The best zanzibar trio - Spice farm was amazing, so many fragrant plants! Stone Town had such a cool vibe, definitely worth exploring. Prison Island was interesting, though a bit sad with its history. I'd recommend hitting up all three, maybe doing spice farm first thing in the morning. Our guide was super knowledgeable and shared lots of stories about the local culture. Don't miss out on trying the local dishes, especially the seafood - it's fresh and delicious! I wish I could remember the name of that coconut curry, yum!

A lot of history - Spice farm was amazing, so many smells and tastes! Stone Town had a really cool vibe, definitely worth exploring the narrow streets. Prison Island was interesting but a bit sad with the tortoise history. I'd recommend hitting up the spice farm first, then spending a good chunk of time wandering Stone Town. Our guide was super knowledgeable and shared a lot about the local culture. Don't miss trying the local dishes -soyummy! For a truly authentic experience, ask your guide for restaurant recommendations off the beaten path.

Beautiful activities but a busy guide with his phone - The visit to the spice farm was very interesting. Only time our guide took his time.
Prison island was pretty but little explanation and a rush visit.
For the tour of the city, for the most part, we had to chase our guide to not lose sight of it. Very few comments, no time to stop to look, the visit of Stone Town which should have lasted 2 hours took barely 3/4 hours.
During the travel times and the tour, our guide was often on the phone, we would have liked to have information about history, culture....
Lunch was good and really very hearty, here again we would have appreciated feedback.
Too bad, I think it was a nice excursion.
