It was beautiful, my tour guide MR RAMA was so patient, educative and very professional, I loved the prison island and stone town tour. 10/10 experience
Take water with you. The tour was very interesting and informative. Our heart broke for the slaves that horrible time in history. Both our guides had the information required. All our questions were answered clearly. Prison island was very interesting also. To see the good work of the preservation of these ancient creatures is a great thing Zanzibar is doing. Hopefully they can be released into the wild one day.
Guild was great but it seemed a shame the way the tortoise are kept especially the young ones spending 10 years in a small cage. The town was great plenty to see and do guild happy to do things your way
Οι χελώνες του Prison island και το μέρος του σκλαβοπαζαρου στην Stone Town. Ο ξεναγος δεν με πήγε στην αγορά μπαχαρικών και στην ψαραγορά. Αυτό το θεωρώ απαράδεκτο στην ξενάγηση
Wir hatten mit Saidi einen tollen Guide, der englisch und deutsch gesprochen hat. Seine Führung und die Erklärungen waren sehr interessant. Ein rundum gelungener Tag.
