First of all, I want to thank Hassan for his availability and for making our vacation more special. I contacted Hassan before the trip, we agreed on prices and activities, and everything went well. We ended up having several transfers and also 2 days of activities. Everything worked out, and I recommend him!

Really great experience walking around stone town. Hassan is very experienced and street wise and helped us so much in our holiday.
We have spent 5 days in Zanzibar, and 3 of them with Hassan, touring the island; Stone Town, Nakupenda, Safari Blue. Prison Island, etc. All very well organized. Hassan has helped us in everything and has cared with every detail to make our stay perfect. A wonderful island and an exceptional guide.
