kathrinApril 2, 2025Verified A great choice from the start! We had a great time from the beginning! Ibrahim wrote and it the day before we arrived in Zanzibar and then waited for us at the airport with a smile on our face. During the good hour until our hotel he told us all kinds of things and gave us a little overview. By the way, we had internet to let the family know that we arrived well. From the very beginning, we felt that we were honestly in good hands. Absolutely friendly, accommodating and simply pleasant. We couldn't have had a better start to the holiday! Because of this we also discussed other activities which were all great. All tours were individually and great prepared! Thanks and see you soon, hopefully! Kates PFebruary 26, 2025Verified Sandbank and snorkeling Our tour was great! We went to the sandbank in Zanzibar and saw the most beautiful crystal clear water! It was incredible! Along the way we saw dolphins!! On the boat ride we were given water and delicious fruits! After we went snorkeling and saw so many fish!! Definitely recommend! Andjela IFebruary 25, 2025Verified ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing Zanzibar Tour with Ibrahim! We had an incredible experience on this tour! Everything was well-organized – the driver was punctual, and Ibrahim was an outstanding guide: friendly, knowledgeable, and always making sure we were comfortable.Swimming with turtles was absolutely magical, and visiting the spice farm was both fun and educational. Mnemba Island is a true paradise, and the entire trip was flexible and perfectly tailored to our needs.If you’re looking for a professional yet relaxed and authentic Zanzibar experience, I highly recommend booking with Ibrahim. You won’t regret it! Rudina BFebruary 2, 2025Verified Excellent services provided by Ibrahim during our stay in Zanzibar. Booked taxi tours and Prison Island and Nakupenda. Excellent services provided by Ibrahim. He came to pick us up at the airport and made us feel so comfortable from the start. We were interested in some tours and Ibrahim explained all the tours that he was proposing. He sent us all the details over and we booked Prision Island and Nakupenda beach through him. Him and his team were amazing, explaining us all the history and making sure we were looked after throughout the trip with refreshments drinks followed by a great seafood lunch in Nakupenda beach. He also took us back to the airport and even treated us to coconut from locals on the way to airport. We would happily reccomend him to our familly and friends .
