Absolutely an experience to do - the tour was very nice and I must say an experience worth having. Omar was very good, he told us many aspects of the city and made us understand the history of this mix of cultures that are expressed in architecture. The museum in memory of slavery is exciting.

Magical sunset over the port - Splendid tour among buildings with beautiful doors and shops full of delicious handicrafts. Finally, a magical sunset from a terrace overlooking the port for an aperitif. Well done Omar!

A new friend in Zanzibar - Fantastic tour through the historic streets of Stone Town with the magnificent Omar who welcomed us and guided us on a magnificent walk in which he expertly illustrated many nuances of Zanzibar culture with the various cultural and religious influences. His Italian is fantastic, always smiling and helpful. I recommend all visiting Italians to rely on him for excursions.

Highly recommended! - Omar was an excellent guide, he told us the history of Zanzibar and Stone town! He took us to Prison Island, accompanying us with his stories and made us disembark on a beautiful strip of sand to taste some excellent freshly cooked fish and swim in the crystal clear water!
You are on the safe side with him!
