We had a wonderful time visiting the spice farm and having lunch with out lovely host Fatima. We learned so much about everything on the farm and the lunch was scrumptious. If you want to get outside of the bustle of stone town and get closer with nature, I would highly recommend!
Highly recommend

We did the spice tour together with cooking class. We met with our guides Saida and Fatima in Stone Town from where they took us by car to the house of local lady where we were cooking. We learned about farming casava and how to make traditional curry. It was really nice morning well spend. After cooking we went to the spice farm, where we had tour and our guides explained us a lot about different spices. Unfortunately the weather wasn´t really pleasant and it was raining, but I need to say that our guides were really willing to give us the best experience and share all they knew about spices, that even rain haven´t stop them. It was great experience and I really recommend it. Saida and Fatima were amazing guides with deep knowledge about spices and local life. Thank you one more time and hope to see you soon. Deffinetly recommended. It was worth it.
Awesome Spice Tour

We had the best time ever with our amazing guides learning and tasting a large variety of spices and fruits directly from nature. Our guides were so knowledgeable and gave us easy to understand information. We would DEFINITELY recommend this tour to anyone visiting Zanzibar. The guides were so lovely with the children and included them in every part of the tour as well! What a wonderful start to our holiday!
Great tour and great guides

We went on a spice tour and is great. We were a group of 6. Our guide, Saida, was really good and very knowledgeable. We saw all sorts of spices and fruits and the lunch was really tasty. I’ve been on Zanzibar spice tours before and this was by far the best one!
