Privétour van een hele dag naar Stone Town + Spice Farm en Prison Island

The tour itself didn’t really align with the description. There was no snorkeling and the guide didn’t have the same itinerary from the company that was on Viator. In Stone Town he asked what we wanted to see and didn’t have a prepared tour. We also had to share the itinerary with him to be able to make the stops at the church and old dispensary. He wasn’t aware those were supposed to be stops. Also, it would have been good to know that at each stop, a local guide would take you instead of the main guide you’re with. Each of these local guides also expect a tip, so we ended up having to tip 4-5 additional people we didn’t expect to. A set lunch time also wasn’t part of the full day tour. We knew it wasn’t included, but assumed there would be a set time to stop for an opportunity to get lunch. We ended up not eating until almost the end of the tour when we had to ask to be taken somewhere. Overall, the tour was informative and we did see all the main attractions mentioned. It just wasn’t the smoothest and not quite as expected.

Le guide était très sympathique. Il a juste passé beaucoup de temps au téléphone mais pour la bonne cause. Il nous a dit essayer d'aider des clients dont les valises avaient été perdues. Les visites étaient très intéressantes. Nous avons particulièrement apprécié la ferme aux épices. Nous avons eu juste une petite surprise. Il était noté dans le descriptif de l'excursion que le déjeuner n'était pas inclus. Nous pensions qu'on nous aurait laissé du temps pour manger à nos frais mais il n'y a pas eu de temps mort. Nous avons attendu la fin de l'excursion pour manger. Je suis néanmoins persuadée que le guide nous aurait proposé une solution si nous lui avions demandé.

Loved the Spice farm experience. The farm provides a guide which was very knowledgeable. Loved smelling and seeing all the spice plants. Got to see someone climb up the coconut tree and drank/tasted fresh coconut. Also we were treated to fresh fruit and teas. There's also a store in which you can purchase. For the farm though it is CASH only and the spice guide, assistant spice guide, coconut guy, and fruit/tea shack people primarily work on tips so that caught us a bit off guard. Recommended bringing extra small bills for tips and additional cash if you want to buy spices. Stone town was neat and loved the architecture and slave market history. There's plenty of souvenir options. Prison island and seeing the tortoises and peacocks was cool.
