 Verified Great service, very helpful and responsive. We were 6 people (parents, 3 adult children and a 13 y old son) and did all our tours with GoSmart Zanzibar: Stone Town, Spice Tour and Prison Island, Mnemba and Turtle, Jazani Forest and Safari Blue. We also used their services for sone transfers. Said has been incredibly responsive, at all times, and flexible when one of us got sick and he allowes us to postpine the tour by one day at no cost even if only notified the evening before. Ali, our driver, very polite, helpful, and a very good driver in not always easy driving conditions. Amazing people and amazing week!

 Verified Amazing experience with go smart Zanzibar Tours and safari The excursion was amazing with professional and kind staff. The driver picked us up on time and allowed us to enjoy every spot. Started with mnemba island for dolphins and snorkeling, then the aquarium swimming with turtles, then kendwa beach. And awesome long and wide beach with very clear water, white sandy beach with lots of water sport activities and finished with sunset cruise which was epic. The driver waited patiently the while day and back to out hotel in the evening. I would recommended this your company and looking forward to doing another excursion with them.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. GoSmart helped us with multiple transportations and organized several tours for us, customizing the tours to our needs. Said provided amazing organization from the office, was always super responsive and flexible to adjust to our needs. We had to change some tours and adjust the schedule last minute when one of our group fell sick and Said saved our trip helping to reorganize everything. All drivers and guides were very professional. In particular, Ali excelled being extremely polite, sympathetic and ever helpful. Thank you all for making our trip to Zanzibar memorable and a pleasure! Can only highly recommend them if you go to Zanzibar.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We met Said at the Airport and we did all the activities with him (nakupenda, prison Island, dolphins, sea turtles, juizani forest and spice farm). We loved every activity, especially nakupenda in which we were just us on the boat/lunch and not a big group as often happen. He is very punctual and friendly. I would recommend him!!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We were planning a trip but didn't want to get into the hassle of booking everything ourselves. We were recommended to Said from GoSmart Zanzibar Tours and Safari. He made our Zanzibar vacation enjoyable. He took care of most of our traveling needs. He was professional, friendly and approachable from the first day he pick us up from Airport until the last day we came back. He has all travelling expertise and he was able to answer all our questions patiently. I really recommend GoSmart Zanzibar Tours and Safari if traveling to Zanzibar. Their services is the best. We visited a lot of places like Nungwi beach, Prison island, Kuza carve, Stone town and many more.
