Khamis is a very professional and knowledgeable tour guy, he speaks fluent English and told us a lot of history in stone town, also go shopping with us, we had a very good trip with Khamis, very recommended
Khamis is a very friendly guide with a good knowledge of German, who first took us competently through a spice farm, with comprehensive, vivid explanations. The tour of Stonetown was also interesting with a lot of information, especially about the people and their lives in Zanzibar City. It was a lot of fun not only to visit the sights, but also to walk with him through the market, have a coffee at the meeting places and experience the coexistence of the different religions and cultures directly. Thanks, it was great!
The tour was amazing. He spoke German fluently and knew a lot of the cultural heritage and history of Stone Town. He took good care of us and showed us good shopping possibilities as well.
Khamis took me on an extensive tour of Stone town and explained the individual stations in detail. I understood everything well about the architecture and history of Zanzibar. I was already two days in Stone town, khamis showed and told me a lot of new and interesting things. I can highly recommend it! Always again!
Khamis is knowledgable, kind and friendly. We joined his Stone Town tour. Khamis explained a lot of Zanzibar’s history which was super insightful and explained everything in detail. He is the guide you want in Zanzibar. We were lucky to have joined his tour. Thank you Khamis!
We were very lucky to have Khamis as our guide today around Stone Town. He is fluent in English, very knowledgeable and took care of us well. Made sure we were picked up and guided back to our driver after lunch even when our tour has ended. Superb guide. Wish we had more days and follow him around more of Zanzibar.
We took a tour of Stonetown with Kamis. Kamis speaks fluent German and has extensive knowledge of the history of Zanzibar and Stonetown. He takes his customers' wishes into account and ensures that the tour is a pleasant experience for everyone. Kamis is very friendly and accommodating and I would book a tour with him again at any time.
We spontaneously asked Khamis about the tour two hours in advance and he made time especially for us. Khamis is super friendly and accommodating and speaks very good German. He knows the history of Zanzibar and Stone Town very well and was able to give us a few insider tips on restaurants and local food here. Thank you Khamis for the great tour, we would be happy to recommend you. Best wishes, Hannes and Lea
Khamis is a friendly and down to earth person and very knowledgeable about all of the Stone Town history. The tour with us two was stressless and he fitted everything in the time we had available. We can recommend taking a tour with Khamis!! Jerry & Fenny
Khamis Davido gave us a competent tour of Stone Town in German. During our week's holiday we got to know him as a very reliable, well-groomed and friendly guide and visited a spice farm and various beaches on the island with him. We can happily recommend Khamis.
