Great and very individual Tour - Adam did a great Job. We saw a lot of Sansibar, the old and the new town with all the Sightseeing points. He explained it very well and answered all of our questions. After the Tour in Sansibar town he took us to a Spice Farm, where we learned a lot about all the plants here. The whole Tour was just for me and my Boyfriend, so that we could Plan the Tour individually.
All in all a very good Tour with a very good Guide and not to expensive. Thanks to Adam.

Great guide, very friendly and worked around our children to provide a memorable family experience - Great guide, very friendly and worked around our children to ensure it was as memorable for them as for us. Adam took us to prison Island and Stone Town. He showed us around Prison Island and gave an excellent hands on experience of the turtles. He also worked with us to ensure we were able to get what we needed as souvenirs. He showed us the markets and ensured we went to some hidden gems in the city.
Would highly recommend for anyone needing to be shown around

Great Tour in Stone Town - We booked a guided tour of Stone Town with Adrax Tour. We were warmly welcomed and first told something about the history of the city. Then the tour started. We started at the edge of Old Stone Town and then walked into the middle of it. Soon we were standing in front of the birthplace of Farrokh Bulsara...or Freddie Mercury. We walked through the narrow streets of old Stone Town and our guide explained interesting things to us. But it was not just a dry tour, we laughed together, puzzled and we felt very comfortable with our guide. We then visited the market in which it was very wild to and fro. Last we stopped in new Stone Town for a coffee and a fruit shake. My personal higliht was when I was allowed to join the local people for a round of their famous game (I don't remember what it's called). I was just put on a little chair and had to learn the rules myself, which was a lot of fun.
We highly recommend Adrax Tour for a tour of Stone Town.
