We learned about spices and had a nice lunch with a lot of fruit as dessert. Nice not a big group, just the two of us.
The first day with Motours we went to the spicefarm. Very good guide and an amazing lunch with Lots of food and after the lunch we tasted all the fruits. We have learned a lot about spices. After this visit we went to Stonetown. With Motours you can make your own tour what you want. It is always private and we booked it at home from the Netherlands. Good prices!!

"Worth a visit"
Very interesting excursion that is worth it. We learned very useful information about the plants we encountered and at the end we also got our gifts that were made in front of us. It is worth a visit. Once you finish you can buy spices and perfumes at the exit.

Interesting Spice tour.
The spice tour offered by MO is more interesting. He took us to the spice farm and we learned a lot from him about the spices, it's my first time to visit the spice farm where the smell of cloves exists.
I highly recommend this tour.

Mo is definitely highly recommended
Without a doubt, they were spectacular days touring the most representative parts of Zanzibar, the small capital Stone Town, Prison Island, a day at the beaches in Safari Blue, a visit to a Spice Farm. Thanks to Mo Tours and the super guides Mohamed Ali, excellent people and guides with a lot of knowledge of the island's history, it was a very fun three-day tour.
Zanzibar is a charming island in East Africa, if you plan to visit it, I highly recommend doing it with this agency.
