Informative an Enjoyable Tour - Naz was a very pleasant and informative guide. He had a lot of knowledge, his English was good and he was clear to understand. He didn’t rush things and I felt I could look at some things longer if I liked. A couple of sites were closed for renovation but we visited the slave market museum instead. ( Admission at own cost) I highly recommend this tour and Naz, as a great way to get informed and know your way around Stone Town.

Amazing walking tour with Nas; would absolutely recommend! - I thoroughly enjoyed my walking tour through Stone Town with Nas! We visited all the highlights, landmarks and historic sites around town. Nas told about the culture, history and architecture and he was able to answer all questions. It was a great way to learn more about Stone Town and Zanzibar in general. Nas is experienced and knowledgeable, but above all a very friendly, enthusiastic and caring guide. I would absolutely recommend this walking tour with Nas to everyone who visits Stone Town!

Golden Walk Tour of Stone Town - Nas has extensive knowledge and background of Zanzibar’s history. When he’s retells the events, it’s almost like he brings it back to life. I highly recommend. He is such a professional.

Fascinating Stone Town with Nas as our guide - Nas gave us a history lesson of Zanzibar along with sharing information about the architecture, culture and current affairs. He was very good and proud of his country. He provided us an umbrella for the rain and took us to shops that provided good value. The spice, produce, meat and fish markets were the highlights for me. I highly recommend Nas!

The history of Stone Town - Das gave us a lot of history and showed us the historic sites in Stonetown. I would have liked a bit more on the people and culture but he was patient and knowledgeable and answered all our questions. If you can, book early in the day. It was hot and humid at noon ( not Das’s fault!).
