Relaxing stroll with Mohamed - We took this tour on a very last minute, just a night before. Was the only one that was not scheduled in the morning, so actually we did not have much of a choice. Luckily, all went just fine. Our guide Mohamed was punctual, decent young man with many interesting stories he was telling during the walk through Stone Town. He was not in a hurry, so we stayed longer than expected and it was really pleasure. We want to thank him and would definitely recommend Mohamed for anyone who wants to explore Stone Town.
