Great Tour - We did a tour with Mr. Spice (preferred name) and the tour was really good. Mr. Spice was knowledgeable and made sure we saw all the important points in Stone Town. Time well spent and would recommend everyone to do this tour

Highly recommended - Our tour with Mohammed exceeded our expectations. Not only does he have a lot of knowledge about the history and complex relationships of the city, but he also patiently answered our many questions. We were able to see the most important places in Stonetown and gain insights into the everyday lives of the people. We can only warmly recommend this tour and are also very satisfied with the organization. Thank you very much!

Stone Town guided visit - Really great tour - Mohammed was a fantastic guide all along our 3hrs + visit of Stone Town. Our trip there wouldn’t have been the same without him! It was a pleasure to learn from the different architecture styles, the different places such as the markets we clearly wouldn’t have visit without him (quite far to walk there from the historic down town), and the the history behind those old walls and streets. Bottom line, I clearly recommend! Thanks again 🙏 Aline & Robin

The BEST tour guide in Zanzibar! Highly recommended. - Our tour guide Lee was amazing. He was very knowledgeable and gave us 3.5 days of tours and excursions tailored to what we wanted to do in Zanzibar. We always felt safe and nothing was too much trouble. Lee is very patient also as my 7 year old daughter can be quite slow at times. He had great knowledge on the history in Zanzibar, he was always on time for every excursion. If we were to come back to visit again we would only use Lee! Highly recommended, 5 stars!

The most amazing trip ever - My friends and I decided to go on a trip to Zanzibar and we contacted Lee on Instagram, from the first moment he was super attentive to solve all our doubts and prepare for an unforgettable trip. We had the opportunity to swim with dolphins, snorkel, go to a lot of sandbanks, go to the spice tour and he prepared a safari in Tanzania in the Mikumi National Park and we also visited a Masai Village. Thanks to him and his team, Biggy, Ahmed and Baraka we had an unforgettable and super fun trip, I highly recommend it.

The best!!!! - Lee was the best. We messaged him on instagram a day or two before we arrived in Zanzibar not knowing much about the island. He sent me over a list of activities to do in which i chose which ones i wanted to do and he made me an itinerary. He was mine and my girlfriend’s personal tour around Zanzibar he made sure everything was perfect and treated us as his freinds not just tourists. Ill never forget when I accidentally dropped my phone in the sea and Lee jumped straight in, he swam down to the ocean floor which was very deep and retrieved it for me. I dont think many tour guides would do this. We done mnemba island, blue safari, stone town and Prison island. Fahmi showed us around Stone town and prison island and he was great!!!! Told us everything about both destinations and was later our lift to the Rock restaurant which he waited a few hours outside until we finished and was still cheaper then a normal taxi. Big shoutout to Biggie also for taking us to and from the airports and to safari blue. Definitely recommend as this group will ensure you have the best time and if you are hungry or thirsty or need anything they will make sure its provided for you!!!

Zanzibar Holiday - Had the most amazing time with Fahmi and he left no stone unturned when sharing historic information with us or showing us the best views in Zanzibar. My partner and I truly gained a friend during our trip and would recommend him to anyone travelling to the beautiful island.

Super fun!!! - Once you put Zanzibar on your bucket list, you must put Mr Lee in your contacts, and leave him lead you throughout time of your life! I travelled with my two kids, 10 and 13, and we all had so great time with Mr Lee and his right hand Mr Biggie! They are legends of the island! They will make you feel safe, they will take a good care of you and all your needs, they are reliable and honest. They made our stay a happy memory. Lee is competent to give you answers to all your questions regarding history of the island, but he will also supply you with great deal of information about today life in Zanzibar. His choice of local guides (Jozani forest, Spice tour) or sailors that bring you to Prison Island, Nakupenda, Blue Lagoon, Blue Safari and Dolphin search is just perfect! I specally liked Dolphin tour, we saw hundreds of those incredible beings, and all thanks to Mr Lee's special gift of attracting them! Other turists didn't have that luck, sorry for them! Besides 4 days of very busy program Lee made for us, I wanted to experience horseback riding on the beach, and abracadabra, Lee made it happen! All in all - in that trip I didn't get a guide, I got a friend! His smile, his sence of humor, his warm care, his patiente...he got me at hello! I wouldn't change a thing! Lee and Biggie, the best of Zanzibar! 💙
