Interesting and well-presented tour - Our guide arranged for us to be picked up at our hotel. He was very knowledgeable both about the conventional uses of the various spices and about local uses. He could review the English words for a couple of the spices we saw, but it didn't detract from the overall experience.

The operator, Seifi received exce3llent Reviews. And he lived up to his well deserved reputation. Friendly, exceedingly knowledgeable ,,, Took Special care of me in my walker. And as an unexpected bonus, gave us a short tour of Stonetown on return.. A Steal at this price,,, (Of course, we tipped ).

Great experience - Great experience! We learned a lot and saw and tasted many different spices and fruits. People in the farm were very welcoming, we got some accessories made out of palm leaves and flowers and saw how they climb a palm tree and open a coconut. We bought some spices there as well.

Fun and educational - A nice place to see in Zanzibar, it has plenty of spice trees to look at. Our guide and his accomplice put in great effort so we understood, as we sometimes hit a language barrier. Interesting to learn, how the spices are produced and used. Overall a nice experience.

Eye opener tour. - My husband and I did the spice tour and it was great. Driver was on time to pick us up at the hotel. It was good to link the spices we use on regular base to the plants where they come from: vanilla, nutmeg, cinnamon, black pepper etc. Amina, the tour guide was great. Thank you

Good to know more about spicy - The spicy tour was great, but I would choose other operator next time if I were there again. The time of the tour was 9:00am as stated on Viator, but the tour guide contacted me said it started at 9:30am. It was not a big issue though.
