Two great experiences - we will be back! - We took Haji on both the Stone Town and Prison Island tours, as well as the Turtle, Dolphin and Snorkel Tours – and each of these experiences was simply unique! Haji impressed us not only with his extensive knowledge of the history and culture of Zanzibar, but also made sure that we felt very safe and well looked after at all times. He knows his way around and has provided us with a lot of interesting information on every tour that has enriched our stay. Particularly noteworthy is how he responded to all our wishes and needs, always patient and friendly. Whether we had questions about the island or the activities, Haji was always by our side and made us feel in good hands. Thank you, Haji, for teaching us so much about Zanzibar and its history and for giving us unforgettable experiences. We will definitely come back and can only warmly recommend you!

Professional but impersonal tours - We did the tour of Stonetown with Haji one day, Jozani Forest another day and the spice tour afterwards. Both days we had previously agreed with him via WhatsApp without any problems. Haji speaks very good German. Transfers from/to the hotel were made with a permanent driver from the same place as Haji. The driver drove very safely and calmly. The car was in good condition. The Stonetown tour was good, but you could tell it was a fixed program, which Haji has done 1000 times. There were no surprises or questions about what we want to see or expect. The Jozani Forest was also good. Haji has a broad knowledge of the local nature. Unfortunately, the forest, like almost everything on Zanzibar, is very touristy. During the subsequent spice tour we were only dropped off, the tour was then made by an employee of the farm. Haji went home as the spice farm is in his hometown and remained missing. No goodbye or thank you. The spice tour was more tourist nub. because you get many products for sale and have to watch a singing coconut picker. Besides, hats and jewelry are woven from leaves, for which tips are then expected. Overall, we had the impression that Haji had been working as a guide for too long. Maybe it was us too, but there was no "private" conversation and he didn't seem interested in us either. But maybe that's too much to ask in this business. It would have been nice. In summary, the memory of professional but impersonal tours remains, which we are paid cash in euros.
