We had an absolutely amazing experience with Yassir in Zanzibar! He went above and beyond to make our trip special, especially during the dhow boat experience, which was truly magical and something we will never forget. 🥹❤️ He also did his absolute best to help us find dolphins, and we really appreciated all his effort and dedication. Beyond being an excellent guide, Yassir is such a wonderful person: super friendly, genuinely kind, patient, and always willing to help with anything we needed. He also took some incredible photos and videos of us, capturing beautiful memories that we will cherish forever. 📸 You can really tell that he cares about making sure his guests have the best possible experience. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide and are so grateful to have met him! If you’re visiting Zanzibar, I 100% recommend booking with Yassir. He will make your experience even more special! 🌊🤍
Yassir is an excellent tour guide, he arranged and facilitated great experiences whilst in Zanzibar and even helped my wife and I visit a Safari in Tanzania. We swam with the turtles, visited many beaches, visited Stone Town and did deep sea fishing. If you want a great experience and value for money, Yassir will help achieve that!
Yessir is a wonderful young man. We had a great day seamless from start to finish. Went to Jozani forest where he guided us and was very informative. Went to the mangroves then an extra special visit to a conservation areas where we met a bush baby chameleon and then a butterfly enclosure. The guide there is very passionate about changing the views of the local people that the are not to be feared. We then went to paje beach for a late lunch. We were taken to the restaurant and picked up at the allocated time. We leant a lot about the country and its history and about Yassirs family and daily life. The driver was great and we felt really safe with them.
Yassir was amazing. He was great with communication. Perfectly on time. Very informative when being guided around Jozani forest mangrove and butterfly centre. We held a bush baby which was a lovely experience. We then went to paje beach for lunch. Our guide left us to have lunch for a few hours until we were ready. Great day felt safe and would recommend 100%.
Our time in Zanzibar was absolutely incredible, and meeting Yasir and Masud made it even more memorable. Right from the start, they made us feel welcome, relaxed and in the safest of hands. They were dependable, professional and incredibly helpful, but it was their warmth, humour and genuine kindness that really stood out. The tour was educational but also fun, Yasir made sure to take time answering questions and taking time to ensure we all understood We arrived as strangers and left feeling like we had made two lifelong friends. The laughs, conversations and unforgettable moments we shared will stay with us for a very long time. Thank you, Yasir and Masud, for making our trip so special. We honestly couldn’t have asked for better people to share our Zanzibar adventure with. ❤️🇹🇿
This was such an informative tour. And I felt safe solo with Yassir. I would definitely recommend. Great experience!
We are from the UK and had the most amazing experience in Zanzibar, made even more special by our incredible tour guide and driver, Yasir and Masud. From the very beginning, they provided excellent service and made us feel completely safe, comfortable and looked after throughout our entire trip. They were professional, reliable and trustworthy, but most importantly, they were so kind, welcoming and genuine. What started as a tour quickly turned into a beautiful friendship, and by the end of our trip, we genuinely felt like we had become family. We are so grateful for all the memories, laughs and unforgettable experiences we shared with them. We couldn’t recommend Yasir and Masud enough — if you’re visiting Zanzibar, you will truly be in the best hands with them!
I had the best experience…everything was great
