Out flight into stone town was delayed , yet Yussaf still managed to move around our planned walking tour to capture everything we needed to see before some museums closed . He even booked us into a lovely roof top restaurant for dinner.
We booked 4 trips with Yussaf , and as well as being a very informative and organised guide, it was a pleasure to spend time with him just chatting about life in Zanzibar.
If you are looking for someone to enhance your experience Yussaf is your man . He is professional , flexible to your needs , will create bespoke experiences and above all he is a lovely person to spend time with.
Once again thank you very much my friend and we will stay in touch

Excellent 5 star Zanzibar Tour Guide - Visiting Zanzibar was one of the places on my bucket list but because the stay was so short, I wanted an awesome tour guide so that I could squeeze in... read more as much as possible in 3 days. Yussuf did not disappoint! Yussuf arranged for an early morning pickup at the airport. He was very patient while we checked into the hotel. Since the room wasn’t available yet, we started the Stone Town walking tour straight away. Yussuf was very knowledgeable, thorough, professional, and spoke very good English. We were undecided about what we wanted to do on the second day but Yussuf was very flexible and arranged a trip to Prison Island and Nakupenda Sand Bank on very short notice. On the third day we wanted a free day to shop for souvenirs and go to a late lunch at The Rock restaurant. I mentioned our plans to Yussuf and he volunteered to make arrangements for our transportation to and from the restaurant. He sent photos of the car that would be picking us up and the driver’s name. Ramadan, the driver, was also very knowledgeable, pointing out interesting things along the way. Yussuf checked in with us to make sure all was going well. To top it off, not only did he arrange for transport back to the airport the next morning, but came with the driver to ensure all went well. I can’t recommend Yussuf enough. You will not be disappointed. It’s great that Zanzibar Freelance Tour Guide has more info on his web site to help with your planning.
