5.00Fantastic boat ride and tour guide Mohamed was so knowledgeable and friendly, we really enjoyed our trip around Stone Town and Prison Island. The tortoises and peacocks were fascinating as were the stops around town. I just wish we had more time at each of the major sites. This was a true life-changing experience.
Good experiance

3.00Overall experience was good a few suggestion and a few comments. - it is almost a whole day experience, so have a heavy breakfast or plan lunch. - The spice store is worth it as long as the giant tortoises. - The tour of Stonetown could be skipped especially if you don’t have a super knowledgeable and energetic guide. This is the reason why we give three stars to the experience or guide was not great.
