Excelent, professional guide!! - We had a great experience with Mohamed as our guide in our visit to Prision Island and Stone Town. He gave us a lot of useful information, full of historic references, and also explanations regarding architecture and the origins of the many interesting spots that we visited. He was permanently willing to adapt the tour to our preferences, and ready to answer our questions about the history of the city and also about the current lifestyle of local people in Zanzibar. Furthermore, Mohamed is a very nice person and we felt very comfortable with him. We fully recommend him as a guide in Zanzibar.

Stone Town Tour Guide - Momahed is a very kind person and a very professional travel agent. I particularly signed up for a Stone Town tour, and he is very knowledgeable regarding historical sites where we visited and also took me to hidden sites where tourists would not usually visit. He also made sure that he showed the places where I wanted to go, or whatever serves the tourists! Even after the Stone Town tour is finished, a couple weeks later, when I asked him on Whatsapp if he knew any reputable tour guides I could sign for regarding traveling outside of Zanzibar (in my case, Dar Es Salaam), he even helped me connect to other reputable tour guides who is knowledgeable in that particular region, and he has been very helpful! I highly recommend anyone to sign up for his tour guide who has zero experience and knowledge regarding where to visit in stone town, and this tour guide is beginner friendly! Mohamed goes beyond the expectation, and he makes sure that tourists are happy with what they are getting based on my tour experience with him! Best Wishes, Alex

Simply The Best! - Mohammed is one of the best tour guides I’ve come across. His knowledge is amazing. Before we started out, he first established what I wanted from the tour , then tailored the day around exactly what I wanted , His knowledge of the architecture , history, shopping , eating out i, etc is 2nd to none. He took me to all the places I wanted to see and then some more. He patiently answered all my questions , took me shopping and even carried my bags. After the tour , he even went the extra mile to help me sort out an issue I had with a purchase I made. I couldn’t return to Stone town because of the distance from my hotel. He went to the shop and kept me informed all the way. This was truly very kind and helpful of him. I cannot recommend him strongly enough - any solo travellers like myself, you cannot find a better guide than Mohammed! He has your back 😊 He gets a 6 star rating from me !

Amazing Experience Touring Zanzibar with Zanzibar Tour Guide Mudikei - My mother and I spent 4 nights in Zanzibar and used the amazing services of our Mudikei Zanzibar Tour Guide Mohammed. It was a mother-daughter trip and I speak for both of my mother and I when I say the whole experience was fantastic! My mother and I had an amazing time in Zanzibar thanks to Mohammed. He was very friendly and professional. He was attentive to each of our individual needs and was flexible in tailoring our schedules to our needs and circumstances. We did everything from snorkelling and swimming with turtles and dolphins to exploring forests, the history of Zanzibar and its incredible architecture, the hustle and bustle of Stone Town and the amazing sanctuary that is Prison Island. Mohammed was so knowledgable, we learnt so much each day. We have so many incredible memories captured in videos and photos that still amaze our family and friends. Mohammed and his team of collaborators made us feel so comfortable, if felt like having a long-time family friend (local) guiding us through activities and stay. The whole experience exceeded our wildest expectations and we got to do things we never even thought we could! If I could give more than five stars, I absolutely would. I highly recommend this service to everyone! Asante Sana Mohammed! Thank you Zanzibar for having us!

History, architecture and contemporary life all in one! - We had the pleasure of having mudikei as our private guide to cover all important sites and happenings in Zanzibars bustling history from the 1500s until today. He knows history and architecture and pointed out many exciting details on buildings. Time just flew away and all of a sudden we had seen it all. Very comprehensive!
