Exceptional Experience - I had an exceptional experience with Rakib as our tour guide in Zanzibar. His extensive knowledge and passion for sharing insights made the walking tour both engaging and educational. Rakib’s friendly demeanor made us feel comfortable, and he always went the extra mile to assist with our needs. Rakib’s attention to detail and dedication were truly impressive.

Friendly helpful guide and activity - Very informative activity and friendly guide! Rakib highlighted a lot of the interesting points and answered all of my questions. He was personable and helpful to take pictures for me since I was solo. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes and bring water. Need to bring money for certain entry fees

Great tour, great tour guide! - Rakib picked us up from our hotel and we walked together to the starting point of our tour. Then he ask us what we wanted to see and told us what to expect. If you want something to see or to skip, Rakib will do it for you. He told us much about the history of the city and tanzania itselfs and showed us great places, which you wouldn't see without a guide. Rakib is a great tour guide, so make sure to book a tour with him when you are in stone town. Especially the first or second day so you have a great overview.

5 stars for Alfa and Rakib!!! - We had an amazing time in Zanzibar thanks to our incredible guides, Alfa and Rakib. Alfa led us on the Blue Safari, an ocean excursion into the Indian Ocean, where we cruised to Kwale Island and enjoyed snorkeling. It was an unforgettable experience, and Alfa's expertise made it even better. Rakib took us on a walking tour of Stone Town, the historical capital city of Zanzibar. He was extremely knowledgeable and shared fascinating history throughout the tour. Both Alfa and Rakib were reliable, respectful, and provided exceptional service. We highly recommend them for anyone visiting Zanzibar!

Excellent tour - Rakib was an amazing tour guide. He customized our trip just for us. He stopped to tell us the history of Stone Town and the history behind the beautiful doors. We had time to do a little shopping and to eat at a delicious Swahili restaurant called Lukmaan. Rakib was an amazing tour guide. I would definitely recommend him!
