    We took this tour on a very last minute, just a night before. Was the only one that was not scheduled in the morning, so actually we did not have much of a choice. Luckily, all went just fine. Our guide Mohamed was punctual, decent young man with many interesting stories he was telling during the walk through Stone Town. He was not in a hurry, so we stayed longer than expected and it was really pleasure. We want to thank him and would definitely recommend Mohamed for anyone who wants to explore Stone Town.

    Very interesting half day trip to Stone Town. We first visited the slave museum, then went with our (German speaking!) Guide Mohamed walked through the large market where we could calmly view the wide selection of goods (meat, fish, vegetables, coffee, spices). Then visit the well-known buildings from the outside, these are unfortunately often dilapidated or have just been renovated. There was never the feeling of being in a historic neighbourhood. Despite everything very interesting also thanks to the remarks of our guide. Good thing to interrupt the beach holiday.

    We made the half-day excursion to the city, we were changed at the last moment, we had to wait more than half an hour, during this time Mohamed was with us trying to make us wait more bearable. The visit was with Henry, he showed us the city with brief explanations at different points, the problem is that his Spanish was limited and we think he could have told us more details. Enterprise was formal and met the established itinerary and time. We have Mohamed to thank for his management.
