A rainy day in Zanzibar - My tour guide. ABDI, was amazing. He brought an umbrella with him, because it was rainy season and it did rain. He was very knowledgeable about the tour plus I had a lots of questions about Zanzibar that had nothing to do with the tour. We weren't rush and I got to move at my speed. Somethings I was really curious about and other things not so much. If you tale the tour, ask for Abdi, you won't regret it!

Nice tour of Stone Town - Our guide Omar has a lot of knowledge, his Italian speech is perfect, he brings us into Stone Town in Zanzibar, in its story, touching the most important sites of the city. Thanks to him we have some good savings for the food and for the gift we bought in the market.

Very Friendly Guide - Very friendly guide! Abdi accompanied and guided us through three unforgettable experiences, always sharing good tips and interesting information along the way. Besides his tour guide role, Abdi has truly become a friend, as he is a deeply caring person, with a heartwarming personality and great human values. We’ll remember him just as much as the trip. Always smiling, making jokes, and curious about foreign cultures, his presence was a delight! If you want to discover Zanzibar, go with Abdi !!
