What an amazing tour. Our guide, Abu, was very easy going, informative, and made us feel at ease. We had a lovely time in stone town and on prison island, he also took us to a lovely restaurant for lunch. We would definitely recommend him to other people and use this service again in the future!

This was one of my best days in Zanzibar!
I was picked up from my hotel and taken to a spice farm near Stone Town, where I got to learn about all the different spices that are grown in Zanzibar.
Then we went into Stonetown to get a boat to prison island, where I saw the giant turtles and had a tour of the prison.
We then came back to Stone Town for a very informative walking tour and stopped for a traditional Swahili lunch, which was delicious.
I even got to see the East African slave tour exhibit upon request.
I was then dropped back to my hotel.
The tour guide and driver was friendly, informative, polite, patient, helpful, and down to earth.
I would recommend this tour to all as it is very inclusive and you get to see a large part of West Zanzibar in one day.
I even got to do some shopping too!

Abu and his driver provided a wonderful tour for us. Abu is knowledgeable and very proud of his country and was excited to share it with us. He was very accommodating and tailored the tour to our needs. We had a wonderful Swahili lunch even though Abu could not eat because of Ramadan. He arranged a driver for us to take us to dinner at night. We very much enjoyed our tour with Abu.

Abu was a friendly and informative guide. The tour will benefit from the reopening of the museum. The lunch of assorted carbohydrates was not for the gastronome I am sure there more interesting forms of Swahili food

Picked up on time and went straight to spice tour and see different spices, our guide was very knowledgeable and kind which made us comfortable with the trip.

After spice tour we went to stone town and walked around the old town it was also amazing further more we tested Swahili food ( lunch ) with our fastest guide who helped us to have nice table coz the place is well packed. After lunch we went to prison island by water taxi and got time to see giant tortoise as well

Overall, I highly recommend this trip to everyone and I can't thank enough our guide Abu for making this trip nice. Asante Sana

My wife and I enjoyed our day visit to Zanzibar. This tour of the Maganga Spice Farm, Stone Town and Prison Island provided an eclectic overview of the island, its history and people. Abu, our tour guide, was engaging, knowledgeable and personable. He provided excellent information and patiently answered our questions. We would recommend the tour.

I requested Abuu as my tour guide because he received such positive reviews. I was looking forward to spending the day with him and enjoying this tour. Unfortunately, it began storming while I was at the spice farm and it rained for a long time. This significantly impacted my time on this tour.

Once I arrived at the meeting place to meet Abuu, we grabbed umbrellas and I was able to see some of Stone Town. I enjoyed walking through the narrow streets with him and learning the history and watching people interact with me and each other.

I was not able to go to Prison Island to see the tortoises, which was a huge disappointment, but beyond our control. I didn't have lunch in Stone Town either, due, I'm assuming, to the rain. The spice tour was okay but was the part of the tour I was least excited about.

I highly recommend this tour. Abu was such an amazing guide! So knowledgeable and kind with a great sense of humor. Traveling alone, safety is a big concern for me but I felt so well taken care of every step of the way. Lunch at the local restaurant gave me the chance to try some new delicious foods I probably wouldn't have discovered on my own. Overall, it was a fun day and a great way to see some highlights of Zanzibar.
