Very knowledgeable guide! - Nas is a great tour guide. Very knowledgeable with a lot of interesting stories and historical details. He would be always open to any questions and you could see that he was interested in history and knew a lot about it. He would also speak a lot about the modern culture of Zanzibar. We really enjoyed our tour with him!

Best Prison Island and Stonetown tour - We had a great tour with Nas. Started with Prison Island, which was amazing. Nas was very knowledgeable and even our teenager kids who are not easy to engage found it very interesting. Amazing tour both at the Prison site and the tortoises. We made dreamlike pictures on the nice beach. Then headed back to Stonetown where Nas shared a very interesting stories about some nice spots and the rich history of Stone Town and Zanzibar. Really interesting and engaging. Thanks for a great experience and can really recommend Nas!

Want to explore the mystic of Stone Town? Then Nas is your guy!! - We feel lucky to have had Nas as our walking tour guide. He had incredible local historical knowledge of Stonetown , explaining things with enthusiasm and passion in perfect English… he explained the cultural history of Zanzibar, taking us inside the old fort. We toured the food and spice markets, went by Freddy Mercury’s old house and even visited a local Jewellers to look at the Tanzinite stones unique to Zanzibar…. I can’t recommend him highly enough… well done Nas!!! 👍🏻 and Thank you 😊!!! Chris and Irina
