The lunch on the spice tour was incredible. We enjoyed walking the streets of Stone Town and shopping from the locals. The boat ride to prison island was absolutely beautiful and we love seeing over 100 year old tortoise. Our guide was the absolute best. Knowledgeable, patient and funny.

Le guide Ali était très bien et connaissait énormément de choses avec un français impeccable. Dans l’ensemble, notre expérience a été très bien. Nous avons été déçus du gérant car nous avons du payer notre propre taxi pour la journée complète alors qu’il était censé être inclus, uniquement parce que nous avons trouvé le chauffeur nous-mêmes.

Let’s just say that we received 10 times more than expected, let me tell you why 😊.
• We started our journey visiting the spice farm. We were very impressed by the vast knowledge everyone seemed to have. We learned how connected people are with nature and how to better use everything the nature has to offer (doing fabric and stuffing for pillows, making medicine, different use of spices, fruits and vegetables in food, etc.).
PS: The food is something else. I think that out of all the places I visited in my life, here I had the best food ever!
• Our second stop was Prison Island. I have to admit, originally I was not excited about this part and how wrong I was. While the construction there was never used as a prison, it’s hard to imagine how it can be used for anything depressing as it is a bit of paradise (history, architecture, landscapes, etc). The pheasants, little dear and giant old tortoises are also beautiful and please, if you visit them, do not try to sit on them ☹, respect the animals, the place and the people there.
• The last part was Stone Town and this is where we had our biggest surprise and have to give big credit to Hamad (Mady) our guide. While explaining the history of the city and places we visited is something you expect, the details and additional information provided from his own personal research is what impressed us the most.

Mady is a great guide, hassle free easy to understand and extremely knowledgeable. We started at a Spice Farm (which was one of my favorite parts) and he made exploring the different plants interesting. Then we had a lovely city tour and gained a better understanding Stonetown and its history. Finally we took a nice trip to see the tortoises. With this tour we had an opportunity to see all the main attractions which provided more free time to use as you’d like and it’s perfect if you don’t have many days in Stonetown. Mady is an excellent guide! And Thomas is a super driver!

Mady was an amazing tour guide! We had such a great time at all the activities. We got to taste the spices and fruits, had an amazing time exploring stone Town, learned so many facts about the slice trade and got to feed the tortoises in prison island! We chose not to do snorkeling to spend more time shopping. Mady was very patient with us as we went through everything and kept us laughing and smiling the entire time!

Mady was a fantastic guide.
Usually the tours try and rush you, but not Mady, he kept on saying Poly, Poly( which translates to slowly,slowly) so we were able to see things and he explained everything and we had the best time and tour
I would highly recommend this tour. The spice market was fantastic and stone town is wonderful and glad we had a guide, you could get lost.
Prison island was great we were coming back by boat and the sun was setting and it was a great end to a great day

Tour was pretty good – Enjoyed the tour guide. I would wish in general to add in the description your drive and tour guide are two separate folks, since you have to tip them both (optional but who isn’t going to tip) just so folks are better prepared. The Spice Tour was pretty fun and Stone Town as well. As a solo traveler I appreciated my guide asking if I wanted to take pictures!

Wow!!!! what an excellent tour. We learned about the plants, fruit, and spices with. our tour guide Black was very informative and the lunch meal was delicious. After spending a few hours at the spice farm we meet up with another excellent tour guide Mady who took us around stone town and prison island. He was also very helpful and informative teaching us about Tanzania history. This tour was excellent for the price and it’s a whole day tour so be prepared to walk, learn and be tired at the end. But it’s all worth it.

This was a great tour. We didn’t manage to do all of it because we had to travel out of Stone Town so we missed the Prison Island visit but the spice farm (4 hours) and the Stone Town tour were well worth the time and money. 4 hours might seem like a long time to spend at a spice farm but it was so informative and engaging that the time flew. It was really eye opening seeing all the spices I use to cook with in their non-packeted form. Lunch is at the spice farm (the fruit is incredible). The Stone Town walking tour covers a lot of territory and you don’t really stop and go inside anywhere for any extended period.
Two cautions on this tour: (1) There are a lot of people to tip. Bring tip money (small bills). We found ourselves a little short at the spice farm and I felt bad about having the scrounge money together to tip. We actually had to ask our guide to tip other people that had helped us on the tour who were no longer around. (2) We were picked up by someone who gave very little information. We weren’t even sure that we were on the right tour until we asked him where we were going.
