Nas was incredibly knowledgeable about Stone History and easy to understand! We learned so much. He was also very attentive. My mother and I toured on a hot day, he encouraged us to drink water, picked paths in the shade, and stopped at places we could sit.

Thank you very much

Nas spoke English well...

Nas spoke English well and did a great job of showing us around the city. He also negotiated for souvenirs for us. Nas was a great asset during our time in stone town, for example finding a laundry mat.
