Total Disappointment

Nancy_I, Aug 2026

Unfortunately this is the first disappointing experience I have had with a Viator booking - The first 30 minutes were spent in a discussion/debate with the guide on who pays for the transport to the Spice farm from Stonetown. It was clearly listed as included in the tour but our guide, Salim (sp?), did not know that and had to call his boss to confirm. He also was not aware of the sites we were to visit per the itinerary. An hour and a half into the tour we still had not visited one of the sites listed. He was very knowledgeable about the history of the slave trade, but was unaware of the itinerary until I showed it to him. When we finally got to the first place listed on the itinerary, the Freddie Mercury Museum, he said we could go in if we would like to pay the admission. I told him admission was included in the tour. Again he had to call and discuss with his boss to confirm (another 10min). Although we finally went by all the itinerary sites, it seemed rushed and incomplete. By the time we arrived at the Anglican Church, site of the slave market, we were already 4 hours into what was supposed to be a 4-5 hr tour and still had to travel 30 minutes and have the Spice Farm tour. Although we would have liked to pay to go into the old slave market, we were behind schedule and frustrated with everything by that time. Salim then suggested we go to a different spice farm than was listed on the itinerary (Jambo). He said it was better but there was no way for us to know that. Due to time, we did not get a full tour of the spice farm, and by the time we were done it had been 6.5 hours and not 4-5. Salim was knowledgeable but not a very engaging and obviously did not know what the tour itinerary and inclusions were. For $70 per person, I expected more.
