10 out of 10 points! - We had a wonderful experience with Swahili Family Tours. On the tour we got to know an authentic Zanzibar family and their home. We cooked and ate traditional food together, saw how they live and talked to them. It was an enriching and interesting experience and I would highly recommend this tour to everyone. The tour guide in particular was extremely friendly and helpful and was able to answer many of our questions about life in Zanzibar. He also gave us some insider tips along the way👍🤗

Very quick response at any time and very good organization, again at any time - We were picked up at the airport by Mohamed and taken to the lodge. He organized a wonderful snorkeling tour for us at short notice. We had a lot of fun cooking together in his house. Everything went well, thank you very much Mohamed.

Very friendly host serves excellent fish dishes - I found Mohamed as a very friendly host in his small restaurant and enjoyed several times his excellent fish dishes, esp. barracuda in a very tasty lemon sauce. He also gave me good advice how to reach the East cost in the best way and to find a beautiful place there as well as he organized a well guided tour to Stone Town. Thank you Mohamed for your great hospitality!

Thank you for your service and kindness. - The sailing was very good, but the snorcheling was not so much, because the men haven't so much experience for those tours, e.g. delphine hunting. The service was very good. The sightseeing in Zanzibar und and on the spice farm was excellent!!
