Highly recommend for all tours. - We did 6 tours in total and we cannot fault any of them. Our trip wouldn’t have been as good as it was if it wasn’t for these tours. They were well organised, punctual, great value for money, informative and above all friendly & safe. He also arranged drivers for us on days we didn’t have tours with him, one day he even helped us organise a quad bike tour with another company. If you are ever on Zanzibar there is no better place for all of your tourism needs. 10/10 service.

Great Experience - Saif did an amazing job on the Stonetown and the Zanzibar Spice Tour. He was very patient and accommodating. I especially loved the Spice Tour because it gave me a lot of information on medicinal plants and herbs used to heal the body. Lunch was delicious and I can’t wait to take my sons next year.

Nice tour at Prison Island - Seiph found us walking in Stone Town for a promenade and he offered to organize a tour, I asked him to give us his number so I could confirm later on WhatsApp with him He was really nice and showed us around in Prison Island, the tortoises (if you go at the right time you’ll be able to feed them), the old prison, a couple of dikdiks Then, when the tour of the Island was done we went diving and checking some coral reefs which was very cool as we were the only one the spots (but maybe it was just our lucky day) Finally we went back on the boat to go back to the hotel (just on time to see the sunset from the boat)

Relaxed walk through stonetown - Thank you Seif for that chilled tour. It was a walk starting by the water and moving slowly towards the market. He gave us a lot of information and had an answer for every question we asked. Only sometimes it was a bit difficult to understand. We can recommend him.

Not recommended - Quite hard to understand the guides English. I was travelling alone and noone else on the tour.. I felt a bit uncomfortable with his personal questions by the end.
