I had a great time with the tour. They were very accommodating and attentive and while I was the only English speaker on a group of Italians they never left me out and had someone to translate everything for me. The car was comfortable, with ac. The lunch was definitely an experience but everything was delicious and set up really nicely. We had so much fun and learned a lot about the history and culture of Zanzibar and Tanzania. Highly recommend!
