He was full of facts but also great company and did a very good job of guiding us through some pretty busy and bustling market spots. Also a shoutout to the drivers we had throughout our trip - Issa, Chile and Mohammed. They were all excellent, very welcoming and got us from place to place safely and on time.Posted on Tripadvisor Lauren GVerified Safari day trip- Mikumi Safari at Mikumi was absolutely AMAZING! The driver/guide was so good at helping us to see the animals and giving us loads of information! We felt so lucky with the animals we saw. A really memorable day we will never forget! Thank you so muchPosted on Tripadvisor Syed RVerified A hidden gem Very good excursion tours organised for us by Fisherman’s Tours and Travel. Yussuf was very helpful. I would just request the company make sure they provide a full itinerary at the time of booking so it’s clear of what’s going to happen when. It’s not a criticism it’s an observation to improve the experience. Stunning views and our family loved it!Posted on Tripadvisor AndyEnglandVerified An excellent tour operator We travelled to Zanzibar with Trailfinders UK as part of a multi centre holiday and they used Fisherman as their ground company in Zanzibar. We were met at the airport on our arrival and transferred to our Resort in the air conditioned comfort of a mini bus. Most hotels are quite some distance from the airport, the traffic can be bad and the quality of the roads is very variable. As a result this is often a 1 to 2 hour journey. Many tourists seem to assume that Zanzibar is a small island and travel distances equally small. The island is bigger than many expect and the roads do not always follow a direct route to the hotels and resorts. Fortunately we had a very good driver in Salum Abass and in fact he was also the driver allocated for all our trips in Zanzibar. Always punctual and very helpful. On every trip we were offered bottled water which was appreciated. The following day we met with Yussuf at our Resort who gave a number of tour options whilst on the island. His professionalism and attention to detail made us feel comfortable and secure at all times. He conveyed a great deal of trust, and it is clear that he is passionate about what he does. We booked a snorkelling trip and a trip to The Jozani Chwaka Bay National Park through him. Both trips were first class and a little bit cheaper than similar trips arranged by the Resort. We saw masses of fishes on our snorkelling trip and the National Park trip was amazing. We saw red colobus monkeys, a mangrove swamp and a forest with massive mahogany trees. Our guide, Hamis Mussa, provided by Fishermans, was very knowledgeable and was clearly keen to pass on his passion and information to us. The return to trip to the airport on departure was completed just as efficiently as all our trips. Based on our experience we would have no hesitation in recommending Fisherman Tours.Posted on Tripadvisor spuddybikeVerified Excellent and informative guided walk We had a guided walk around Stone Town, fascinating and informative historical talk for 3 hours from pre-colonial to the modern day, architectural highlights, market and coffee houses and the slavery exhibit which was a good balance between sensitive and truthful.Posted on Tripadvisor Sasidhar naik MVerified very great experience we had during our trip, tq fishermantours...... I recently completed an 11 Nights / 12 Days tour with Fisherman Tours and Travels Ltd, Zanzibar, and it was truly an exceptional experience from start to finish. The entire journey was perfectly organized, with a very professional tour guide and an extremely friendly and supportive driver who made every transfer smooth and comfortable. From the moment of arrival, the meet and greet service was warm and well-coordinated, making us feel welcomed and cared for. The team ensured everything was handled seamlessly, from reservations to daily planning. What made this trip truly special was the selection of unique and well-curated destinations. Each excursion was thoughtfully planned, allowing us to experience the authentic beauty and culture of Zanzibar in a memorable way.Posted on Tripadvisor Jessica MVerified Nyere Luxury 2 night Safari with Deo We booked a safari with Fisherman Tours via email prior to our arrival to Zanzibar after the hotel passed their details on to us. They advised appropriately and put the perfect package together for us, we are incredibly grateful for this, the price was reasonable and was on all inclusive basis from the moment we was picked up at 4am from TUI Blue Bahari. We arrived at Nyere National Park at around 8am and was picked up by our incredible guide Deo. We were so lucky to have him, he made our trip and ensured we found the elephants, leopard, lions, giraffes, buffalo, hyena & hippos and was incredibly knowledgeable about all of the birds & wildlife in the park. Deo was the first person to spot the leopard which is very rare to find, we were so lucky for everything we saw. We stayed at the Nyere Luxury Lodges and it was amazing, they decorated our room for arrival and we didn't expect them to be so nice! The rooms all had private pool and the staff were incredible, they did absolutely everything for us and we are very grateful. Deo worked incredibly hard and he personally was worth every single penny, we will recommend him to everyone! Thank you all for the most memorable honeymoon.Posted on Tripadvisor DrCombyVerified ¡Una experiencia inolvidable en Zanzíbar gracias a Yussuf! Contratamos varias actividades con Fisherman Tours: un día combinado espectacular haciendo el tour de Stone Town junto con el de las especias, y otro día una jornada de snorkel. Ambas experiencias estuvieron organizadas a la perfección. Además, gestionamos con ellos los transfers de ida y vuelta desde el aeropuerto al hotel, y todo fue impecable, puntual y sin ningún tipo de problema. Queremos hacer una mención especial a Yussuf. Su profesionalidad, amabilidad y atención al detalle hicieron que nos sintiéramos cómodos y seguros en todo momento. Nos transmitió muchísima confianza y se nota que le apasiona lo que hace. Si buscas una agencia de confianza para descubrir lo mejor de Zanzíbar, no lo dudes. ¡Pregunta por Yussuf! Sin duda, repetiremos con ellos en nuestro próximo viaje.Posted on Tripadvisor Eline SVerified Enthousiastic tourguide We did a tour stone town and prison island. We had James Bond as a tourguide, as he named himself. A very happy enthousiastic young guide. He knew a lot, spoke english very well, could answer all our questions. We had a great day with him. We wish him all the best for the future. Everything was very well organised.
