous doors. He went to great lengths to ensure we were comfortable at all times during the walk. We wholeheartedly recommend a walk with Ali as a guide!

Fascinating tour of Stone Town Zanzibar

Ali, our guide was great. We were delayed arriving and informed him and he waited and it was no problem. A very pleasant and knowledgeable man, he told us a lot about Zanzibar and showed us many interesting places. We also saw the meat and fish markets as well as the spice and produce one, a bustling space with narrow walkways. It was extremely hot but he looked after us well. I would recommend this tour especially as it can be modified to one’s stamina!

Operator response

Thank you very much for trusting us. We will continue to ensure bests services, welcome back to Zanzibar.
