Me and my cousins we went to Zanzibar to a 9 days trip to celebrate our 40th birthday. We were overwhelmed with Yassir's level of care ,attentiveness and hospitality. We made our trip super especial, particularly when on our 1st visit to sand bank he came with a beautiful and mouth watering delicious cake and a bottle of champagne. Ah,that blow us away! I super recommend you book with Yassir ,it was even cheaper by booking with him in relation to others we had seen previously. If you planning on visiting Zanzibar. You won't be disappointed, I promise you! We definitely had the BEST experience we could ever have wished for . Yassir is one of a kind human being,and I wish him all the success in the world. I'm humbled. Asante Sana, Yassir.
Yassir gave us a tour of Stonetown and explained a lot about the history and more of Zanzibar, Tanzania and Stonetown. It was very interesting. Yassir is a nice guide, he explains everything clearly and really takes his time. Thank you Yassir!

We had an amazing experience exploring Zanzibar with Yassir as our tour guide. He was professional, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable about the island’s history, culture, and hidden gems. From the moment we met when he picked us up from the airport, he made us feel welcome and ensured everything was well organised and stress-free. Yassir was always punctual, happy to answer our questions, and shared fascinating local insights that made each place even more special. His warm personality and genuine passion for Zanzibar made our trip unforgettable. If you’re planning a visit to Zanzibar and want an authentic, enjoyable, and well-organised experience, I highly recommend Yassir. Thank you for making our holiday so memorable.
