Itinerary

180 min

In a nutshell this tour will teach you a lot about Zanzibar. It is especially designed for those who are interested in history and shopping, particularly at souvenirs. In Stone Town, we have many historical sites, such as the slave market site, the House of Wonder, the old fort, Freddy Mercury's house, Zanzibar doors, and visiting some churches.

Admission included180 min

This is considered the most beautiful island in Zanzibar, where we frequently go to experience its magic. We will learn why the island is called Prison Island, and its has many names, each of which has a history. You can see giant tortues there, the oldest of which is 200 years old. It's a great place to explore because the water is so clear that you can jump in, and it has a lovely beach where you can spend time.

Admission included120 min

You always go to the market to buy spices, but you have no idea how they are grown, how long they take, or how they are used as medicine. Here, we will teach you everything, and you will be surprised by the various uses of the spices. After that, there will be a butterfly at the spice farm that will entertain you by singing and climbing the coconut. Finally, you will see the spice market, and if you are interested, you can purchase because it is truly amazing.

Exploring Stone Town

Good communication from the start via WhatsApp. Fun and informative throughout, I would definitely recommend this tour. The driver and our guide arrived at our hotel early, and we had a great time. Our guide was excellent, with a good sense of humour, a good standard of English, and fluency in French. The spice farm was interesting (unfortunately, we didn't take our guide's advice and use mosquito repellent); lunch at the rooftop restaurant in Stone Town was delicious, and whilst on Prison Island, the guide gave some good advice about when and when not to tip. I'd have loved to invite our guide to join us for lunch, but it was Ramadan, so he was unable to break his fast.

Excellent coordination and good humor assured!

Great experience. In addition to mastering French perfectly, Yahya knows Zanzibar as his pocket and at a humor that will punctuate your days with him in the mood "Hakuna Matata". It is punctual and organized. The coordination with the driver is excellent. We visited with him: the spice farm, salaam cellar, jozani forest, stone town, prison island and nakupenda beach. I highly recommend!

Prison Island experience.

I had the most amazing time on this vacation, Yalida was my guide. He’s very knowledgeable, sweet and took great care of me. Since I was alone…. He was also my personal photographer who took some great shots of me. It was a fun day, it was also very informative. I learned a lot regarding the story of my ancestors. Thank you Yalida. The driver was also very nice and skillful.
