Fantastic tour of prison island &stonetown - Great private tour! First part was small boat ride 20 minutes to Pridon Island. Achmec was our well versed guide. Irony is never used as prison. I’ll let him tell rest of the story. See the giant tortoise preserve including nursery! Next Stone Town…. With Said “the teacher”. Phenomenal guide perfect English and his knowledge was that of a teacher. Took us to the sites including those inside off the main routes. The culture and history of the are was very interesting , well worth taking this tour.

Great trip with a visit to the giant tortoises - The trip was very interesting and varied. We were picked up from the hotel on time, then we took a boat trip to Prison Island. We had plenty of time to admire and photograph the giant tortoises that live there. This was followed by a tour of the historic Stonetown, including the lively, typically African market. All in all, highly recommended!

Half Day Prison Island and Stone Town - We had a good time on the Prison Island and Stone Town tours. The transport pick up from and back to Nungwi was punctual and comfortable. Our Prison Island guide Abuu was friendly and provided a good experience in learning about the Island and spending time with the giant tortoises. Our Stone Town guide Said was exceptionally knowledgeable and accommodating. He is a passionate and great tour guide and we learned a lot about the intricate history of the city from him!

Enjoyable visit - You see and learn a lot about the history of the slave trade. The tortoises on prison island are HUGE and a must see if you are in Zanzibar.

Prison Island and Stone Town Tour - Ahmed picked us up at the hotel on time and took us to the dock where we took a small boat out to Prison Island. He was very friendly and provided great information and was willing to answer our questions. The boat trip to Prison island is about 20 minutes and we spent around one hour on Prison Island seeing the ruins and the giant tortoises. We then took the boat back to Unguja where he handed us off to Ali for the StoneTown tour. Ali gave us an excellent tour of Stone Town. He is clearly knowledgeable and very enthusiastic about the history. We had a great time.

Great experience - We had a great experience and guide was great, he knew a lot and answered to all our questions! Interesting tour!

We got the best guide, everything was so professional - Our guide Abdulla was so fluent in English and gave us all historic information about the Stone Town and took us to all popular landmarks, also gave us a chance to buy some spices and gifts in stone town, we were never being rushed. The prison Island was nice too, we took so many photos with giant tortoises.

This is a 'must do' if you are visiting Zanzibar - Great experience. However the guide was in a hurry and tried to rush us for the Prison Island part. He was knowledgeable though about Stone Town and after a discussion on his deliverables as per the listing did a good job.

Must do in Zanzibar if you're into culture and to see the giant tortoise 🐢 - Said is very knowledgeable about Stone Town. Showed me all the places of interest. Ali took me to Prison Island and was great. We even saw some turtles mating 😅
