5.00The entire experience felt like stepping into a place where history and nature blend perfectly. Our guide was absolutely fantastic—knowledgeable, engaging, and clearly passionate about the island. They brought the stories of the island to life, from its past as a place of detention to its present as a peaceful escape. Even better, the guide tailors the trip to you, so you can shorten or adjust the experience at any time, which made it feel very relaxe The views alone made the trip worthwhile. Crystal-clear waters surrounded the island, and every angle offered something postcard-worthy. It was one of those places where you find yourself constantly stopping just to take it all in. One of the most memorable parts was learning about Freddie Mercury and visiting areas connected to his early life nearby. It added a cultural and historical depth to the trip that I hadn’t expected. And of course, the giant tortoises were incredible. Seeing them up close was surreal—they’re gentle, slow-moving, and full of character. It’s clear they are well cared for, and interacting with them was both fun and educational. Overall, Prison Island exceeded expectations. Between the stunning scenery, fascinating history, and unique wildlife, it’s a must-visit. I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable and enriching expe
Paradise at the Motherland with the best guide in the Island.

5.00It was an amazing experience in Zanzibar. Not only did Yassir take us to Stone Town, I saw him everyday I was in Zanzibar. He was my island guide and driver. Couldn’t have asked for a better guide and human. I treated him like family and vice versa. He is extremely professional, trustworthy and nice. Whatever you want to do, he will make it happen. He even brought me a cake for my birthday! I would highly recommend him for all your Zanzibar needs.
A place that was worth every penny
