Don't do it

Debbie_S, Jun 2026

There is no pick up as stated. We were walked around areas of stone town which we had visited several times during our visit for 40 mins. The guide had little communication with us. We were then taken back to the food night market. We picked several meat, chicken and sea food skewers to eat. The guide would not pay for the food and said we should have burger or pizza. He then agreed to pay and then left shortly after. We were shocked to find out he did not pay for the food therefore we had to pay. We paid £54 for two for a 3 hour tour with local food. We only had around 40 mins with no food and drink. We were also left with an additional cost of £35. We are struggling to get our money back from anyone. The tour operator is ignoring our messages and viator is leaving it up to the tour operator to sort.

Mady gave us a lot of...

Mady gave us a lot of great information about history of the stone town and Zanzibar. Very detail. We walk through major sites. And pass through small alleys like a local. And Mady gave us good tips about the street night market, some may not very safe to eat. Other than no tropical fruit and grilled seafood. Everything for us to try was there. Many good local experiences.

The best food in Zanzibar

Natalya_L, Sep 2022

The best part was food we tried at the market where usually only locals eat. Beef broth with chapati was the best. 2. I have never seen such huge avocados in my life. 3. I was surprised to learn some historical facts while walking along the narrow streets on Stone Town 4. Khomad is a fantastic guide - highly recommend
