Private Tour Guide - Zanzibar - Barack, seek him out he’s in Stone Town - We chose a registered tour guide when we arrived at Stone Town - Barack, he was terrific, excellent English and very knowledgeable We saw far more than if we’d been alone and as it was so hot he made various tops for us and found somewhere to drink in the day, it’s Ramadan so difficult to find anywhere to eat and drink in the day As a result we’ve decided to do two further tours with him. The official tour Guides are registered with the Government, we didn’t realise this until we arrived in Stone Town so be careful as lots of beach boys will try to persuade you to go with them, they may be great but they’re not registered

Best experience of prison island and stone town - Amazing tour starting with prison island. Very friendly guide who is patient, willing to take as many pictures. Very thorough in his history of stone town and showed me the best market and different stores for all the stuff I needed. I would highly recommend him.

A memorable holiday thanks to guide Nouman - Thanks Nouman for making our holiday a memorable one. From airport pick-up to places to visit and drop-off, everything was without stress and on time. He was so helpful with options when we felt like changing one of the activities. And that was it! The best,visiting the spice town and eating the best spice rice in spice town!. I'll 💯 recommend Nouman to friends and family.

Best Zanzibar Tour Guide - Our tour guide, Nouman, was phenomenal! He was very kind, professional, informative, and respectful. We learned so much and really enjoyed ourselves. He remained patient with us throughout. Most importantly he made sure to make us feel comfortable and safe. I would definitely recommend Nouman as a tour guide. My husband and I thank you for an amazing Zanzibar experience.
