Big recommendation - I had a very nice tour with Nas. Very informative, but he also made it interesting the way he tells the history of Zanzibar. No rush over Nas. We even had time for a coffee at Jaws corner and chat with locals. There was also time for a little shopping. Very good experience

Informative and entertaining private walking tour with Nas - After we visited Prison Island with Nas, we had a great and individual walking tour of Stone Town with him. From the first moment when we met, Nas was very friendly, accommodating and made us feel welcome. He has a very depth knowledge of history and combined this with fun facts, making the tour informative and very entertaining. I had injured my foot beforehand and couldn't walk much, but Nas was very considerate of that and kept looking for places where he could tell us everything while I sat down, he was very flexible and made the tour comfortable. His spoken English is excellent and we highly recommended the private walking tour with Nas.

Portuguese in Zanzibar - Excellent tour! Nas was amazing, explaining us everything, and making sure that everything was in our liking! Even made the effort to look the portuguese words, that are still in use, in Zanzibar, today.

Walking Tour of Stone Town with Nas - We had a fantastic walking tour of Stone Town with Nas and can't recommend him highly enough! From the moment we met, Nas was incredibly friendly and made us feel welcome. His spoken English is excellent, and he was able to share so much insight about the history, culture, and everyday life in Stone Town. What really stood out was how he tailored the tour perfectly to our family’s needs. Whether it was taking a quick detour for restrooms or stopping for a bit of shopping, he was always happy to adjust the plan and make sure everyone was comfortable and having a good time. We were also touched by the number of locals who greeted him warmly along the way — it really made us feel like we were getting a truly local experience. If you're visiting Stone Town, skip the big tour companies and go with someone who truly knows and loves this place. Support local – you won’t regret it! Highly recommended!

10/10 Highly Recommend! - I had an amazing experience with our tour guide! He was incredibly informative and knowledgeable, sharing tons of fun facts and trivia throughout the tour. He truly went above and beyond, showing us around the entire city and giving us much more time than the scheduled 2.5 hours. Honestly, the time flew by because of how engaging and enjoyable he made the experience. To top it all off, he even walked us back to our hotel, which was such a thoughtful gesture. A great guy and an exceptional guide – I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking to explore the city!

A trully precious experience - An excellent guide that I highly recommend! The breadth of knowledge he has about the history of Stown Town and beyond is truly amazing. You can really feel his enthusiasm for working with you, as a visitor, both in the fact that he can answer any question you have, but also in the passion with which he does it and creates that bond between guide and tourist. Congratulations!
