Great tour, with all the things you want to do when visiting Zanzibar! The higher price compared to other tours is fair, because this is all private. We had our own car/driver and an a/c cooled van and got to see alt the things we wanted: Jozani, a spice-farm, Prison Island and Stone Town. The trip also included an authentic swahili lunsj in the forrest. Our driver and the guides vere very flexible regarding the time schedule and you are allowed to spend the time you want at det different places. We ended up traveling for a few more hours than scheduled, but that was because we wanted to relax and swim at Prison Island and because of traffic jam in the area around Stone Town. Make sure to bring some cash if you want to tip the different guides or buy souvenirs.

Boat was very nice, the trip was pleasant. But it doesn’t matter. The experience on the harbour prior to the journey was a stressful nightmare. The porters are awful, impolite and expensive. Do yourself a favor and fly to Zanzibar, avoid the boat at all cost.

A very well organised tour. You have to start before 9 am if you want to see everything in no hurry. Our driver Kamhis was very helpful.

It took us about 300m walk in the hot African morning sun from our ship to outside the port where the car was waiting for us. Then it took another 5 minutes to find the car as our name was put inside the car so we couldn't see it. The car was an old black Toyota Alphard with very good aircon. The driver (forgive me, forgot the name) didn't speak much as he was not a guide. We were on this tour without a guide. First he took us to a fish market. Someone suddenly showed up and showed us around and explained everything in English. Quite knowledgable, probably a "local" guide. We tipped the "guide". Then the driver took us to the National Museum of Tanzania, paid the entrance and accompanied us around. Quite interesting exhibits (including the Presidential Rolls Royce), but sadly both the museum and the exhibits are lack of maintenance and the place was rather hot. Next was a some kind of a souvenir center with pricey handicrafts. We asked the driver to take us to a more "touristic" souvenir market where we could buy caps, flags, etc. which he kindly did. After done with shopping, the driver said, "We're done, now I'll take you back to the port." So much for a "Dar Es Salaam city sightseeing private tour". Not much of the city was worth seeing, obviously.

it was beautiful to see the monkeys at Jozani forest, very interesting information at the spice farm, beautiful lunch at a jungle restaurant, very competent friendly driver showing us besutiful stone town

It was very interesting, I recommend it. We learned about Tanzanian history and have fun going to the Mall.

The chaos of this place may drive you crazy. If you are traveling for the first time to Dar es Salaam, come with patience and spare shillings. You will need both. From the moment you are close to the terminal with luggage the porters are on you, all wanting to take your luggage and help, the Dar es Salaam side is even worse. There are a number of ptocess to go through before you get on the ferry. Enjoy your journey.

Aqeel is a great guy. Very helpful and goes out of his way to keep his passengers happy. We had an airport transfer at 5 am and there was no need for him to accompany us to the airport but he came. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Best wishes Aqeel !

The Ferry trip from Dar es Salaam to Zanzibar was smooth, but…. the porters were extremely pushy and required tip., more than I anticipated giving them and asked if I had more to give.. excuse me sir🙄🤬. My husband was so done and didn’t even need help with our luggage and only agreed to allowed them to port for us, in an effort to allow them to make a few dollars..

I’ve never been on a high speed ferry, so I was surprised at how fast it was going. At one point it was rocking quite a bit, so be prepared with Dramamine if you need it. They also hand out sick bags. They have bathrooms and refreshments on board. If you sit on the front deck you may get wet. The business class seats look a little more comfortable than economy but in my opinion economy is just fine.

The pick up from my hotel was excellent and the driver was very good. But the bad experience came when trying to board the ferry. Everyone was just pushing and shoving their way with no form of organization. The people who own, operate and run that business needs to do better. Exiting the ferry was just as bad.

For me the ferry is a good way to travel from Dar to Zanzibar. It gives a nice view of the Dar shore and in Zanzibar you litterly arrive in the centre of Stone Town. BUT be aware, going from Zanzibar to Dar is a little nightmare for me.. The sea us rough and a lot of people get seasick including myself. The service of the ferry is good though. No complaints there, although it is recommanded to bring a jacket or sweater on the boat cause the AC is standing on Freezer mode.

Driver was not present at airport upon our arrival. I waited 15 minutes before calling the business phone, driver answered and told me he was not coming. He said the company never informed him of a pickup that day. I booked this private transfer to avoid dealing with random taxis at 3am, but that’s exactly what I was forced to do. Please do not book with company.

This was an amazing day!! They pack so much fun in one day its unreal!! Plus they were super responsive and organized before and during the trip. You didnt have to worry about a thing. Every guide was knowledgable and positive. You had a time schedule but they were great at working at your pace. I cannot speak highly enough of this company and trip!!! Helpful tip: you will carry your belonging and anything you buy during the whole second half and there are likely 7 people you will be tipping throughout the day, its a little spendy but so so so so worth every penny!

We were provided with amazing service from Aqeel who works for the company. He personally provided us with our tickets at our hotel which was a very nice surprise! Such amazing professionalism. I definitely recommend them!
