Definitely worth it

Wonderful experience! Mady, our tour guide, was super informed and fun. We were collected at our hotel in Stone Town, which is great, cause you can easily get lost. Lunch was superb, especially eating the variety of the spices you learn about. I would highly recommend doing this guided spice tour. It is value for your money.

No means NO

Certainly not impressed. Besides the tour company trying to change the reservation (admittedly) for their own benefit - the guide at Jambo Farm continually told me “give me money” and was uncomfortably hitting on me whilst asking me to bring him back to Canada. At least a dozen times I had to tell him to back off and stop. Not the experience I was hoping to have. Pick up/drop off was great with the driver being very knowledgeable and kind.

Thank you for your supportive feedback we will keep it in check

A fun, tasty adventure

We really enjoyed the Spice Tour, and learned a lot about the plants and trees where spices grow. It was not what we expected (an actual farm), but we loved it anyways. Our guides were very knowledgeable and friendly, and very accommodating to our older family members with limited mobility, especially in the rain. The traditional Zanzibari lunch was really delicious as was the fruit tasting (the best pineapple we have ever eaten!). It was a bit crowded and touristy, but you'll learn a lot and enjoy the Zanzibari hospitality and fun.

Great Experience!

10 of us U.S. journalists and professional friends traveled together. The informed and amiable tour guide taught us a lot about how spices are grown on the island. The lunch they cooked for us at the end was, we agreed, one of the best meals we had in Zanzibar - and all were good. Plus, all of us bought some of the great soap, spice, coffee, and other products before leaving. Highly recommend this!

Thanks Lamont

Informative, stress free and interesting - Great Meal! Best of all trips

I was driven to the farm. I had a most intensive tour of all the spice plants and was dressed up in garlands of palm leaves and hibiscus! The meal and the fresh fruit afterwards was a bit of a high point. We saw a man climb a coconut palm and then we ate fresh coconut and drank coconut water. Everything was good and the guide was happy to let me sit and rest as I needed.

Thank you Catherine

Excellent From Start To End!

I led a group of 10 U.S. journalists and friends, and this was one of our planned events. Everybody agreed that it was an excellent experience from start to finish. Amiable, knowledgeable tour guide with an equally excellent assistant. The lunch they prepared for us and served at the end was one of the best meals we had during our stay in Zanzibar, and we all bought some of their coffees, teas, soaps, and other personal care items when we were given the opportunity at the end. This was worth probably twice what it actually cost. We highly recommend it. When I return, this will definitely be on the itinerary again. We went in the latter of June, arguably the best month for weather in Zanzibar. Warm but not hot and humid.

Thanks rafiki for being a part of us. Stay safe and have a great day.
