We were lucky to have a great guide, who spoke French. In addition to being very funny, he showed us around the city up and down! We were able to see historical monuments, others very pretty and typical of here. We then shared a lunch in a nice little restaurant.

Great tour with an excellent guide, Salum. The visit is very interesting; Salum took us to all the key places in Zanzibar and was very available and very clear and interesting in his comments. He has a very good knowledge of the history of his city and his country. We warmly recommend this visit and this guide, Salum, who is also very friendly and smiling.
