Passeio pela Cidade de Pedra

Our guide arrived at the hotel 15 mins late, wore a dirty company t-shirt with a hole under the arm, then promptly marched us to the starting point. He talked a bit about the history of Africa but was quite hard to understand. Two if the places we were supposed to visit ie House if Winders was under refurbishment and therefore closed. The Old Fort had been bought by a Dubai developer so was also closed. He gave us information about the different styles of doors and took us down the narrow streets where we found a man who was making pictures out of palm tree leaves which was very interesting. The tour only took a couple of hours and most of the info he gave us we could have read on the signs next to the buildings. I wouldn’t recommend this tour.

The tour guide was very flexible and helpful. The city tour itself went a bit quickly (I was a solo traveller, it might be different with a bigger group, and the tour did not include the Anglican Zanzibar Diocese), but then Boban helped organize a last minute snorkeling outing to Bawe Island, which was the highlight of my day!

Good tour guide, knowledge on Zanzibar history, a good visit

We also did the Spice Farm tour with lunch. Fantastic history tour with the most knowledgeable guide! The Stone Town tour was unforgettable with the guide -Salum Jumane! He knows his history and went out of his way to assist us in payment issues and even offered to pay with his own money! Totally honest and reliable, would highly recommended.

Would definitely recommend booking with paradise tours for your trip to zanzibar. The stone tour was incredible with our tour guide, he was very knowledgable about everything. We seen Freddy Mercurys house this tour was $10 each (which you pay yourself) but was worth it. Our guide curated a plan that suited us, after the stone town we then went on a sunset cruise which was amazing, the boat had a band playing traditional music with people dancing. The day was fantastic so I would highly recommend.

We had Saif as our guide. He was well prepared and showed us patiently around in Stonetown where we saw a lot, and bypassed the spice market and the market. Super nice trip where we were picked up at our hotel and driven back.

Learnt a lot, I enjoyed it. The tour guide was going a bit fast at the beginning but he was knowledgeable. For a 3hr tour it was worth it

It is good to have a guide for the tour because some place need local to guide. A little bit hot during midday but still nice to look around.

Good to have you to be guide on this tour. We have seen many places interesting. We recommend this tour with you. Thank you.

Great tour! We got to see all the important sites in Stone Town such as the old market and the Slave Trade Exhibition Site. Our guide even went the extra mile and took us up to a 360 viewpoint of Stone Town. All our questions were patiently answered. If you want to try local sugar cane juice, he knows the best places!
