We visited Stone Town, Prison Island and Jambo Spice Farm with our guide Abu. He was very informative and a great guide to show us around. His knowledge of the history of Prison Island in particular was excellent and we had a really fun time.

I really enjoyed this combo of experiences. We saw all the must-see items and were given enough space to enjoy shops if we wanted to. The food was amazing and the guide was super informative about everything we saw. 100% recommend to others!

Good tour with Abu! We saw Prison Island and Stone Town. The tour states a Spice Farm visit is included, but our guide said they changed this and it’s no longer included. Other than that, everything else was great.

Abu was so kind and accommodating. He ensured that we saw everything we wanted and within our time constraints. He was very informative and also personable. We really enjoyed our tour. We had no idea a water taxi was a speed boat thrill ride. We loved it.

Abuu, our guide was friendly and knowledgeable, and he adjusted things as we went based on what we wanted to do. The visit to Prison Island was short and felt a bit rushed, but it was a highlight. Abuu knew a lot about the history of StoneTown, so we really enjoyed learning from him and lunch was delicious. We had a different guide at the spice farm, and while our visit was great and very informational, there were parts that felt like they were just seeking money. A huge bonus was that this tour included a ride to and from our hotel (which was a long way!).
