A nice day trip ending with delicious local food - We booked a trip to Stone Town and Prison Island direct at our hotel and we're really happy that we got the chance to have Seif for this trip! He gave us a really nice tour through both of the places with many information about their history. It was really nice that he didn't just give us a long monologue but also asked about what we know about the points and the history that happened there. One special thing was, that we wanted to visit the night market as well, so he made sure, we can try the typical Zanzibar food and also have enough time to check all the market.

Good intro to Stone Town! - Booked the Stone Town walking tour with Seif via booking site. Seif is friendly and communicates clearly, being a solo traveler I felt very safe with Seif ;) he is clearly passionate about his hometown and explained the history of Zanzibar and answered all my questions. Highly recommended if you are looking for a good guide to the area.

Great Guide. A Must Do. - Seif was a very knowledgeable guide, and I learnt so much about the history of Zanzibar from him. It was a wonderful morning walking around Stone Town exploring all the historical sites as well as the fish and spice markets. Seif really knew his stuff and provided a lot of good advice in regard to shopping for tanzanites.

A good experience - Our tour was very helpful and gave us a good idea of the area. Seif was knowledgeable and his English was nice. He adjusted the tour when he found out we were coming from many years living in Malawi. He also met us at our hotel since it was just my husband and I. We followed up on several things we saw the next day. Thanks!
