I enjoyed the Stone Town tour and found it informative. I also liked the Spice Farm Tour, however as others have mentioned there is an obligation to tip. There was the spice farm guide, a person who made a banana leaf crown (unprompted), and the person who climbed the coconut tree. There were also tip boxes for the person who cut fruit for you to try. While I enjoyed the guide and the information provided, I felt that needing to tip so many people took away from the experience, especially because it was $90 to start with. While I enjoyed it I don't think it was worth the money paid. Perhaps a standalone Spice Farm Tour outside of Stone Town would have been more cost effective.
Thank you so much for shearing feedback with us, actually in the spice farm people who work there put the tip box but is not must to tip others Guests like to tip others not and thise is depend on the interest of the Guests
Thise was one of the best tour during our holiday the tour was excellent and much appreciated and higher standard

We booked the Spice tour, Stone Town Walking Tour, Dolphin watching, Reef Snorkelling and Sand Bank Tours. They all exceeded our Expectations, our guide through the Spice farm and Stone Town was extremely knowledgeable and gave us true insight into the culture and lifestyle. The snorkelling was very fun and we saw many different kinds of fish on the reef.
Thank you so much for shearing feedback with us phenomenon tours and safaris are very happy we hope we will see you again
Me and my wife went to the spice farm and after that to stone town. It was so interesting to learn about the spices and visit stone town, the following day we went to a sea turtle place. I've seen the sea turtles on TV before, but never in real life, I even fed the turtles sea weed, I highly recommend the activity to all people! It is and was amazing. Machano our guide made everything very easy for us. Thank you Machano and the rest of the team!
