The guide Ismail was very informative and the knowledge he had was first class. I managed to get my Partner and I into Freddie Mercury's house where he lived when he was young. The Spice farm was exceptional especially Mr Coffee he made it for us. Also there were only us two on the tour so it was like a private tour. Thank you for the experience....

Full day tour at spice farm and guided tour in Stone Town in Zanzibar. The driver came to our hotel at 08.00 sharp to pick us up for this tour. Overall when we had hotel pick-up and drop off included in our tours it worked very well. The guide at the spice farm was very good and knew all the spices also in Swedish! We got a new guide for Stone Town and he was also very good and nice to walk around with. I recommend this tour

This tour was worth every penny! The tour guide went over and above what we expected. This 4 hour tour turned into 6 hours! The tour was a whirlwind of information. Enjoyed watching the evening sunset at the end of the day.

Bien: Increíble experiencia en la clase de cocina Swahili, muy recomendable la vista a la plantación de especias (Jambo Farm), gente auténtica y muy amable. Mal: Transporte deficitario (el conductor no sabía inglés ni español, mala limpieza), el guía de StoneTown no sabía mucho español y no explicó gran cosa, dimos una vuelta por la ciudad. Conclusión: Experiencia muy recomendable en la granja de especias/cocina Swahili, mala relación calidad/precio por el resto.
