“Great tour of Stone Town”
Nassir was a fantasic guide and did a great job of customizing our tour of Stone Town. His knowledge of the history of Zanzibar and Stone Town was impressive and very informative. I would definitely recommend a tour with Nassir for anyone visiting Stone Town.

“Perfect mix of nature and culture in Zanzibar”
Nassir was an excellent guide for our private tour of Jozani Forest, Prison Island, and Stone Town. He was friendly, punctual, and clearly knowledgeable about the island’s history and wildlife, and he tailored the day well to what my girlfriend and I were interested in. The tour struck a great balance between nature and culture: seeing the red colobus monkeys up close in Jozani Forest, visiting the giant tortoises on Prison Island, and walking through the winding streets of Stone Town with its history. We left having learned a lot about Zanzibar. Highly recommend this tour and Nassir as a guide.
Nassir H.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It was truly a pleasure showing you and your girlfriend the beauty, wildlife, and history of Zanzibar. I’m very happy to hear that you enjoyed Jozani Forest, Prison Island, and Stone Town. It was a pleasure having you both, and I sincerely appreciate your recommendation. I hope to welcome you back to Zanzibar again someday! Karibu sana!

“Fabulous tour of Zanzibar ”
Mohd was very sweet and accommodated our demands, like beginning painfully early. We loved Jozani Forest, had amazing encounters with the endemic Red Colobus monkeys. Lunch was great at The Rock. We also really enjoyed the turtles of Salaam Cave, although be warned that some of them nip.

Thank you very much for your wonderful review! I’m really happy to hear that you enjoyed the tour and your time in Zanzibar. It was a pleasure guiding you, and I truly appreciate your flexibility with the early start. I’m glad you loved the visit to Jozani Forest and had a great encounter with the famous Zanzibar red colobus monkeys. They are very special to our island. I’m also happy you enjoyed lunch at The Rock Restaurant and the experience with the turtles at Salaam Cave. Yes, sometimes the turtles can give a small friendly nip, but it’s part of the fun and we always make sure our guests stay safe. Thank you again for choosing me as your guide. I hope to welcome you back to Zanzibar one day for another amazing adventure!
