We booked this tour for Thursday 2nd March and reconfirmed, incl. our pickup-time, 3 days before. We were supposed to be picked up at our hotel at 10.30 am. After 20 minutes, I called the tour operator and they said they thought the tour was booked for the next day. The voucher clearly stated 2nd March. We had to wait for more than 1 hour before the driver came to collect us. Due to this delay, it was very hot when we did the tour. The spice tour at Sisa farm was very interesting and worthwhile. Our guide Mo was great and told us a lot. I recommend this spice tour, but I advise you to doublecheck with Exodus Go Tours 1 day in advance.

I had a fantastic moment walking through the spice farm at Kidichi, Mr Hamdu who was our guide made a great presentation about the spices found at the farm, its history, uses and how the spices are farmed. My kids and i with my wife enjoyed the trip with Hamdu, he was very funny and friendly to our kids also energetic to, we took our lunch by which they call Swahili lunch which was cooked with Zanzibar farmed spices and it really taste great. I recommend Exodus Go Tours to any travelers who want to experience the best of Zanzibar adventure.
