Tour operator never showed After 90 min late they called and apologized. Too late made other plans. No communication, very frustrating.
we had internet problems due to frequently power cut, once restored we had to contact a customer and had already made other plan.
Zanzibar is a rich history site in Tanzania, you will have a lot to discover and explore. We did Stone Town and Prison Island Tour with Xperience Tours and Travel. The company deserves to be a best tour operator in Zanzibar and Tanzania.
We were able to get a few pictures in here and there, however overall the experience was not the most memorable for us hence the 2 stars. The were no warning shots of what we were just about to see until suddenly we got there. It also felt quite rushed at times. When we arrived the tour guild had not identification on him so we had difficulty trusting it was who it was supposed to be. I think that set the tone for the rest of the day. Lastly we did not get lunch or soft drinks included never mind bottled water. We knew it was included in the package and expected the tour guide to sort this out but he disappeared and did not make any attempt to pay whilst he watched us pay and then we noticed him taking some money from the waitresss. And when we finished the tour he tried to come into our hired car to get a lift to where he lived. Not a great experience overall but thankfully we went as a couple and could keep each other company and take pictures of ourselves.
Stone Town and Prison Island Tour with Xperience Tours was really amazing! The guide was professional and charming, and the city tour was informative and engaging. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Zanzibar!
I did Stone Town Tour with them during my holiday in Zanzibar. I was able to discover a lot of things regarding to Zanzibar History, Culture, Lifestyle, and Food. Zanzibar in general is very beautiful place. Presence of nice beach and hotels from low budget to high end plus restaurants makes the Island best place to be for vacation.
