A Fun Day Exploring Zanzibar Together
Went on this tour with my friends and Becka set everything up so smoothly. We wandered Stone Town like curious kids, getting lost in its tiny alleys in the best way. The spice farm stop was the highlight—lots of laughs as we tried guessing scents. Such an easy, memorable day out together.

Great day out, highly recommended.
Myself and my adult daughter had a fantastic day out. We were picked up on time, great driver and very comfortable van. First visit was to Jozani Forest, met the guide who was very friendly and knowledgeable. Saw blue monkey, endangered Red Colobus monkeys. Next we went to Stone Town, had a guided walking tour of the old town and market. Great guide who explained the history of Stone Town.
We both had a great day out.

Excellent driver, punctual and serious.

He picked us up at the airport and we made Jozani, the Rock, Stone Town, Prison Island, a sunset dhow, Nwenba Island, Nungwi.
We recommend 100%
