Engaging, interesting, funny, we loved it - Nas was brilliant , engaging , very knowledgeable and funny. The pace was just right, we never felt hurried. As well as the history of Stonetown and Zanzibar , Nas was also prepared to talk about his own life and family which we found just as interesting. This slightly shorter tour of 2.5 hours suited us very well in the heat of the afternoon. Thank you Nas. Linda and Tony from England

Excellent and highly recommended 2 hour tour of Stone Town with Nas - I booked this 2 hour tour of Stone Town with Nas based on the good reviews and the hype lived up to the billing. Nas was a very knowledgeable tour guide of all things Zanzibar and Stone Town. He knows his history and locations inside out and if you ask a question that he doesn't know the answer to he tried to find the answer immediately. Nas is also a good humored, personable, and positive gentleman and I enjoyed my time in his company. I highly recommend booking this tour!

Immersive tour with knowledgable guide - Excellent personal tour with a knowledgable local guide. In addition to the usual attractions, Nas went out of his way to show us lesser know spots such as Jaws corner and Saint Joseph's cathedral. Very immersive. Strongly recommended!
