Recommended Simon G2025-04-22Verified Wonderful guide ! Alfa is a wonderful guide ! It was very nice to visit the city with him, he provided very clear and complete information, to better apprehend the history of Stone Town. Alfa and his brother can also provide taxi transportation. Thank you again ! David C2025-04-17Verified The best way to see Stone Town! Alfa is a knowledgeable, energetic, good-natured and well-informed guide of Stone Town. He sets the historical context with clarity and talks and holds your interest as he walks you through the long history of the city. Particularly memorable is the installation and museum to slavery, which is worth the small additional charge. All in all, it is a brilliant way to start one's time in Stone Town and orientate oneself for the rest of the stay. Emilie M2025-04-15Verified Excellent overview! Alfa was an excellent guide. Very knowledgeable and friendly. We did the slave museum which is a must. Very well done and accessible. Jacqueline C2025-04-14Verified History of Zanzibar It was a very interesting experience, if you are in Zanzibar it is worth knowing its history and the cultural mix that inhabits it. The guide was prepared DENNIS TWUMASI2025-04-13Verified The intelligent and incredible architecture of Zanzibar's Stone Town With incredible architecture and design from over 300 years, I recommend that travellers to Zanzibar spend a whole day touring the Stone Town. If you go, be prepared for persistent attention and an environment that may feel like our forefathers lived in a fascinating world as compared to the current world. Sharon02652025-03-18Verified Our guide Alfa was fantastic! I must do!! Excellent few hours We enjoyed a fantastic guided walk around stone town. Alfa was our guide we started at 4pm and finished around 7pm. Alfa is very knowledgeable, we learnt about the history, culture, buildings, religion and food. I would definitely recommend this! We did this on our first day and so we then had a good understanding of the area, and culture. We also visited the slave museum which was heartbreaking, but I feel you need to visit it! Monica2025-03-18Verified Informative and interesting. We were impressed with Alfie’s knowledge and really enjoyed this tour. So please we didn’t try to do it alone. It wouldn’t have been the same without our experienced guide. Ashok Takavle2025-03-17Verified Highly recommended We did the private city tour, spice farm tour and the airport transfers with Alfa. They were very reliable, punctual and provided good service. Would highly recommend them. Sophie Y2025-03-13Verified Great tour, great guide! Amazing walking tour through Stone Town with Alfa tours. We got to know the history of this unique island and see all the historically important sites with lots of fun and flexibility in between. Would highly recommend!
