Highly recommended: very nice, kind and attentive service.
We did Zanzibar Spice Tour, Blue Safari and all transfers with Mohammed-Ali and his driver. Very professional and reliable team with nice, kind and attentive service. Mohammed-Ali helped us to buy fruits and translate at the market which was really helpful. Moreover Mohammed-Ali was so nice to go back to the hotel in the North where my son forgot his book and he brought it back to us at Stone town.

Unreliable
When I booked this tour my hotel was not listed as a possible pickup site. Fine, no problem. The Zanzibar Ferry Terminal was listed as a meeting place, so I selected that location. At 4:00, the time for the tour to start, I was at the terminal looking around for the guide. Nobody was there. I sent an email to the company, and followed by messages on WhatsApp. There was no response. I sent several more, telling where I was, sending a photo of myself to help the guide find me, asking how to recognize the guide, asking if anybody was coming. Silence. I waited there for over half an hour, which was rather unpleasant since a foreign woman alone and looking confused attracts quite a bit of attention. And I had to talk to each man that approached me wanting me to go with him because I never knew if this was finally the guide or not. Finally I gave up and left. Later that evening I got a message on WhatsApp with a halfhearted apology and an excuse about them having some trouble with their email. No explanation was given however as to why the WhatsApp messages were also ignored. They offered to do the tour the next day instead, but I declined for two reasons. First, I didn't want to go with a company that would let someone book a tour and then not bother to show up, or even send a message letting that person know that nobody was coming. Second, I had booked in advanced and didn't plan anything else that afternoon so I could go on the spice tour. I wasn't going to clear the rest of my afternoons for them too so that I could sit around and wait until they decided to show up at their convenience. They said they understood and promised a refund. That was ten days ago. For comparison, another tour I had booked in Zanzibar had to cancel. They notified me in advance and I got the refund that same day. For this tour it has been ten days and there is still no refund in sight. I have sent numerous messages to the company, and each time the response is a promise the refund would come. After a few days of seeing nothing I asked when that would be. That's when they tried to tell me that the tour wasn't supposed to be for another month and that I would get a refund at that time. I reminded them that the entire reason for the refund is that the tour date has passed and they didn't show up. They then promised again that the refund would be given. Several more days, several more messages, still nothing. I asked yesterday again for a time to expect the refund and again they tried to tell me that it's July and that the tour isn't scheduled until August. I sent them a photo of the ticket with the July date clearly visible. More time has passed and I'm still getting the run around. Every time they say they're going to refund the money, but then do nothing. Then they act genuinely confused as to why I am still here asking for a refund instead of going away and being satisfied with getting a bunch of empty promises and nothing else. Lesson learned. If you schedule a tour with this company, don't trust them to show up for it. If nobody is coming to meet you, don't expect to be notified. If you request a refund, don't expect them to give it to you.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Zanzibar Day Trip, Jozani forest, Spice Tour and stone Town tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Zanzibar City.
How much does Zanzibar Day Trip, Jozani forest, Spice Tour and stone Town tour cost?
+
Prices start at $80 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Zanzibar City usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Zanzibar Day Trip, Jozani forest, Spice Tour and stone Town tour take?
+
Plan for about 6.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Zanzibar City is not rushed.
Is Zanzibar Day Trip, Jozani forest, Spice Tour and stone Town tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 52 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Zanzibar City, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Zanzibar Day Trip, Jozani forest, Spice Tour and stone Town tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Zanzibar Day Trip, Jozani forest, Spice Tour and stone Town tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Zanzibar Day Trip, Jozani forest, Spice Tour and stone Town tour?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Zanzibar City can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Zanzibar City and add a light layer if any part of the 6.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Zanzibar Day Trip, Jozani forest, Spice Tour and stone Town tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Zanzibar City within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Zanzibar City?
+
On Outty we rank every Zanzibar City experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Zanzibar Adventure Quad with Sunset and Transfer Included, 3 Hours Private Stone Town Walking Tour, Stone Town Private Walking Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Zanzibar City?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Zanzibar City?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
