We met our guide at a small hotel in old Stone Down because this was where we stored bags on our way to the airport. Charisma was there promptly and made sure to ask what we wanted to accomplish with our limited time. His historical knowledge was excellent. He also took it upon himself to arrange taxi service to the airport and offered porter services of our purchases and with our luggage. Very considerate and professional!
We had a fabulous day in Stonetown with Charisma tour. We were a group of 8, including elderly people and young children. Our guide was kind, patient, flexible and highly informative. He stayed with us much longer than the tour had planned for and made sure we had a unique experience. Warmly recommended if you are in Zanzibar
Charisma was extremely knowledgeable and very friendly, patient and accommodating to our family. We had a lovely day with him exploring Stonetown and enjoyed listening to all he had to share with us. Thank you for a wonderful day out Charisma!
The Stonetown walking tour was well worth the time. Charisma is very knowledgeable and guides you at your pace. Highly recommend.
Informative walking tour of Stone Town. Our guide Ameena was vey knowledgeable and explained everything during our tour every step of the way! She was very flexible with what we were interested in and hit all of the highlights. Our driver Rashid was also great and very comfortable ride back and forth to our hotel on the beach. If you are looking for an authentic tour of Stone Tiwn I highly recommend this one!
Good to explore the Zanzibar stonetown, you will see the amazing building with and hear amazing history of the zanzibar island
Honestly you can do this on your own! You can see Freddy Mercury home and the Slave trade museum on your own and just walk around the town. No tour guide needed.
A great tour of this lovely town, the guide contacted us the day before and was on time, not a rushed walk and informative with lots of local knowledge, you could also adapt if you wanted to do your own stop.
The guide was great and knew everything also about whatever you ask about. Also a fun guide, his name is Osman. The company is good at reaching out

Embarking on the half-day walking tour of Stone Town was like stepping back in time. The rich tapestry of history, culture, and architecture that Stone Town offers is unparalleled, and experiencing it on foot is the best way to soak it all in.
It was the best trip that i ever had .we had a lot of fun ,the place was incredible,and our guider was so cool ,kind and charming thank you so much.
I met Karisma in Zanzibar but it soon became a friendship, we are friends and we help each other out, he is hardworking and wants to earn his money through work. I definitely recommend him as he speaks very good French as well.
Mudi was a competent leader He speaks very good German and is very attentive Highly recommend him All shown and explained
Charisma had been recommended to us and we were not disappointed. On the contrary, great welcome from the airport, then transfer to our hotel with an explanation of the history of Zanzibar. Nice to meet him, we asked him for a tour of Stone Town. And there we discovered a very professional person!! And really nice (that we already knew 😃)!!! Frankly, we recommend Charisma for her hospitality, professionalism and kindness ☺️ Ride with your eyes closed 😉 Thank you Charisma 🙏
We did a 2-day visit to Stone Town, Memba with swimming & dolphins + sunset on a Dhow in Nungwi with a wonderful Zanzibarite guide, of exemplary kindness and intelligence, who speaks French perfectly and which explains in detail the life of the Zanzibari people with their traditions. He is very educational, of exemplary patience and takes great care with his customers. I recommend it to you with your eyes closed. The 2 days spent with this Charisma guide will remain engraved in my memory. His phone +255 692514446.
Very Charismatic! Incredible day with Charisma, you can tell he loves his country and he knows how to convey it to us very well. He knows Stone Town like the back of his hand and makes us discover the history of the city, its traditions, its cuisine, its culture... I recommend it with your eyes closed, you will have a great day in its company! Looking forward to coming back to Zanzibar just for a guided tour with Charisma :) Asante Sana

Charisma is for me the best guide to Zanzibar. He is always there to help us across the country, he finds us taxis and the best prices for activities on the island. You can go there with your eyes closed. He speaks French and English perfectly. I will come back to Charisma on every trip to Zanzibar
Charisma is a pleasant, honest and competent person. We had a great time at these coasts. We have wonderful memories of the excursions with him. You can go there with your eyes closed. We also recommended it to friends who were going there with their little boy and their feedback confirmed our opinion. Thank you Charisma!
