Amazing Day of Exploration and Learning - Our guide for stonetown was very informative and patient in answering all of our questions. The tour of the church and holding cells were very eye opening. Our guide Abdul showed us some good shopping spots and even carried my bag of souvenirs. We had the most delicious lunch with beautiful views. The food was served family style and there was something for everyone. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable. The spice farm was so interesting and gave me a deeper appreciation for how spices are grown.

Zanzibar Excursion - We did a couple of excursions with Yazan Tours and airport transfers. The one that included Jozani Forest, the spice farm, and Stone Town was very good, the food was very good and plentiful, Yasser's explanations were very interesting and in perfect Spanish. It's also worth noting that they are very punctual and respond immediately when you contact them.

Great day full of interesting the sights, tastes, sounds and history of this amazing island - Our friendly driver Salim collected us from the hotel and drove us to Stone Town where we were met by our tour guide, Hassan. He walked us around the historic parts of the city with lots of information and checking we understood, answering any questions. His English was very good. We weren’t entirely convinced we got the best prices at the gift shop and spice stall he encouraged us to stop at but we were also happy to invest in the local economy. The slavery exhibition was excellent at telling the story of this brutal part of history, and the memory of standing where the slaves were held before market will stay with us for a long time. Then to be taken to the Spice Farm and eat an absolutely delicious home cooked meal with stunning views was a joy. The Spice Farm tour was informative and entertaining, again our guide Yazan had excellent English and we enjoyed learning about the different spices and plants grown there. The journey was safe and we’d recommend this to any traveller

We had such a wonderful... - We had such a wonderful time on our **Stone Town and spice farm tour** today! Yasser, our guide, was absolutely brilliant. He did an excellent job of sharing the fascinating history of Stone Town with us. What made it truly special was how incredibly patient and understanding Yasser was with our elderly parents. He walked at a comfortable, leisurely pace through the charming streets, making sure everyone felt at ease. It was a truly **great experience** for the whole family!

Amazing experience! - This was a wonderful experience. Walking through Stone Town and listening to the history as well as testing our knowledge of the spices on the spice farm was amazing. Yasser was an excellent tour guide, frequently checking to see if we had any questions and making sure the experience was more than what we had expected. He was responsive and was even helpful in offering suggestions for other tours that made sense for our itinerary and where we were staying. All the drivers provided to and from were prompt and friendly. We were truly able to have a great experience with no worries or as is said, Hakuna Matata. I will be reaching out to Yasser on any future trips to Zanzibar and recommend this tour as well as any others Yazan tours has to offer.

2 day trips in Zanzibar with family with teenagers. - Bedankt Yasser ! To introduce us to life on Zanzibar. We really enjoyed the visit of stonetown, the spicefarms and lunch at the locals. And the second day to Maalum, Jozani forest and measuring beach. From Yasser we got a professional explanation and he is very friendly and otherwise very helpful. Price/quality a winner!

Zanzibar 2025 - Back from Zanzibar, we spent a week with Yasser. Several booked excursions with him. He was on top. My favorite Stone town and spice farm as well as Island prison and Nakupenda sandbar. Everything was fluid and well organized and in addition he speaks French. A big thank you to Yasser for a great week.

Great experience with Yazan, thank youii for everything 😄 - From France we have communicated with Yazan and organized our stay in Zanzibar: airport transfers, inter-hotels, tailor-made private excursions. We were lucky to meet Yazan: punctual, kind, kind... he contributed greatly to the success of our trip. You can trust him with confidence. And congratulations to Him for learning French on a phone during covid. What a credit. We wish him every success in his endeavours. He struggles and gives himself the means to be able to make a living from his activity. TB value for money and our money goes directly to a super zanbarite. Don't hesitate, you can trust him and you will meet a very endearing person. Encore merci Yazan 😁
