A little bit disappointed by the tour to be honest. We learned few interesting things but I thought the guide would adapt his speech for our 2 children.
Isaac, our guide give it his all. He was really good and we had a thousand questions which he answered with patience. Instead of the usual 3 hour your, Isaac took 4,5 hours with us. A really good tour and Isaac was exceptional!
We booked the Stone town and prison island tour which were amazing. Our guide Abdi made our day as he was so welcoming, polite and attentive. He was very knowledgeable and funny which we enjoyed. Really recommend this company. Thank you 😀
Unforgettable Adventures with Zanziphoria! Zanziphoria made our trip to Zanzibar absolutely unforgettable. Their attention to detail and passion for showcasing the beauty of the island shines through in every aspect of their tours. From exploring Stone Town's rich history to snorkeling in pristine waters teeming with marine life, every excursion was expertly guided and thoughtfully planned. The guides are not only knowledgeable but also genuinely enthusiastic about sharing their love for Zanzibar. Whether it was a sunset cruise or a spice plantation tour, each experience felt personal and immersive. Zanziphoria is the epitome of professionalism and adventure, making them our top choice for discovering all that Zanzibar has to offer.
My tour guide. ABDI, was amazing. He brought an umbrella with him, because it was rainy season and it did rain. He was very knowledgeable about the tour plus I had a lots of questions about Zanzibar that had nothing to do with the tour. We weren't rush and I got to move at my speed. Somethings I was really curious about and other things not so much. If you tale the tour, ask for Abdi, you won't regret it!
Had a very interesting tour with the cheerful and enthusiastic Abdi. Also nice for our 3 year old son. He knows a lot of history about the city. In a few hours you will get a very good impression of the city of Stone Town. Recommended!
Our guide Omar has a lot of knowledge, his Italian speech is perfect, he brings us into Stone Town in Zanzibar, in its story, touching the most important sites of the city. Thanks to him we have some good savings for the food and for the gift we bought in the market.
Abdi and his team were very wonderful. Starting from the warm welcome we received at the airport to all the beautiful places that we visited like safari blue, nungwi beach , jozani forest, mnemba island , cuza cave and other places where we had so much fun. We took beautiful photos and learnt a lot about the people and culture .It was a wonderful experience and I strongly recommend Abdi for anyone going to zanzibar. He’s good at his job 👍
Abdi was a great tour guide, I made 3 different tours with him all all of them went really well, even wen l had a little accident during one of the tour Abdi was really amazing taking me to a local hospital, he is very kind and always attentive to our needs, he was a lot of knowledge about all the places in the island and also about the historical interests. I really recommend him as a tour guide to all the tourists that want to explore and have fun in Zanzibar.
Very friendly guide! Abdi accompanied and guided us through three unforgettable experiences, always sharing good tips and interesting information along the way. Besides his tour guide role, Abdi has truly become a friend, as he is a deeply caring person, with a heartwarming personality and great human values. We’ll remember him just as much as the trip. Always smiling, making jokes, and curious about foreign cultures, his presence was a delight! If you want to discover Zanzibar, go with Abdi !!
Abdi and his team went above and beyond for my son and i on our trip to zanzibar. from before we arrived from the states, he was in constant communication and helped to facilitate and plan an itinerary. as an owner and blogger for a travel valet service in the US, i was very impressed with how organized Abdi's tours were set up despite unforeseen changes. we ended up canceling other tours and stayed with Abdi and his driver for all 3 days we were there. hanging out with Abdi was a vibe, and he was extremely knowledgeable and knew all the places to be. he knew about all the history and stories behind the places we visited, and we were even able to bring food and goods to a local village with the help of Abdi and his driver, which was the highlight of our trip. the excursions were gorgeous and the food prepared for us was absolutely delicious and freshly cooked, while all the while playing the best reggae and afro beats to set the mood! my pre-teen had some moments that were a struggle and Abdi didn't hesitate to take time to mentor him and talk to him about the importance of having a positive attitude, and for that i'm forever grateful. i would highly recommend Abdi and his team for multiple day tours and excursions or for hiring a private tour guide! we're at the airport and missing Abdi and his team already! can't wait to come back!
I highly recommend the experience I had with Abdi Zanzibar Tours And Safaris. I contacted Abdi because I saw the positive reviews he had and right away he replied me back and organized my whole staying in Zanzibar according to what I asked. During my staying the company was extremely ponctual in all tours provided and also I was happy to have Ishihaka as my driver! Important to say the car was very comfortable and with AC all the time. We did a private tour to Mnemba and group tour to Safari Blue and Ishihaka was also escorting us to make sure we would have the best experience and not just simply leaving us alone in the boats. Also we made spice tour, stonew town and prison island with Abdi Zanzibar Tours And Safaris and in the last two tours we had a professional guide super kind (Abdi Himself) assisting us during it. Amazing! Thank you for everything Abdi! I will definately recommend you to my friends!
Best tour guide in Zanzibar! Attentive, punctual and cultured, Abdi will take you to the best places on the island, always with a smile!
Abdi was a great guide who was friendly and funny. He showed us everything in stonetown and could say something to every corner. If I go back to Zanzibar I will contact him and will make another tour with him.
Very cool young guy who knows very much about the city. He showed us cool places and was always very friendly. You can ask everything and he will help you and takes time for you. He has a lot of knowledge about stone town and the rest of Zanzibar. It was a very nice and funny time with him.
It was a fantastic experience. We loved visiting Stone Town and knowing all its curiosities. see all the secret corners. Have a drink on the rooftop of one of its buildings and be able to enjoy its views and sunset.
Abdi guided us pretty well around stone town and told us a lot of the city's history. Further, he took us to a lot of places that we wouldn't find ourselves. The views over the roofs were great snd we loved the market!
It was a very nice experience, it’s a very beautiful place. With great cultural wealth
The visit to Stone Town was perfect, smooth and the explanations very clear. Abdi is very welcoming and always ready to help us.
A special experience with a young and very knowledgeable guide. ABDI is the future of a country that has wonderful treasures to explore.
