Don't miss this! - Experiencing the beauty of Stone Town and Prison Island were amazing and well worth it! Spice Farm is a must-do! Don't come to Zanzibar and skip this!

Spice farm, Prison Island & Stone Town - We are thoroughly pleased with the service that we received from Amina and Ali.
Amina is a such a personable guide with a deep understanding of Zanzibar culture and the places that we visited.
The spice farm was such an amazing experience. Prison Island was a wealth of knowledge and intimate historical excursion.
Stone town was a rich experience of the past and present.
Ali is a very good driver who made us feel safe the whole time.
We are working out how to give 7 stars on trip advisors.
We are pleased and satisfied.

Great Tour With Simba and Ali - Amazing Tour! Theyr reached out to me the day before to confirm pickup time and location. The driver Simba was right on time to pick me up at 8:30AM. We met with the tour guide Ali in our first stop. Make sure you take with you shoes that you can get in the water going to Prison Island and bring extra walking shoes after Prison Island. This is an 8hrs tour that involves a lot of walking. Would 💯 recommend Simba and Ali

A great tour whilst in Stonetown - Our guide Amina was very knowledgeable and very accommodating to what we wanted to do. I wasn't well enough to do the walking tour and it was incredibly hot. She still gave us all the history and took us to the Freddy Mercury museum.

Check the guide takes you to all places on the itinerary. - Take enough money for all the tipping required.
The spice farm tour was very interesting and guide was quite informative.
Good boat ride to prison island, very hot there, again our guide was courteous and informative. We were not offered the snorkelling.
On our walk through Stonetown we visited the fort and walked past many shops. We did not visit the Dispensary nor the Slave museum as were advertised on the itinerary and our full day tour finished at 2pm.
We visited the slave museum on our own a few days later and had to pay the $5 USD pp admission which should have been included in our tour!

A bit expensive but good experience - good and interesting day tour; be prepared to hand out a few tips along the route; guide was friendly and professional but mostly left us to read alone or proceed certain areas on our own; friendly and good driver; good vibes

Not organized tour - The guide was nice, but he didn’t come prepared and was not organized. He was late to pick us up in the hotel. We felt rushed during the tour especially the beginning of the tour. The places on the itinerary were not all visited. Also, the boat that took us to prison island didn’t wait for us in the island. So, we had to wait for another boat to come and pick us up us which took away some of our tour time. And, to make it worse, the captain of the boat didn’t check the fuel. The boat ran out of fuel in the middle of the ocean which was very dangerous with the big wave at that time.
However, the guide did his best to accommodate our requests, for example looking for local food that I want to try. I appreciate him for that.
The owner of this tour company outsourced this trip to a freelance guide. He didn’t guide this trip himself. Also, the bottled water that was supposed to be included on this trip was not provided.

Places were interesting... - Places were interesting and what we saw was good especially the spice farm.
Information provided by the guides was disappointing. One was on his phone most of the tour allowing the trainee to talk to us. She was very good but he then just repeated what she said because he wasn't listening. One didn't take us to the places we were meant to visit in Stonetown including the Old Dispensary. The cathedral we were meant to visit was closed. No water was provided so we had to buy our own which cost $7. No time for lunch so from 8.30 pick up to 4pm drop off we weren't given time for a food or drink stop. Most disappointing Viator tour we have done.
