Highly recommended! - At the end of our stay in Zanzibar, we wanted to organise a bespoke private tour of Stone Town to include hotel pick-up and airport drop off with our luggage. Mo and his team sorted it without any problem and at a very fair price. Mohammed, our driver and tour guide, was very friendly and knowledgeable.

Very good guide and a private tour. - Everything was well organized. We booked 3 days with Motours. First day spicefarm and Stonetown. Second day sunset on the boat and third day kwale island with snorkeling and a perfect seafood lunch. Our guide knew everything about Stonetown and toke us to all the special places. Nice to have a private guide.
