Traveller reviews

A good place to relax after a grueling hike!
This was my first Independent trip through G Adventure and it was wonderful. My guide, Omar, was a great help. He rebooked my flight, added another night to my trip and was a friendly face in a foreign place.
As an independent tour, this was a good experience. Wish we had had another day in Stone Town.
