Competent and reliable - Khamis Davido gave us a competent tour of Stone Town in German. During our week's holiday we got to know him as a very reliable, well-groomed and friendly guide and visited a spice farm and various beaches on the island with him. We can happily recommend Khamis.

6 out of 5 stars ⭐️ - We are so glad that we visited Stone Town together with Khamis. He is super friendly, smart and his German is really excellent: you understand everything and can ask him about every little thing - Khamis knows the answer! We learned so much on this tour and we were really surprised how quickly time went by with him and his knowledge of his city. Thank you for this great experience, we would book you again anytime 😊👋🏼

Khamis is a brilliant guide! - Khamis is an awesome guide who helped organise a full day trip around stone town, nakupenda island and prison island. He was super knowledgeable and helpful during our time together and even went the extra mile in helping us organise our ferry to dar es salam. A brilliant guide and an even better person!
