Great Zanzibar guide - highly recommended! - Ali is a great guide! We did two trips with him (Stone Town and Mnemba Island) and we had a great time with him! He is super funny and answered all of our questions about Zanzibar, even outside of the typical tourist facts, and he also showed us special places and beautiful roof terraces! The price-performance ratio was super fair and communication via WhatsApp was really easy! Highly recommended for all Zanzibar vacationers, we really had a good time together!
