Guide in Stone Town excellent! - Our Guide was great! We visited all the sights and gave us good explanations of everything. It was also very friendly and cheap ... I recommend it, we were going to tour the city alone, but it has been much easier and more comfortable so

Without point guide...pole pole - The guide didn't show up at 10 a.m., thanks to the hotel that made a lot of calls to locate him and showed up at 11. It was good the tour and Chichó very nice but we did not like the punctuality after we arrived from the flight at 5am and got up for the tour.

Not at all trustworthy - I put the rating of 1 because it is not possible to put 0. We had booked the Stone Town tour from France via the Internet. It had been complicated despite many messages exchanged via WhatsApp to find the internet link to book. Finally, after long back and forth on the various pages, and a phone call via WhatsApp from someone from this agency, we managed to do it and we had agreed on the day and the schedule, with French guide. The tour was confirmed, booked and paid for. On the D-day, at the scheduled time, no one picks us up from our hotel. After 20min wait, my wife goes to her mailbox and sees a message ''excursion cancelled, the refund will be made within 3 days'', without any other explanation. It's totally unprofessional, and the least that could be done would have been to warn us at least 24 hours beforehand so we could get organized. In short an agency to forget. She does not deserve to be trusted to organize field trips.
