    This was a great tour and the perfect way to hit the top attractions in Zanzibar! Our guide and a driver were able to pick up and drop off from Kendwa. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and excellent at communicating what we’d be doing and what to expect each step of the way. The three sites we visited were all very different and interesting. We never felt rushed at any of the sites. We’d highly recommend taking this tour if you’re visiting Zanzibar!

    Absolutely brilliant tour at Prison Island, Nakupenda Beach and Stone Town. Our guide Ibrahim was fantastic, really accommodating, and knowledgeable about Stone Town, Prison Island and Zanzibar in general. We were able to spend as long as we wanted in each place and ask any questions, as well as focus the tour more on what we wanted to do. Nakupenda Beach was a real highlight - an amazing lunch cooked by our 2 boat drivers who were fantastic throughout the day. One of the best excursions I’ve been on - worth every penny!

    We had for our guide Ibrahim, driver simba and 2 boat captians Khamid idi & kama kawaida and they were PHENOMENAL! We had the absolute BEST time and learned so much. They were so knowledgeable, accommodating and considerate. I really enjoyed our Zanzibar tour and when we come back we want the same team over and over again.
