5.00A fantastic time with Fi on this guided tour of Stone Town, which was very enriching: the history of slavery, including a visit to the museum and Fi's explanations, was incredibly informative. Fi is a guide who knows his subject extremely well and takes the time to answer all our questions. So don't hesitate! I highly recommend it!
An exceptional guide to a family experience

5.00Fii gave us an exceptional day: Spice farm, Stone Town and its harrowing history of slavery, then a splendid sunset on the terrace. Passionate, cultured and very clear in French, he shares his island with heart. An unforgettable family experience, which we recommend without hesitation.
Just awesome

5.00We had a great time with Fii. In the morning we visited a spice farm. The explanations were rich and Fii was able to adapt to our children of 10 and 4 years to make them live this moment in a fun way. Then the visit to stone Town was very rewarding, we were able to have all the information we attended. Guide who speaks very well French and knows his subject well. Recommended ++++
Very good 👍
