I had an amazing experience on this tour! Juma was friendly, knowledgeable, professional, and made the whole trip enjoyable. I learned a lot about the local history, culture, and attractions, while also having a great time. Everything was well organized and Juma made sure we were comfortable throughout the tour. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for an unforgettable experience!

Stone tone tour

We booked our guided tour while staying at Riu Hotel Swahili. It was such an easy process to book. Juma (guide) and our driver arrived in time and greeted us with such a friendly welcome. We had a fantastic tour of stone town and the Freddy mercury museum. Juma was knowledgeable and is a talented story teller. Would highly recommend!

Stoke town, dolphins, snorkeling, and transfers

We just finished a 2 week trip, 6 days of safari and 5 days in Zanzibar. Juma met us at the airport and for the next 5 days he treated us like family. The first 1.5 days was touring Stone town, his patience with our group, who stopped every 12 feet to shop, was amazing. He is very knowledgeable of every aspect of Zanzibar, from its history to its culture and everything in between. Juma arranged a dolphin swim and snorkeling excursion as well. He provided transfer from Stone town to our resort and on the last day of our trip, from our resort to the airport. We had a wonderful time with Juma, and couldn’t recommend him any more highly.

We highly recommend bookingna tour in Stone Town with Juma

We had the pleasure of exploring Stone Town with Juma as our guide, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Juma was exceptional in every way — his time, dedication, patience, and above all, his deep knowledge made the tour truly special. He didn’t just show us the streets of Stone Town; he helped us understand its rich history, culture, and significance in a meaningful and engaging way. We highly recommend booking a tour with him. Stone Town is absolutely worth exploring, but even more so when you truly understand its story — and Juma makes that possible. Thank you again for such a wonderful experience.

Wonderfull tour in Stonetown and Prison Island

Juma is an excellent guide. He speaks English very well and has extensive knowledge of the history of Zanzibar. Initially, we only had an appointment for a city tour, but he also decided to join us on a trip to Prison Island in the morning. He was very knowledgeable about both and shared his stories in an engaging and interesting way. We have had many guides before, but he is without a doubt outstanding. Excellent value for money. And besides all the interesting information, we also shared a lot of laughs together. 100% recommended

Operator response

Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re happy you enjoyed your experience with us in Zanzibar. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we hope to see you again soon! Best regards, Juma.
