Informative & Fun - It was educational, informative at the same time entertaining. Ali?(sorry forgot your name🫰) was so knowledgable & fun. Very helpful too he helped us bargain a little with our souveneirs, arranged our tuktuk ride & brought us to our lunch destination Lukmaan. After 65 countries and a hundred tours he's at the top of our list.

Great Tour! - This is a must do tour while in Zanzibar. I learned so much about the island and the history of its people. Imran was a wonderful tour guide. It is also great for solo travelers who want to get to know the city.

Excellent experience! - Mohammed gave a comprehensive tour of Stone Town. His knowledge of the history, culture and tidbits of information was phenomenal. We were thankful for him for our first experience of navigating that streets. Without him, we would have gotten lost!!!

Meh - Great guide but the town really wasn't as interesting as I thought it would be. This obviously is not the tour guides fault. Lots of nice doors and narrow streets. Fish market auction was cool. Slave market tour was a whitewashed museum piece that seemed to highlight the role of British in liberation. All in all a decent place to visit to buy souvenirs. Very busy town

Tour was just ok - Some of the historic aspects of Stonetown were provided. Not a great deal of information, though. Mostly, it seemed that we were being taken to places to shop.
