Valeriia_G, Jan 2021

Interesting to see the local life and household procedures we don’t use over 50 years so this part is quite impressive. But 90% of the time it’s not allowed to take photos of people (they don’t like it even from the distance of 20 meters and start screaming). So it’s perfect if you want to walk around for 1 hour but if u’re hunting for pictures be prepared for lots of negative. The tour guide gave the basic information and then left me at the middle of the village 10 minutes walk from my hotel saying “that’s it”. I’ve had around 15 tours in Zanzibar the whole month but that was at first. It was very impolite and unprofessional. There’s no pick up or drop off at the hotel option even if you’re located at jambiani, but they organized one for me after contacting the agency directly. I was the only person on the tour and even though I paid for 2 people (it was the only option to book) I had to beg for starting the tour at my hotel or at least picking me up because the walking distance was 48 minutes.

Skuffende guide, god tur

Vi var på village tour to personer. Turen var i sig selv super god! Vi fik både set den lokale tangfarm, en skole og et sygehus. Dog var vi ret skuffede over guiden, som egentlig ikke gjorde en masse for at gøre turen spændende for os.
