Sansibar Altstadt historischer Spaziergang

I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience,the Atmosphere was amazing! This was one of the highlights of my vacation, and a huge part of that is thanks to our amazing tour guide. He was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, attentive, and genuinely passionate about what he does. He made the experience feel personal, enjoyable, and unforgettable. I paid extra to avoid crowded spaces. From start to finish, everything was handled so well, and his energy and kindness made the whole experience even more special. I loved every moment and found myself wishing the tour could have lasted longer. It was truly one of those experiences where, the moment it ends, you’re already thinking about coming back. If you’re planning to visit, I highly recommend booking this tour — and if you’re lucky enough to have this guide, you’re in for an incredible experience. He absolutely deserves the credit for making my vacation so memorable. I would happily do this tour again and again!

The reception staff of the hotel I was in Zanzibar introduced me to the guide Hassan as I have been looking for one to show me what is on offer because I was on a short stay. And I was there, to be honest, for the HISTORY of the place, not for its famous beaches I ended up visiting at the very end of my trip! I was AMAZINGLY SATISFIED!! Mr Hassan, first of foremost, is a young man who has, to my mind, a VERY GOOD PERSONALITY ! He is NATURAL, HONEST, HELPFUL, FRIENDLY and TRUSTWORTHY!! He is too a GOOD COMMUNICATOR with good conversations topics! Mr Hassan also shows an EXCELLENT OPEN-MINDEDNESS! Which is extremely appreciable from a young man bathed in his culture!! And, needless to say, he has shown indeed his OUTSTANDING SKILLS regarding the job of a guide tour in Stone Town but also in the whole island, I would venture saying, as he wisely guided me on my solo trip from Stone Town up north to MATEMWE and MUYUNI and from there down south to JAMBIANI and KAMIZKAZI!!! Last but not the least, Mr Hassan is charging a FAIR PRICE and he is not the one to systematically, like a bunch of tourist guides do, drive you surreptitiously to shops or gift shops he might be affiliated with!!! Mr Hassan focuses on the business of showing the touristic sites of the place!!! A REMARKABLE GUIDE TO UNDOUBTEDLY RECOMMEND!!!!

Hassan was punctual, professional and delivered exactly the tour we had agreed. Beforehand, he asked about our interests and then tailored the experience around what we genuinely wanted to see, rather than following a rigid standard route. He showed us the culture and eclectic architecture of Stone Town while also giving us plenty of insight into the everyday lives of local people. His historical knowledge was excellent, and we particularly appreciated the care he took to ensure the information he gave us was accurate. On the rare occasion he did not know the answer to a question, he was completely honest rather than trying to invent one, which made him even more trustworthy as a guide. Hassan also arranged for his cousin, Said, to collect us from our hotel near Kendwa Beach in the north of the island. This involved roughly a three-hour round trip. Said was friendly, drove very safely, and his car was clean, comfortable and well maintained. The price for the transport was also very reasonable. As we were interested in potentially buying a piece of local art, Hassan took the time to show us his own work and studio, the work of his original tutor, and the studio where new students are learning. He was extremely respectful throughout and there was absolutely no pressure to buy anything. When we explained that we appreciated his talent but were looking for a different style for our home, he was entirely understanding and remained just as friendly and helpful. We would strongly recommend Hassan to anyone looking for an informative, honest and genuinely personalised tour of Stone Town.

We really enjoyed Hassan’s company. He is smart, passionate and articulate. He has obviously spent time learning as much as possible about Stone Town. He is very much a local and is an artist with a gallery in Stone Town. We were allowed to move at our own speed and he quickly realised what interested us and what didn’t. I asked him so many questions on a whole range of subjects - not just the history of Stone Town. I was surprised at how thoughtful and honest his answers were. His confidence grew as the hours passed. We highly recommend him and wish him all the best in fulfilling his dreams for the future.

Hassan is smart, knowledgeable and articulate. He has obviously spent a lot of time researching the history of Stone Town. He is also an artist and photographer. We enjoyed his company very much and we learned a lot. He listened to our questions and the answers were well-informed and honest. The whole experience was very much tailored to our interests and speed. We would love to return to Zanzibar to do other tours with him.

Hassan met us at our hotel to start the tour, which was convenient. We walked around the sights of Stone Town. He has a nice file of historical pictures for context. He took us to some shops that the locals use, which was great. A great introduction to Stone Town.

We stumbled upon this tour 2 years ago and we ended up becoming friends from it - Hassan is an amazing guide, person and artist! He showed us all of Stonetown and was so nice to talk with. I will be meeting with him again whenever I come back to Zanzibar. Can't recommend enough!

Our tour of Stone Town was very interesting. We shared detailed historical background and were shown daily life. Our guide spoke good German and took a lot of time.

Hassan was very knowledgeable, friendly and welcoming. His knowledge of the local area and passion for the arts was really interesting. He went way over and above taking us to other places such as the Old Dispensary and ensuring our taxi driver met us on time. Would highly recommend Hassan and his tour.

Hassan has a lot of historical knowledge about Stone town and Zanzibar. With warm style and open mind, he answers all your questions. Feel free to let us know what you would like to see, Hassan adapts the tour easily!
