Stone Town Historische Tour

Thanks to Ally, we had two wonderful trips and he was an excellent guide both in Stone Town and in Jozani National Park, as well as during our visit to Caalum Cave and Nakupenda Sand Bank. I recommend him to all visitors to Zanzibar as a great professional.

We went on two trips with Ally, and both were truly great. Everything was very well organized, and from the beginning to the end we felt comfortable and in good hands. Ally is a kind, friendly, and very experienced guide. He has very interesting explanations, tells great stories about the local nature, culture, and life in Zanzibar, and he is happy to answer all your questions. The whole trips had a very relaxed and pleasant atmosphere. We saw many interesting places and at the same time had enough time to enjoy everything without rushing. Ali is also very attentive and really tries to make sure everyone has a wonderful day. If you want to spend a beautiful day, discover Zanzibar more closely, and be sure that everything is well organized, I definitely recommend booking a trip with Ally Zanzibar! It is an experience we will remember for a long time.

Ally Bin was excllent guide. We did a stone town, prison island and Nakupenda bank with him. He has great knowedge of the history of the town and culture. Pick up from the hotel was prompt. He also organised a safari to Mikumbi which was excellent. We would 100 % recomend him.

We had a tour with Ali through StoneTown and also rented a vehicle from him for our stay in Zanzibar, super professional and informative, a real pleasure dealing with Ali and getting advice on what to all do in Zanzibar - highly recommend 👍👌

We spent one day with Ali and we had incredible time. Ali took us to spice farm, Stone town and Nakupenda sand bank. He has great knowledge of island and culture. Everything was smooth and well organized from pick up in our hotel to drop off. Highly recommended.

We had a great visite with Ally. He is very knowledgeable and takes the time to explain all the background and history of the town. We learned a lot, felt safe and relaxed.

If you want to explore Zanzibar with an empathetic and experienced guide, choose Ali. During our stay, he organized three full-day trips for us, covering the island’s must-see spots and much more. On top of that, you’ll receive in-depth information not only about the island’s history but also about its present-day situation. He was always punctual for our meeting points, his driver was always kind, and the taxi was clean — something not so common on the island. I also appreciated his flexibility in planning the trips. Ali delivered everything we hoped for from our excursions. It would be very hard to find a better guide.

We spent three fantastic days with Ali exploring different parts of Zanzibar (3in1, The South and the prison island + salaam cave). He was always friendly, professional, and full of knowledge. Everywhere we went, he made sure we saw the best spots and shared interesting historical and cultural insights, which made each experience even more special. What really stood out was how much he genuinely cared — even on the days we weren’t with him, he kindly helped us arrange transportation and gave us helpful tips. That kind of support goes above and beyond! Ali is not just a guide — he’s someone who wants you to feel welcome and enjoy Zanzibar like a local. We’re so grateful we found him and would absolutely recommend him to anyone visiting the island.

We went on the “Snorkeling with Dolphins” trip with Ally, and it was a beautiful experience. We saw several groups of dolphins swimming right next to our boat — some people even jumped into the water to swim with them. On the boat, Ally prepared a tray of fresh fruit for us, which was absolutely delicious (pineapple, mango, banana, watermelon). We snorkeled near coral reefs, where we saw beautiful and diverse fish and sea urchins. The sea was incredibly beautiful — a stunning turquoise color. Ally chatted with us the whole time and answered all our curious questions; no topic was off limits 😊. The captain even let my husband steer the boat for a bit! It was a very pleasant experience, and I highly recommend it. 👍👍👍👍👍😊😊😊😊

The 3-in-1 trip was incredibly informative. We had the chance to visit a local spice farm, where our guide Ally explained how each spice is harvested and what healing or beneficial effects it has, both in medicine and in cooking. We tasted fresh coconut milk straight from the coconut. Then Ally took us on a tour of Stone Town — we saw the former Slave Market, bought spices at the local market, visited Freddie Mercury’s birthplace, and had lunch at a great restaurant by the harbor. The trip ended with a boat ride to the Sand Bank — a stunning place. Ally speaks decent English and answered all our curious questions. It was truly great and I highly recommend it.😊😊😊😊
