SUPER AMAZING TOUR GUIDES!!!
Fazhil and Rashid were some of the most accommodating, friendliest and professional tour guides I have come across! This was my second time in Zanzibar but the experience we had with them surpassed my expectations! We did snorkeling with them and managed to see the dolphins, see the sandbank and so many types of fish, all at such an amazing price! We stopped to swim at all three locations and enjoyed a beautiful array of fruits at the end as we enjoyed the water and amazing views! Truly one of the best people in Zanzibar and they are so knowledgeable as well :)) If you need any recommendations for the best seafood, what to do in Zanzibar, they are your people!! We also visited Stonetown with them and it was such an enriching experience, we got to see the city and learn so much about the culture! They also informed me they have and can do packages for you to explore Zanzibar fully and I will be booking their services in the future!!!
