“We were fortunate to get Ally Jape as our guide and he was PHENOMENAL. He shared interesting information on Stone Town accompanied with his opinions and commentary which was extremely insightful and stimulating. For every question we had, he shared an informed answer and opinion. He took his time to explain things and show us around without rushing. We visited various landmarks and learned far more about Zanzibar than we could imagine. Could not recommend this more, it was our favourite experience in Tanzania! Very professional and personalised experience!”
