5.00Great and interesting walking tour about history of Zanzibar and Spices. We enjoyed both side especially the informative spice farm with our guide Abu. He knows a lot about his country and very passionate to describe his home. Stone was better as well and we enjoyed a lot at lunch time we were offered by the company. Overall if you are looking for this activity in Zanzibar, it's the right place to go.

5.00Abu saved our day when the guide we booked didn’t show up. We called his company and Abu offered to take us to these places Stone Town and Spice farm. He is very helpful guide, friendly and more importantly he is story telling and calm. We also arranged to collect the fee from him ( Other Company ) without any additional hassles for me trying to get a refund. Then he truly went out of his way to give me a fantastic tour of Stone Town tailored to my interests. I couldn’t be more pleased. My family and i will thank you forever for your kindness to us and make us feel home with you

Abu was great and amazing person on his professional, he was very helpful and more importantly he explained everything we wanted to hear about Stone Town, Spice farm and Prison Tortoise. The food was too much 😃 in fact we ate delicious swahili food in stone town. The duo of Abu and our driver was the best. Do not Miss this Combo with Abu
Good Spice farm and Guide, TERRIBLE Company & DESCRIPTION

4.00Service of our guide was great! Knowledgeable about the spice farm was great, and invaluable in Stone Town. However. DO NOT BE FOOLED BY THE DESCRIPTION! We went to the spice farm, then into town, but there was NO WAY we would’ve had time to go out to Prison Island. But the price included the admission AND a water taxi! For my party of 5, that was $105 we paid for something the tour operator never did with us. I reached out to the tour operator AND Viator, for a refund of that portion, and crickets.

5.00Lovely experience during this time, we booked this trip all ways from home and couldn't trust this company from the beginning, honestly speaking they gave us wonderful experience on island. From the City to the island, our guide Abu gave us wonderful details and my husband was fully impressed by his great job. Thank you very much for taking care of us and I can highly recommend others

5.00My mother and I went on the stone town, prison island, and spice farm tour today. Abu was an absolute pleasure to be around! From start to finish, he was very knowledgeable and informative. He regularly checks in with you to get feedback and make sure you are enjoying yourself. The spice farm was great! Stone town was nice to walk all around it and get the information about the history and the people of Zanzibar. Prison island was an adventure as it was windy so the water was a bit rough to get there, but made the trip all the better. The food we had for lunch was delicious. Very very pleased with the tour, this company, and Abu as our guide.
