    We had the most wonderful time on this tour. Our guide Riz’one was very knowledgeable and did an excellent job of our walking tour of Stone Town. He explained all the sights and had a really amazing grasp of the history of the area.We toured the memorial to the slave market and it was powerful! The ride out to Prison Island was spectacular and the tortoise sanctuary was a treat.
    Highly recommend this tour!

    Somewhat disappointing, with being a waking tour through the old part Stone Town the guide was not well versed in
    guiding, speaking vispering voice we had to asked to repeat, not over all well informed, however it was interesting to see
    the old heritage of the Town. The trip by dhow boat to prison island and see the Giant Land Turtles was great fun,
    walking between them and feeding them quite an experience.

    After a very delayed start due to tour guide not turning up, and having had to contact happy tours by phone to arrange a meeting place, we were told we would be going to Prison Island first. We were walked to a beach about 10-15mins away. the tour guide left us, and we were put on boat with a very smiley boat owner who did not speak any English. A very choppy but enjoyable 30mins ride out to prison island. The boat owner followed us around and tried to show us parts of the island. On return we were met by our original guide who did a
    short walking tour of Stone Town. Not a very professional company, but this is Zanzibar!

    Guides with passion and even protective against those who want to strip you. Rich historic buildings for the whole African continent.

    Très sympa prise en charge à notre hôtel
    Guide qui parle français, fruits frais sur le bateau
    Prison island jolie et tortues Impressionnantes
    Stone town très grande ville
    Centre historique magnifique qui révèle des secrets que seul nous n’aurions pas remarqué tel que le free phone
    Visite à préférer le matin car l’après midi trop chaud

    El guía (Chicho) nos enseñó mucho y nos llevó a diferentes sitios; mercado, especias, isla de la prisión… Se sabía la historia de Zanzibar y se explicó muy bien. Aprendimos mucho!

    A great trip , it was as expected . Picked up on time . Loved the boat trip to Prison Island to see the tortoises . Stone town was interesting , locals were friendly .. only down side to the day when the driver taking us back to the hotel , ran over a dog . To be fair it did walk out in front of us , but he didn’t try to avoid it or see how it was .. but a dampener on the day

    Histoire de la ville racontée par le guide et les impressionnantes tortues géantes ainsi que l’histoire de l’île aux esclaves prisonniers

    Nos recogió un conductor que no hablaba español y además llegó como 40 minutos tarde.
    Una vez en Stone town conocimos al guía. Ahí hicimos una visita extramadamente corta y muy por encima de la ciudad.
    Nuestro guía, además, se pasó todo el tiempo recibiendo llamadas.
    Lo que si nos gusto fue la ruta de las especies donde Mohamed nos explicó todo con detalle.
    Cuando ya acabamos, nuestro conductor nos recogió y en medio de la nada se paró, se subió una chica policía y empezaron a discutir entre ellos… Finalmente regresemos al hotel.

    Toll organisierte Tour mit Spice Farm on top.
    Rundum, trotz des Regens ein klasse Erlebnis.
    Sind mit vielen tollen Eindrücken ins Hotel zurück gekehrt.
    Von der Prison Island waren wir doch enttäuscht, wegen des überall herumliegenden
    Plastemülls – hat leider wenig mit Artenschutz zu tun
