I felt veryy sorry for the people living there because life is difficult. To see what they are using for publick transport. But this is really something you must see, does not help me telling you. The people are very thankfull and honest and it is save to walk the streets in a group.

Having read the comments on Eco & Culture Tours on Tripadvisor, I got in touch with them before my trip to Zanzibar: the communication with Robert was fluent and to the point; after consulting another tour operator too, I chose Eco & Culture because with them I could take part in shared tours, much cheaper than private tours for a...

We booked most of our excursions from Eco & Culture Tours before our departure to Zanzibar. Via-email communication with them was great. Robert patiently answered all our emails and was helpful to arrange all the special requests that we had. We emailed our inquiry to a number of companies and although Eco and Culture was not (financially) the best offer... More

my partner and I chose Eco and Culture Tours in 3 different occasions and we had a great experience. The communication with Robert was excellent, prompt and professional even before arriving in Zanzibar. We were suppose to do only the Safari Blue Tour which was a true apocalypse of beauty and the Spice tour which was exactly what it was... More

Having read good reviews on Tripadvisor on Eco & Culture Tours, as well as reading the descriptions of their tours on their website, we decided to use this company as our operator for our four days in Zanzibar - it also promised to reflect our values of sustainable tourism. Big mistake. While communication with Robert via email was helpful, precise,... More

After deciding on a last minute trip to Zanzibar during high season, I began to panic as every hotel I emailed turned out to be full, pricey ($750+ per night) or just didn't respond at all. Then I stumbled upon Eco + Culture tours, which has a unique perspective on the island, focusing on tourism that supports and celebrates the... More

Although we have evaluated alternative local Zanzibar tour operators as well at the end Eco culture tours was the number one . Without booking any fixed trip in advance the... More
