Perfect! - Admiring our guide was great. He speaks very good French and has explained the history of the archipelago since the arrival of the English, Arabs and others ..... We were able to walk throughout Stone Town from the fish, meat, chicken, spices marches to the essential buildings (mosque, church, dispensary....) He advised us on souvenir shops because we were looking for something specific. He waited for us when we went for a drink on the roof top of the Zanzibar cafe..... A guide like we would like to have in every city!

Perfect 👍 - Amir is a very serious guide. He will be at your disposal to accompany you and to better know the places and the history of this beautiful little town. We particularly appreciated its discretion which makes you feel at times alone. A big thank you to him. We highly recommend.

Two Days of Wonder in Zanzibar - Thanks to Amir for organizing two unforgettable days for 6 people. On the agenda: Day 1: History Stones and White Sand. Morning: Immersion and cultural tour in Stone Town. Afternoon: Getaway to Nakupenda Beach and Feast on the beach. This pristine white sandbar only appears at low tide, surrounded by crystal clear turquoise water. Day 2: Head to the northeast of the island for a wild and authentic experience. Morning: Swim with the Dolphins at Matemwe and Snorkeling at Mnemba Atoll. A true natural aquarium, equipped with masks and snorkels, we explored one of the most beautiful diving spots on the island.
