Visit of the spice farm - Very nice spice farm experience with a guide expressing himself in very good French. This one took his time to explain everything. The transport went smoothly. We recommend this activity.

A tour not to miss! - We loved our Stone Town and Spice Farm tour with Lukman! The Spice Farm tour was especially entertaining. Mario and Ali were unexpected and very entertaining additions. Being able to purchase spices straight from the farm was a highlight. And the Swahili lunch was spectacular!

Highly recommended! - Great tour, very nice guide and overall a great experience! We could see, touch and smell all the spices on the spice farm. Afterwards we received a fresh coconut, very delicious! Also very delicious was the lunch prepared by local women, a real Swahili meal!

Welcoming Zanzibar - Young guide who speaks very nice French, but not Yazan tour, delicious Swahili meal. Stone town has changed over the last 30 years, many more tourists but it’s still going well (but not for long because there are so many hotels being built). Unfortunately, the house of wonders no longer exists, yet it was the image of Stone Town. Interesting spice farm. Zanzibarites are always so nice everywhere.

Amazing Day of Exploration and Learning - Our guide for stonetown was very informative and patient in answering all of our questions. The tour of the church and holding cells were very eye opening. Our guide Abdul showed us some good shopping spots and even carried my bag of souvenirs. We had the most delicious lunch with beautiful views. The food was served family style and there was something for everyone. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable. The spice farm was so interesting and gave me a deeper appreciation for how spices are grown.

Nice tour, but wish the guide had better grasp of English - While we had a nice tour of Stone Town, lunch at a very rustic “restaurant” in the jungle (it was a hut with tables and a small kitchen where a cooking class was happening), and a great tour through a local spice field, the entire experience was hampered by our guide’s (named Lukman) lack of a sufficient grasp of English. He knew enough English to tell us the stories and about what we were seeing, but did not understand our follow-up questions. Also, he provided us with only 10 minutes at the slave exhibit (not nearly enough time to read the dozens of panels of information) and did not explain anything about the exhibit. He also didn’t explain what the “restaurant” was cooking for us to eat, which meant a fairly awkward experience until they served us food. There were several times when we asked a question and he responded “I’ll tell you later,” and then never told us the response. It was as if he couldn’t go off-script. We had a great time touring the spice field. That was a highlight for us. I’d recommend a tour with these activities but hopefully you’ll have a more fluent English speaker.
