A top-tier tour experience - Absolutely outstanding experience. Brendah was exceptionally efficient and professional, with clear communication, immaculate, and comfortable vehicles, and perfectly timed schedules throughout the stay. Their packages were well scheduled with no compromise on quality. The knowledgeable tour guides and seamless planning of transfers and daily commutes made the entire tour smooth, stress-free, and truly top-notch. The choice of places to visit was well informed, from the Safari Blue excursion to the white sandy beaches in Nungwi, to the Stone Town tour and Forodhani night market. Highly recommended for solo and group trips/vacations in Zanzibar and Tanzania ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Best Tour Company Ever!! - Juma, Makame, Brendah and the We Cab family were the absolute best! They treated us like family, they were on time for everyday we booked. They want our of their way to provide the best experience. When we booked the "scary ferry" ride to Dar es Salem, we were treated to a complimentary upgrade. We missed the stop in Nairobi where We were supposed to give donations to an orphanage and they made sure to find a reputable one in Zanzibar, and had one of their guides Brendah, translate on our behalf. I trully felt more like family than a client. I will definitely return to Zanzibar and use We Cab for all my transportation and tour needs.

Best Organizers - Zanzibar, as recommended by our friend Jennifer, became an optional stop on our next trip to our mother continent (Africa). We Cab Tours & Safaris organized the entire trip with the assurance of Jenny, who had just returned from Zanzibar. Beautiful hotels in both Stone Town and Nungwi were recommended for me and my husband. They also organized all of our ground transportation as well as five days of activities on the island. We visited Stone Town Tour, Prison Island Tour, Spice Farm, Jozani Forest, Safari Blue, and the best Maasai World Village, to name a few.
Every day was meticulously planned, and we thoroughly enjoyed our trip.
We hope to return to this lovely island.

Thank you guys - We Cab Tours' five-night, six-day Zanzibar trip was one of a kind. They have well-trained staff, new vehicles, and have planned all of our island activities.
Maasai World Village, Stone Town, Prison Island and Safari Blue were among of the best tours we had. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in one of the island's lovely hotels.
Thank you, We Cab, and keep up the good work.
