  Fantastic day picked up by Ibrahim and Ali who made our day special, safe and informative, I'm not a great come and buy some products guy but the Spice Farm was very informative and the Prison Island Tour was made by the zaniest boat trip ever where we virtually bounced off four walls.. ....awesome!!! Saw lots of old Tortoises 🐢 😕 ha ha and then walked around a mainly inaccessible Stone Town where we had hoped to visit the old Fort...shut and Museum shut etc but we walked around and soakedup the atmosphere in a very very safe environment. Fantastic tour guides, brilliant information but let's just say a lot of areas advertised are inaccessible then you know what you are getting!! Great value though and a great day !!

• Enjoyable, though not as accessible as advertised

  This tour is not wheelchair accessible in any reasonable sense of the phrase, though the guide did his best and got us to all the listed stops. My wife was lifted, in her wheelchair, into and out of the boat by four men. I feared for both my wife and the chair! Prison Island was possibly not worth such an effort, but that’s only our opinion. The tortoises were interesting and plentiful. Stone Town was good, though the limitations of wheelchair accessibility were obvious in that internal visits were off the agenda. We had realised this beforehand, as it’s almost impossible to make a historic place like this accessible. Our favourite stop was the spice farm. We both enjoyed the fruit tasting and being shown the various spice plants and trees. The paths around the various plantings are just about accessible with the chair, though there are multiple roots to be negotiated. As other reviewers have said, there are various people other than the main guide who expect tips along the way, so have some small dollar bills to hand. Overall it was enjoyable, but I believe we were lucky to have a guide who made it work.

• NOT wheelchair accessible and disappointing.

  This tour was advertised as wheelchair accessible with flat surfaces, which is completely inaccurate. While we genuinely enjoyed the Spice Farm, describing it as accessible is a stretch. My husband uses an electric wheelchair and another passenger had significant mobility issues. We clearly advised the operator of these needs prior to the tour, yet the experience was anything but smooth. Our guide was friendly and helpful at the Spice Farm, however navigating the site was very difficult for both my husband and the other passenger. Thankfully there were occasional places to sit and rest. We were also told to tip two workers USD $5 each, which we did, but this was an unexpected additional cost on an already expensive tour. Before heading to Stone Town, we specifically checked with our guide, Ali, about Prison Island and Stone Town accessibility. He advised Prison Island was not accessible due to many steps, meaning two members of our group would not be able to participate. We asked if an alternative could be arranged — he repeatedly said he would check, but never did. By the time we arrived in Stone Town and walked to the Slave Museum, it had already been a long walk for our less mobile passenger. We then asked how far it was to walk back to the port through Stone Town and were told 30 minutes, despite being told it was 5 minutes just moments earlier. There was absolutely no way our friend could manage that distance. Unfortunately, the driver had already been dismissed by the guide. We had to insist he be called back so we could return to the ship. At that point, we were done with a tour that let us down. To say we are disappointed is an understatement. I contacted the operator to express our concerns and have received no response. We have requested a 50% refund directly from the operator and have now escalated the matter through Viator. In all my years of travelling, I have never felt the need to request a refund — until now. Tip for operators: Do not advertise tours as wheelchair accessible or suitable flat surfaces when they are not. People with disabilities rely on honesty when booking experiences. What makes this worse is that our accessibility needs were communicated in advance and still could not be met.

• Bad weather cancels Prison Island Tour without refund

  Everyone knew the weather was bad but they still confirmed the Prison Island Tour, but that was then cancelled and replaced with a cooking class! The cooking class sounded ok but it was just peeling of vegetables rather than cooking, so it was an expensive let down! No offer to refund the Prison Island Tour!

• Good, interesting trip, highly recommended

  We had a great guide- Amina- who was super knowledgeable and empathetic. We travelled with our son, who’s 2, she adapted the tour to our needs and we managed to have a comfortable full day out. Thanks!

  DO NOT GO ON This tour organised by DELIGHT EGYPT TOURS. They take your money initially and then later charge you extra fees without your say so. They also do not inform you of anything before the trip I had to email and contact then days before and they got back to me a couple of hours before the tour was to begin only for him to try and persuade me to pay so much more extra without consulting me beforehand. GO TO LOCAL GUYS FOR TOURS. STAR BOY TOURS IS BRILLIANT.

• A beautiful way to discover zanzibar

  We did this activity as soon as we arrived in zanzibar. The spice farm has us much more for the botanical and culinary side, we regretted a little the hyper tourist side. Stone town is to be seen, the prison island has little interest in our opinion.
