Nas was an amazing guide! - Nas was an amazing guide! The tour was well planned, and we visited all the key landmarks.

Excellent and highly recommended 2 hour tour of Stone Town with Nas - I booked this 2 hour tour of Stone Town with Nas based on the good reviews and the hype lived up to the billing. Nas was a very knowledgeable tour guide of all things Zanzibar and Stone Town. He knows his history and locations inside out and if you ask a question that he doesn't know the answer to he tried to find the answer immediately. Nas is also a good humored, personable, and positive gentleman and I enjoyed my time in his company. I highly recommend booking this tour!

Immersive tour with knowledgable guide - Excellent personal tour with a knowledgable local guide. In addition to the usual attractions, Nas went out of his way to show us lesser know spots such as Jaws corner and Saint Joseph's cathedral. Very immersive. Strongly recommended!

Fun facts & great company !! - We had the best time on this tour. Nas is amazing!! He brought us to parts of stone town we never would have found by ourselves and was so knowledgeable about the history of stone town. He even took us off route to the zanzanite museum as he knew I had a special interest in it. Definitely recommend anyone wanting to get a feel for the local area to do this walking tour.

Splendid experience! - 738 / 1500 A tour in Stone Town? Definitely with Nas! He knows so much about the history of Zanzibar and Stone Town. And he loves what he does! He talks with such enthusiasm - it's a joy to listen to him. He also included quizzes every now and then, where we could guess things or predict the outcome of events – that was really fun. He also tailored his tour to our individual wishes. Thank you, Nas, for showing me the house of Bibi Salmé, the princess of Zanzibar, about whom I am currently reading a book. This made the history even more vivid for me. All the best to you, Nas! With your warm nature and vast knowledge, you are sure to inspire many more people!

Learned SO MUCH About Zanzibar with Nas - Nas was amazing! Right from the start, he shared interesting facts about Zanzibar’s history and kept us smiling with his great sense of humor. It was clear that he truly enjoyed sharing his knowledge with us. He was probably just as passionate as we were. Nas, we learned so many new things and really loved the tour. Thanks for showing us around and even teaching us some words in Swahili! Asante sana!
