The experience was actually great thanks to our guides. However, the agency kept changing the dates - the first time beacuse they did not communicate the correct hotel name to the driver so we waited for 30 minutes and no one came to pick us up and the second time without any reasonable justification. I recommend the experience but I advise you to book directly with Paradise Tours and Safaris.

It was one of the worst tours we had in Zanzibar, and we had many during our 12days stay. Booking through trip advisor the schedule mentioned departure time 07:00. The night before I received a text on my WhatsApp that I will be informed for departure time that night. They informed me that it will be 9:30. Our guide arrived to pick us from our hotel which by the way was right in front of the departure point. However the boat was nowhere to be found and arrived almost 1 hour later, which all this time we were waiting standing up on the beach. When he arrived our guide asked us our shoe sizes so he would go and get some snorkeling equipment for us, but he returned only with masks and no flippers. The boat was one of the slowest ones and we arrived really late at the prison island and it was already very busy. Our tour guide gave us a 2 minutes speech about the prison island and then told us to just walk around while he was constantly on his phone playing some game. When we finally left prison island for the vanishing island we arrived at a very crowded place full of other tour groups. They put up a tent and started cooking and they didn’t take us snorkeling like other tour guides did. The had less chairs than our group so one lady had to take her child on her lap in order to eat. Initially they just placed the food in front of us in a big plate no forks or plates, when we asked for some they were going around other boats to get some so we ended up eating cold food. Last but not least when we arrived at the Stone town tour our guide didn’t care to give us a real tour was on his phone and was just walking through stone town telling us just about the difference between the Arabian and Indian doors and very few information. When we finally arrived at the first food market we decided to leave because it was so obvious our guide had no interest to give us a proper tour from the beginning of the day. The rest of the group felt the same since we discussed his behavior and the absence of organization in general

Every thing were great and everyone were very nice and funny Adam the driver and Shalom the guide the trip was not too long or too short We so beautiful place We enjoyed it very much

All the persons were very nice, and let u have the most fun on your time. Thanks to every one on the trip. And i will return with more persons.

Do not recommend!!! We started our tour on Prison Island with our tour guide. The Island itself was nice and beautiful, our tour guide explained maybe 3 or 4 things about the island. WE DID NOT FEED OR SWIM WITH THE TURTLES. HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT AS THIS IS WHAT INWAS LOOKING FORWARD TO THE MOST. The guide was on the phone the ENTIRE TRIP. He didn’t even offer to take our photo on the island. He would disappear and tell us to meet him when we are finished. Then we went to vanishing island to have lunch and beach time. There is no chairs, towels, or bathrooms. The food was good and people that wanted to do snorkeling could do so. You will be asked by so many people to buy this and that. They never go away. I had on shades and was trying to relaxed and they said hello until I acknowledged them. Then after that we had our tour in Stone Town. This was not the best tour by far. The guide was not knowledgeable and again was on the phone. Over all we would not recommend this tour.

A terrible experience. The guide was very business Oriented and not into customer service at all. We waited 2 hours for The food and another 1/2 hour in The Rain for The taxi afterwards. No hello or goodbye, no politeness to find at all. I Will not reccomend this!

We went on this tour as a family of four, which included two folks over the age of 65. Everyone had a great time exploring Prison and Vanishing Island as well as Stone Town. Prison Island was quite crowded, as we went during high season, but we still had a fun time - especially viewing the island’s tortoises. And while Vanishing Island also had quite a few people on it, each tour group sets up their own private space and it was comfortable for everyone. We also had a chance to snorkel at the nearby reef and saw many fish and coral. The tour of Stone Town was a perfect way to end, and we got to see a good mix of history and contemporary sites. Would highly recommend!

The best things we did in Zanzibar. Starting from stone town we left on the boat KIKOFIA and captain musta with his crew. The trip was very pleasant and the crew very friendly and made us enjoy the journey. First stop prison island, where we got a guide who εξοπλισμό everything about the island history, and saw, fed and touched the giant tortoises, which were really impressive and friendly. Next stop was the Nakupenda island, where we had the chance to swim in amazing turquoise and warm ocean waters, took fantastic pictures and then had a delicious seafood lunch prepared by the captain and crew on the spot. The only bad thing is we couldn't stay longer as the tide covers the island in the afternoon. Finally, captain musta left us at the stone town port where we met our guide Slim (one of the best guides I've ever had) . Slim took us around town for a walk that lasted nearly three hours, explained everything about the historical sites of the town, gave us plenty of information about the history of the island, the slave trade past of Zanzibar qnd finally saw us some of the best places to buy souvenirs and other stuff. Great experience which I definitely recommend to anyone visiting

The place is extremely beautiful. People are helpful and welcoming any tourists. The nature is extraordinary.

I did this tour with David, and it was super. Even though the weather was not nice in the beginning, the experience was great. We started at prison island, feed the turtles and listen some history. At vanish island we had amazing lunch after we seen Stone town. David also took us to a spice farm on the way home. It was a great days.

Our guide was fantastic, Ibrahim, he stayed with us all day and a we were lucky enough for it to just be the 2 of us, so felt it could be tailored and personal.

Our tour guide left us multiple times and didn’t say much of the history of stone town or prison island. Meh experience..

The pick up was on time and the driver was really nice. We then went to Prison Island with our tour guide. The Island itself was nice, our tour guide explained maybe 4 or 5 things about the island. Then we went to vanishing island to have a bbq there. The food was good and people that wanted to do snorkeling could do so. For me personal the stay was a little bit long. Until then everything was alright. Then after that we had our tour in Stone Town. This was by far the worst tour I've ever had! The guide showed us about 4 places and explained so little! If we had known that THIS was the Stone Town Sightseeing we would have never booked! Over all we would not recommend this tour. I wish we would have booked somewhere else since there is so much to see in Stone Town and know about Stone Town.

I highly recommend Mustafa, he is wery kind, trustable person. We went with him to visit a lokal willage it was very interesting we learned a lot about the lokal life. We have had a lots of nice chatting and I can say we are friends since that time. If you're in zanzibar ask him to take you around the island.

I recommend trips with Mustafa. We had good time full of interesting things to see and information to learn.
