Awesome day with Ibrahim. - Ibrahim is an amazing guide. Very knowledgeable about so many things. The tour at the spice farm, he explained all the spices and their use in food as well as their medicinal use. The walking part of the tour in Stone Town was also very informative. He knew where all the cool doors are! An amazing guide!

The Best Experience EVER !!! - Hassan was a phenomenal guide. His insight of the culture and history was impressive. Hassan provided an unforgettable tour of Zanzibars historic sites. His passion for history was evident as he shared stories and facts that you can’t find in guidebooks. The tour was well-organized, starting on time and covering all the promised sights without feeling rushed. Hassans ability to engage with all the participants, answering questions and ensuring everyone felt included, made the experience truly special. His recommendations for local activities were a delightful bonus, adding an authentic touch to our visit. I highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to delve deeper into the heart of Zanzibar. Thank you, Hassan for a memorable day!

Ibrahim was punctual, kind, knowledgeable and made sure we were able to see and spend time seeing everything. He had a great spirit and arranged our trip to maximize the best tour. I would highly recommend Mango Tours and especially Ibrahim!

This tour is a must! - We enjoyed ever part of this tour. It was educational and also a great opportunity to shop and experience the culture. The full day tour allowed us to experience a lot in a short period of time. Our guides answered our questions and were very knowledgeable.

Instructive and full of experiences - It was a wonderful trip with many new and impressive experiences. Marvin, our tour guide, told us a lot about the fascinating world of Zanzibar. The trip and the explanations at the spice farm were lovely. It was a nice idea to weave crowns, bracelets, etc. that were given to us as a farewell gift. We also enjoyed tasting the fruits and teas. Very tasty.

A wonderful experience and time which we’ll remember for a long time. - Ali, our guide was most informative and attentive. We felt he’d become a part of our family. One of our members was recently injured and was traveling with a wheelchair. Ali was most accommodating about her limits. Even then we saw and experienced everything we wanted to.

There was not much of a... - There was not much of a tour. They picked me up late (not a bid deal), and then essentially just took me places, with little explanation. Not a tour, more like just follow some guy and just let me read the signs where we were. You can find a better tour and a much cheaper one. Not worth the price and did not get to learn much.

Horrible time in Stone Town - Terrible experience. Tour operators were not friendly at all. The description was not accurate and we didn’t get to snorkel as mentioned. Would not recommend this tour! Was told we could get a refund and was never given one. We up booking through our hotel for a tour that included swimming with turtles. Book with your resort you won’t regret!
