Great walking tour of stone town - Nassor was great. So knowledgeable and great English. Learned a lot about the history of the island and answered all our cultural questions too. Really enjoyed!

An authentic and surprising experience in nature - I went to visit this spice farm and it was a really amazing experience. The guide showed us all the spices, explaining which trees and plants they come from, cutting the roots, making us smell, touch and observe each ingredient closely. It was very interesting and instructive, because we often use spices every day without really knowing where they come from and where they are made from. A very nice moment was when they made us attend a kind of show: a boy climbed high on a palm tree to get the coconuts, all singing a song, making the scene even more authentic and engaging. After the visit we stayed to eat there and were also offered lunch, all surrounded by nature. Overall it was a beautiful experience, genuine and well organized, which I absolutely recommend to those who want to discover something new and live a moment in contact with nature.

Spices abound! - Loved seeing a wide variety of spices, herbs and fruit grown on the island and learning how to properly discern the plant species from smell alone. Would absolutely recommend as an educational excursion!

Absolutely recommend! Beautiful Place - We had a really nice trip to Hakuna Matata Spice farm. We got pickes up in time by a friendly and carefully driver. At spice farm itself we met our tourguide Sauda and her trainee Ali who were so knowingly and funny. We really enjoyed the trip and recommend as must see on Zanzibar. To see how the fruits and spices grow in their naturallly enviroment was awesome.

Spice - Interesting spice tour, with the possibility to see and support extra activities, but not forced. Pick-up worked well. Nice half day trip.

Worst guide in the world - Definitely the worst tour I’ve ever been on. Guide was 20 minutes late, no apology or explanation. Bought juice for himself but not water for me which was supposed to be included. English was very poor, very very little talk he spent all his time on his phone. Learned nothing. Very depressing tour
