Great tour with a great guide! - We also did the Spice Farm tour with lunch. Fantastic history tour with the most knowledgeable guide! The Stone Town tour was unforgettable with the guide -Salum Jumane! He knows his history and went out of his way to assist us in payment issues and even offered to pay with his own money! Totally honest and reliable, would highly recommended.

Stone town & sunset boat cruise Zanzibar - Would definitely recommend booking with paradise tours for your trip to zanzibar. The stone tour was incredible with our tour guide, he was very knowledgable about everything. We seen Freddy Mercurys house this tour was $10 each (which you pay yourself) but was worth it. Our guide curated a plan that suited us, after the stone town we then went on a sunset cruise which was amazing, the boat had a band playing traditional music with people dancing. The day was fantastic so I would highly recommend.

Tour to Stonetown - We had Saif as our guide. He was well prepared and showed us patiently around in Stonetown where we saw a lot, and bypassed the spice market and the market. Super nice trip where we were picked up at our hotel and driven back.

Stone Town Tour Review - Great tour! We got to see all the important sites in Stone Town such as the old market and the Slave Trade Exhibition Site. Our guide even went the extra mile and took us up to a 360 viewpoint of Stone Town. All our questions were patiently answered. If you want to try local sugar cane juice, he knows the best places!

Highly recommend for all tours. - We did 6 tours in total and we cannot fault any of them. Our trip wouldn’t have been as good as it was if it wasn’t for these tours. They were well organised, punctual, great value for money, informative and above all friendly & safe.
He also arranged drivers for us on days we didn’t have tours with him, one day he even helped us organise a quad bike tour with another company.
If you are ever on Zanzibar there is no better place for all of your tourism needs.
10/10 service.
