So glad that I booked this tour! I had attempted to walk around Stone Town the day prior, but only managed to get lost in the winding alleys. With this tour you get to see the highlights of the wider Stone Town area. Mohammed is very friendly, knowledgeable, and certainly knows his way around Zanzibar, Stone Town, etc. He also timed our tour to miss the big crowds, which was fantastic. I can't say enough good things about Mo Tours & Safaris.

The trip was great! Muhamed Ali Intl was super helpful and answered all of our questions, no matter how hard they were. He is a super chill guy and nice as well. I recommend his tours to anyone, really worth it for the price. Thank you!
The best experience in Zanzibar. Mohammed was an extremely knowledgable, dignified and helpful guide - and the places we visited were fascinating. Mo knew the best routes to take and the right time to arrive. I was travelling on my own, and had no idea how I’d feel taking a solo tour. At all times, I felt relaxed and completely safe.
Mo was extremely knowledgeable about all things Stonetown when taking us around and happy to answer any questions when we asked. The transport was comfortable and cool which was lovely going in and out of from the heat of the Zanzibar sun! Our favourite part of the tour was the Jambo Spice Farm with such lovely, warm people taking us around ready to try all the fruits they produce, too. 100% recommend anyone to do this trip!
My guide was very kind and knowledgeable. We went to stone town walking tour then Changu island then spice farm. The food and fruit was delicious at the spice farm. I would recommend booking with this guide. Please note some services along the way may require tip so bring smaller currency notes.
The spice farm experience and Prison Island were unique. There wasn't much that stood out in Stone City and our tour guide was more interested in Stone City than the other two places that we visited, I would say that he was more interested in explaining things that I have to do with his religion than other things. Made me buy clothes to cover myself because according to him my dress was too short and we could only buy in shops that he wanted.
We had wonderful private tour with Mohamed. He picked us up at the Hotel and took us to Prison Island and walking tour of Stone Town. He was knowledgeable about Zanzibar, its history and people. We had a terrrific tour of the Spice Farm led by Bill. We had lunch at the farm before the tour then Bill gave us a detailed and informative walk through the spice fields. Highly encourage this day tour.

We did a full day trip with Mohamed to stone town, prison island and spice farm. It was really fun. Mohamed is very professional at his work and he is always on time at work. He is informative and he knows well about his country. Highly recommended.
Amazing day trip safari, spotting alot of animals, very professional tour guide and perfect driver, highly recomended lunch and well organized trip. Mikumi safari was extreamely wonderful trip that did in Tanzania. Thank you Mo for everything.
Very secure and professional service We met Mo and his team in stone town after our arrival. We decided on booking a walking tour trough the city on our first day which i can highly recommend everyone for orientation (google maps will not help you navigating trough that narrow streets 😅). We ended up booking a whole package of tours for our 20 days on the island with Mo. As i am not that much in conventional tours (you get them all around the island...) he came up with new ideas and modivied tours as i wished to to give every tour a special twist. In the end we did not regret it at all because we had individual, autentic tours and great service. Mo did care a lot and did his best tp make everyday perfect and unique. His driver Ally was licenced and had an official permit. All the tours were official tours you can also book on your own (like safari blue official tours) but with our special wishes considred.
Well organized company offered us good accommodation and most of must do tours in Zanzibar. Highly recommended
We absolutely loved our walking tour with Mo. We learnt so much about the local culture, history and modern day Stone Town within just a few hours. The town is a beautiful maze. Thank you! We will be recommending you to our friends.
Amazing experience. Recommend Mo and his team 100%. I had several activities booked with Mo tours and loved all of them. Super organization, great communication and personal attention. If I ever come back to Zanzibar I would definitely choose Mo Tours again .

Mohamed took us to prison island where for the first time we saw the biggest tortoises in our lifetime, however in stone town, he gave us a lot of history of the island, stone town and their culture, in the spice farm we visited the plant and for the first time we saw spices on the plants. We highly recommend him.

The best tour company as all we did with them was satisfactory. We did stone Town, prison Island and spice tour with them and we enjoyed a lot.
I had a day trip to Spice farm and Prison island with Mohamed's team. This was good to us deciding booking with him as the experience that we had was even better than how we expected. it's wonderful the island where there are giant tortoises that I saw for the very first time, the beach is light blue and clean, it's a good place to swim and it has a lot of starfish which make it more beautiful. In the spice farm we saw the spices on the plants the thing that we did for the first time. We could harvest, smell and taste the spices and aromatic fruit which are very sweet. I recommend choosing Mohamed to take you to this places.
Mo took us to Prison island where we saw giant tortoises and we fed them, in stone town he gave us wonderful history of Zanzibar, it is sad to hear about slave trade but he is so professional and he knows better about the history, he took us to different museums and to the spice farm we got the chance to eat local food served by villagers and local aromatic fruits which were very sweet, we saw a guy climbing coconut tree, sing and dance on the tree. it was really amazing trip and we recommend to do it with him.
This company is the best for excellent service, they deserve better as they have young tour guides but they are well educated and full of experiences. They are on time and work in proper way. I can definitely recommend them.
My husband and I did these combined excursions and all were exactly the way we planned. Mo was excellent tour guide who knows much better about Zanzibar and it's beautiful attractions, he left nothing concerning the history that we couldn't have even a question because he explained each and everything that we wanted to know. Precisely we recommend him and we plan to do more tours with him when we come back next year.

Mohammed was a fantastic guide throughout the day. He was friendly, welcoming and engaging, making sure we had a teaching and memorable experience. Everything was well organized, from picking up at the hotel to transportation between the sites and the exciting guided tours. Prison Island was fascinating with its history and impressive giant turtles, while Stone Town offered a deeper understanding of Zanzibar’s culture and architecture. The visit to Jambo Spice Farm was a real experience! The food was delicious, and the guide there made the trip both fun and educational. It was exciting to see, smell and taste various spices right from the plants, as well as the local fruits. The only tip is to pay attention to the weather – rain can make the spice farm a little muddy, so wear good shoes and clothes you’re not afraid of. All in all a fantastic trip we definitely recommend! Thank you to Mohammed and the team for an unforgettable day.
Super guide with good German, very informative and the day was varied and top organized!! Super timed! Delicious lunch at Spice farm!! Just great people and an experience for young and old!! Highly recommended!!
We really enjoyed our various outings organized with Mo. We really liked his listening skills and the different suggestions he was able to make to us for visiting this beautiful island. A French guide was by our side which was a plus. THANKS! We will recommend you to our friends.
