Stone town city tour - Amir is a young and excellent guide. 💁🏽‍♂️ Passionate and friendly, he showed us around the city of Stone Town. 🙏 Thanks to him for the quality of the information and our discussions. Shout out to the visit to the “natural” market 🐟🎣 which is truly atypical. 🔝 If you have to choose someone to accompany you to the capital: it's Amir! 👍 Céline & Sylvain
